Taking a detour from New Hampshire’s campaign trail, Hillary Clinton said Sunday that a water crisis in a MI city was “immoral” and demanded that Congress approve $200 million in emergency aid to address the community’s battle with lead-contaminated water. Clinton gained seven points of support from Democratic voters while Sanders lost 6 points.

“‘Anybody who takes money from Goldman Sachs can’t possibly be president.’ You heard that, sort of, in the last debate”, Bill said, referring to Sanders’ attacks on Hillary Clinton for accepting large speaking fees from Goldman Sachs.
Nationally, Clinton is still beating the Vermont senator among women, with 48% to Sanders’ 38% according to a February 5 poll from Quinnipiac University. The state was the launchpad for Hillary Clinton’s comeback in 2008, and after his performance in the 1992 primary here, Bill Clinton deemed himself the “comeback kid”.
As New Hampshire prepares for its caucuses to be held this Tuesday, a new poll has placed Sen.
Bill Clinton was referring to a CNN story that detailed Sanders’ fundraising with big-wig Democratic donors.
The hand shaking as well as the campaigning for his wife continue as Bill Clinton attacked Bernie Sanders and his supporters over the weekend. He’s telling voters that he is the candidate who represents not just change, but revolutionary change to the American political system.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s joke, as supporter of Clinton, that “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other”, appears to have backfired. “I’m fairly certain that if she had been asked to go on Saturday Night Live, she would have gone to Flint on a different day”.
Of note as the rival campaigns find themselves locked in a battle over the employment of sexism by supporters this week, the Reuters poll also finds Sanders garnering more support from women than men across every age group.
For her part, Hillary Clinton’s final arguments for the New Hampshire vote also made efforts to draw a clear line between her and Sanders. While aides say there was no campaign-wide calculation to put the former president on offense, no one is complaining about it, either – and they’re happy to see him defending his wife.

While Clinton has received most of the people’s support a year ago, the beginning of 2016 has proven to be a little bit of a struggle for the lady candidate who has remained strong, despite some critics slamming her email issues. Look, we don’t want that crap…anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things-we don’t want them.
