Clinton now faces struggle to win back younger voters

“Clinton had the night she needed to have”, Berg-Andersson said. By Wednesday morning, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and businessman Donald Trump were the clear frontrunners for the Democratic and Republican nominations. Sanders has previewed his line of attack on the campaign trail in recent days by pressing publicly for Clinton to release transcripts of paid speeches she gave to Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs.

In most states, Trump and Clinton look to be leading, but that’s certainly not the case in Bernie’s home in the State of Vermont where he’s expected to win handily.

I don’t want Clinton or Sanders to be the next commander-in-chief; neither will get my vote in November. Then-Sen. Barack Obama was devoted to a colorless campaign that avoided specific talk of race and policy prescriptions. “Sanders to catch up”. Without them, it’s much closer – 595 to 405.

Clinton’s haul leaves the campaign with $31 million cash on hand, a sizable bank roll for a campaign that will have to spend heavily during March’s primaries and caucuses. He did not share details.

She said near the George Washington University campus, “I’d vote for Bernie not because he’s a man or a woman, but because he thinks the political system works for those who have the power, who have the money and the wealth – and a political system should be about everyone”. Sabato’s also notes that liberal support for Sanders fits with Oklahoma’s “strong though ancient Socialist tradition” dating from the early 20th century. Sunday’s debate site was chosen to highlight a poisoned water crisis in majority-black Flint, which both candidates have said would never have happened in a richer, whiter city.

On Tuesday, she joined dozens of others manning phones at Sanders’ campaign headquarters in Burlington and has canvassed for Sanders in Vermont and MA. But the Sanders campaign points out it seems to be doing better with rural and younger voters.

Her rival, Vermont Sen.

“It had no influence on my vote”, said Jay Indik, 54, after voting for Sanders.

Is this the beginning of the end for Sanders?

The campaign has some state-specific plans to hone its message, Weaver said.

Three-quarters of voters said empathy or honesty was their number one trait desired in a candidate. As a senator from New York, Mrs. Clinton opposed a Central American Free Trade Agreement but supported deals with Australia, Singapore and several other nations. I don’t think so. Bernie Sanders? Is he better than Clinton?

The only bright spot for Sanders is among likely Democratic primary voters who consider themselves independent. She also talks about adding new manufacturing jobs to replace those lost overseas, and about rebuilding the middle class as the nation’s economic engine.

On Super Tuesday, Clinton surged ahead of Sanders by the metric that matters most: delegates. They have to go 1,462 delegates more to go. Almost 15 percent of eligible voters are Hispanic, the Pew Research Center has found.

Conversely, Louisiana’s substantial black population bodes well for Clinton, as she has received overwhelming support from black voters in previous contests. He said the key is backing “smart and fair trade, where American workers get a level playing field with the rest of the world”.

After warming up the crowd with a performance, the drummer repeated his glowing endorsement of the candidate before the Vermont senator took to the stage and returned the love.

Second: A Sanders nomination is not going to be easy, and there are more losses to come; if he pulls it off, it will be because of well-targeted efforts in enough states to overcome Hillary Clinton’s advantage.

Secretary of State William Galvin says a record turnout is possible.
