Clinton’s supporters also were saying she was best under pressure and we will soon see that side of Hillary as she goes to New Hampshire as an underdog, given Sanders’ double-digit lead in polls there.

The updated results gave a boost of 0.1053 state delegate equivalents for Sanders and 0.0167 for Martin O’Malley, who placed in third, while Clinton lost 0.122. During her visit, Clinton was also scheduled to meet with Flint Mayor Karen Weaver and other city officials.
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Clinton about the implication from the Sanders campaign that Clinton changed her vote on a bankruptcy bill fifteen years ago as a senator. “I don’t have as much trust”.
The former president appeared to get the most mileage out of his criticism of “Bernie Bros” – the name given to some supposed young male supporters of the Vermont senator. “It seems like she’s trying to be everything to everyone”. It’s not an easy task but if done properly, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will have the support and the substance needed to secure a victory in November and the White House for the next four years.
SANDERS: Is that what the Clinton people are talking about?
The Sanders rally in Portsmouth was a reminder of his depth of his support here. Clinton was backed by almost 70 percent of those 65 and older.
The former president’s comments are reminiscent of his behavior in the run-up to the 2008 New Hampshire primary, when he said that then-Sen. As Politico noted, Clinton accused these people, some of whom have been denounced by Sanders, of sexist behavior online. But a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted in January suggests she may have cause for concerns there, too.
On Sunday, ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos pressed Clinton on whether she would release the transcripts of her paid speeches, following up on her pledge from Thursday’s debate that she would “look into” making them pubic. “It is not a luxury”, she said.
“Well, I don’t know”. I’ve always been guided by the same values.
There are a lot of people excited about Bernie Sanders these days.
For example, he gave her a pass on her past email practices. But, no, I do not go and raise money for the financial institutions. The bigger problem she faces is a lack of enthusiasm among younger voters that could dog her campaign when it turns South. The shift in rhetoric may raise questions about who and what Clinton really is. So, I have never impugned a Secretary Clinton’s integrity. Clinton hopes to use a narrower-than-expected loss in Tuesday’s primary as a springboard into contests later this month in Nevada and SC.
Chief rival Bernie Sanders encouraged Clinton to be transparent.

Clinton said she has a tougher plan to take on Wall Street than he does and she’d rather debate those issues. Recently, she has started flavoring her speeches with some of the economic populism for which Sanders is known. “Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and say I’m not voting for the person I like”. “And I can’t help but think about how I felt when I first came to New Hampshire in 1968 to campaign for my presidential candidate, Gene McCarthy, to end the war in Vietnam”.
