Bloggers “who have gone online to defend Hillary, to explain why they supported her, have been subject to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often, not to mention sexist, to repeat”, Clinton said Sunday. At the time, she said young women were supporting Bernie Sanders to meet “boys”. She did so again Sunday morning at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Manchester, N.H., where, with just two days to go before that state’s presidential primary, she stopped to say hello to voters before flying west to MI.

Clinton said she was making a “personal commitment” to help Flint in a message delivered not only to the congregants at a local Baptist church but also a more heavily-minority electorate in Southern contests that could help her build a foundation for a delegate-by-delegate drive toward the nomination. I’ve said they’re going to wreck the economy over the mortgage markets. Friday in Manchester Clinton stood on stage with New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan, four women US senators and the woman for whom an equal pay law is named, Lilly Ledbetter.
The young voters Clinton spoke to Monday are the voters she’s missing among her supporters, as many millennials have gravitated towards Sanders’ campaign.
Bill Clinton’s strongest criticism was, however, directed toward some of Sanders’ supporters nick-named “Bernie Bros”, who he alleged were using misogynistic and sexist language to attack Hillary Clinton’s supporters online. Clinton and her allies have taken $21.4 million from Wall Street for her presidential campaign so far, according to an analysis by Washington Post. She and her husband support Sanders so strongly that they changed their original March move-in date to January just so they could cast their ballots for him.
And amid her decline, reports have popped up of an imminent campaign shakeup.
“I respect the anger, the apprehension and the anxiety that so many Americans have”, said Clinton, but decried Sanders for campaign tactics that frame his wife as a Washington elite. Clinton has come under scrutiny for Sanders for the same thing.
“Let’s make sure we take care of the people of Flint, and give every child a chance to live up to her God-given potential”, Clinton said.
“There is, I think, a much greater burden on women running for political office, I wish it weren’t the case”, Clinton continued.
“It’s unfortunate that, you know, President Clinton has chose to launch a series of attacks against Sen”.
“Damn it, Bernie”, said one supporter who quickly scurried off to show his friends the news update. “The voters in New Hampshire and in America deserve a campaign that focuses on the real issues”.

“You know what? I’ll make it easier for you”, Clinton told the young girl.
