Clinton supporters, however, are quick to point out that what’s happening in Iowa and New Hampshire, doesn’t necessarily apply here. For example, she GoldenTree Asset Management paid her $275,00 for remarks she made before their clients. If Bernie Sanders can exceed the early performance of Barack Obama and win both Iowa and New Hampshire, his long history of being on the right side of history on the Civil Rights Movement, women’s rights, gay rights and matters of war and peace, will bring along more and more voters, including those of color, to #FeelTheBern.
FiveThirtyEight, which utilizes factors beyond polls in its “polls-plus” predictions, gives Hillary Clinton an 85 percent chance to take the state, with Sanders at 15 percent and O’Malley at less than 1 percent.
“It’s usual for all candidates in the presidential, particularly someone who’s doing well and becoming a top-tier candidate”.
“I know what it is like to run from behind in New Hampshire and I know what it is like to come from behind and win in New Hampshire”, Clinton said, raising her voice at the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws’ Pro-Choice Roe v. Wade Dinner.
“It sort of restores my faith in American democracy and the way our politics work because people want to hear what you have to say”, Shaheen said. We can’t wait to help the minimum wage workers I meet who are working one, two jobs and still can’t figure out how they are going to gather enough money to make any progress.
Shaheen said Clinton has the vision and ability to be commander in chief. “Sanders and myself is over healthcare”, she said.
Like Sanders, Clinton pledged a tough approach to regulating financial institutions.
Sanders, who has knocked Clinton for accepting speaking fees from Goldman Sachs, tried to draw a contrast Thursday with Clinton on Social Security. “Once we do that, we can create a new dynamic in this race”, O’Malley said.
Jared Freemon, 20, a junior economics and marketing major at Drake University in Des Moines, said he liked Sanders’ ideas about making public college free and providing health care for all, as well as the senator’s candor in talking about the injustices minorities face.
Sanders directly acknowledged the criticism, saying: “If people want to attack me for this, that’s fine”. Sanders’ campaign took issue with the ad’s contention that Clinton was “leading the diplomacy that keeps us out of war”, pointing to her 2002 vote to authorize the Iraq war.
Iran already has a role in Iraq and Syria combating the Islamic State; Sanders in his comments appeared to suggest that the United States lead the effort, but rely on Muslim troops to engage in combat. “What has happened, I think, essentially, is it turns out that ordinary Americans have been looking at the political process a little bit differently than the pundits on TV”.
“They will certainly let you know what they think”, Smith said.

During her remarks just hours before in the same town in eastern Iowa, Clinton only mentioned Sanders twice Saturday. In comparison, 71 percent of voters viewed Clinton favorably while 23 percent had an unfavorable opinion of her. “Probably you have not seen a Republican candidate telling you the truth…”
