The Clinton campaign is looking to close the gap in the vote as much as possible. What Secretary Clinton’s campaign does not understand is that putting her on Ellen to do the “dab” or the “Nae Nae” is not going to make her more likable with younger voters. At a rally in New Hampshire on Sunday, Bill mocked Bernie Sanders’s desire for “revolution” and accused Sanders supporters of sexism.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton listens to an audience members question during A democratic primary town hall sponsored by CNN, Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2016, in Derry, N.H.
One of the respondents said that she did not like how Clinton assumed that her feminism was identical to the feminism of all women.
The excitement that the Sanders campaign is generating on New Hampshire campuses reflects his popularity among young voters in general.
But students in New Hampshire say that integrity and cutting through “Wall Street greed” are bigger issues than gender alone. But the national media attention that followed what Sanders described as a “virtual tie” appeared to bolster the Vermont’s senator’s momentum heading into the New Hampshire primary – at least with Democratic voters nationally, if not voters in New Hampshire. A moment in a Portsmouth cafe when Clinton’s eyes welled up and she became emotional was widely credited with bringing female voters back into the fold and helping her win the state after losing Iowa to then-Illinois Sen.
For some of the many still-undecided voters, particularly older and middle aged women, that message could have sway. In the most-liked comment under Steinem’s apology post, a woman wrote, “You’re one of my heroes, Gloria, and to hear that you quite plainly stated “the boys are with Bernie” in response to why young women are voting for Bernie Sanders was not only a sexist statement, but extremely disheartening”. “We’re going to take stock but it’s going to be the campaign that I’ve got”.
Sanders disavowing such tactics; “Anybody who is supporting me, that is doing sexist things is, we don’t want them”. “If we can stand together, we can bring change”.
“I went to events, but did I go and ask financial people for money?”
Clinton is trailing in the polls in New Hampshire, behind Democrat and socialist Sanders.
Bill Clinton’s Sunday riff earned comparisons to 2008, when Hillary Clinton faced off against another insurgent challenger – President Barack Obama. She later met with a group of mostly government officials to thank them and discuss solutions.
