Hillary Clinton is shedding some of the caution that has been a trademark over three decades in public life as she urgently tries to surpass rival Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire. And while Fagan said she like Sanders’s message on climate change and taking on the banks, she is still undecided and feels a pull toward Clinton.

“This is not merely unacceptable or wrong, though it is both”.
Sanders has been leading Clinton by double-digits in most polls leading up to the primary. Thank you. And the democrats, Hillary Clinton traveling to Flint, Michigan, standing with those suffering from the water crisis.
There are also politics at play for the trip: Clinton’s appearance in a majority African-American city will resonate in early voting states like SC and Nevada, where minority voters make up large portion of the electorate.
“When I think about what our young people have gone through, what they have known about our country … there is no wonder that they along with so many of us are saying, ‘Wait a minute, we’re better than this”. She also said her plans were more fiscally responsible.
Pastor Kenneth Stewart who preached to the audience before Clinton arrived, was speechless after Clinton’s remarks, openly crying from the pulpit after her remarks.
This does not bode well for Clinton, who has trouble with younger voters. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and his supporters who have attacked his wife, Hillary, as she campaigns for the Democratic nomination for president.
Clinton seemed to feel a renewed urgency and was certainly conceding nothing as she rallied volunteers and supporters Saturday afternoon at a middle school gym in Concord. “It bothers me to be in an election where debate is impossible because if you disagree you’re just part of the establishment”, he said.
He described a progressive blogger who wrote a favorable column about the former secretary of state but was compelled to post it under a pseudonym out of fear of blowback from Sanders proponents. When she closed, a woman stood and yelled, “It’s your time Hillary”.
No surprises in New Hampshire: Bernie Sanders will win but the Clinton campaign should use this as the catalyst to stop playing nice. Sanders called for more people to come out to vote.

“She has the support of virtually the entire political establishment here in New Hampshire”, he added. And ask if what New Hampshire tells itself -and the world -about the primary, that it rewards candidates who put in time here, who interact with voters one on one, and that everybody gets a shot etc, still holds. This weekend, former President Bill Clinton wooed voters in Las Vegas, campaign surrogates knocked doors in San Antonio, and Clintons aides announced an upcoming meeting with civil rights leaders in New York City. As her opponent’s themes have gripped the liberal base in the state, many voters are wondering whether they should go with their heart in following Sanders’ uplifting message or their head in prioritizing Clinton’s experience.
