“I haven’t just talked, I haven’t just given speeches”, said Clinton.

The statement was prompted by Clinton earlier Monday accusing Sanders of engaging in the same behavior for which he has repeatedly criticized her: taking donations from Wall Street. “I think you’ll see that begin to change as folks start to tune in as we head into the Super Tuesday states…That support will begin to shrink”. Bernie Sanders is having on many young voters in his unconventional campaign for the Democratic nomination, she suggested that young women might be attracted to his campaign because it was, essentially, a high-class dating service.
Reeling from the revelations about Clinton’s speaking fees from Goldman Sachs and other large financial institutions, her campaign has lashed out at Sanders with allegations of double standards, dishonesty and sexism.
The former president appeared angry as he poured scorn on his wife’s opponent, portraying the Sanders campaign as dishonest and his healthcare proposals as unrealistic.
Clinton has recently made the crisis in Flint a top issue of her campaign.
“I don’t have any insight into her position on this”, Hillary told Newscenter 5’s political reporter Janet Wu about Warren’s endorsement. When former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright introduced Hillary Clinton on Sunday, she repeated a line she’s often used before, but this time it had a particular bite to it given the fight between Sanders and Clinton.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, played the good cop to her husband’s bad cop.
Sanders was to campaign in New Hampshire on Sunday following his cameo appearance on “Saturday Night Live”.
As she makes the final rounds in the New Hampshire campaign to reassure supporters, she seeks to show that she is not the untrustworthy politician portrayed by her enemies. “We’re going to take stock but it’s going to be the campaign that I’ve got”. Mr. Sanders remains 12 points ahead of Mrs. Clinton in New Hampshire, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics average of all polls.
She mentioned a blog post a friend sent to her about a Sanders supporter who likes the Vermont senator because he yells a lot and has messy hair. Now none other than Bill Clinton himself has attempted this feint, which is hilarious considering his personal treatment of women. The implication, we suppose, is that people with two X chromosomes must vote for Hillary Clinton, or risk hellfire and damnation.

After the event, Bill Clinton told CNN he stood by his comments, but was surprised by them garnering negative attention because “all I did was take it straight out of press reports”.
