“She has the entire establishment or nearly the entire establishment behind her”, Sanders said. “But you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I ever received”. “And I really don’t think these kinds of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you”.

“Our campaign is committed to earning the support of every Michigan voter by making the case that Hillary Clinton is the one candidate with the toughness and the experience to do all parts the job of President”, said Hillary for America Michigan Press Secretary Clark Pettig.
Clinton and Sanders clashed numerous times during the debate, most notably in a heated moment regarding Sanders’ portrayal of Clinton as being in the pocket of Wall Street.
Clinton also inspired little confidence on Thursday when she was asked during a debate hosted by MSNBC whether she would release transcripts from the Wall Street speeches. Sanders said he would lead a “political revolution”, but Clinton questioned his ability to get his proposals through a Republican-led Congress. “It is undermining American democracy and it is allowing Congress to represent wealthy campaign contributors and not the working families of this country”.
Clinton’s camp downplayed the significance of the fundraising results in a statement from campaign manager Robby Mook, which suggested early organizing and investment “has already paid off with a Hillary Clinton victory in Iowa”.
“If you’ve got something to say, say it directly”, she said.
Hillary Clinton confidently predicted on Thursday that the escalating controversy over her use of a private email server “absolutely” will not derail her 2016 presidential campaign should she win the Democratic nomination. She showed her muscle on foreign policy.
Trailing massively behind Sanders in the latest opinion polls of New Hampshire primary, 68-year-old Clinton accused Sanders of a “very artful” smear. So it has been in recent days between Sanders and Clinton as their campaigns sparred over whether she was sufficiently progressive to carry the banner of the Democratic Party. But it’s important to keep in mind that the United States does not vote for presidential nominees in a national contest, but rather state-by-state, and Clinton holds significant leads in upcoming primaries in Florida and SC that could reinvigorate her supporters. He noted that he agreed with Mr Obama on the issue, despite Mrs Clinton criticising the then-senator in 2008 for being “naive”.
“Senator Sanders has said he wants to run a positive campaign”.
Sanders persisted with his suggestions that Clinton’s loyalties were colored by a reliance on big corporate donors.

The Quinnipiac University poll has Clinton getting support from 44 percent of those polled while Sanders is at 42 percent. “We have to look at the threats that we face right now”. And her prospects are much stronger after Iowa, as the race moves on to states with more diverse electorates that are to her advantage.
