Reich called Hillary Clinton “the most qualified candidate for president of the political system we now have”.

Her campaign already has sent former President Clinton to SC, which holds the next high-profile primary on February 27.
The Republican presidential candidate says there are “certain advantages” to such a declaration, but it’s not for him.
MITCHELL: Well, we’re talking about it because Bernie Sanders has made it a campaign issue and she is – he is her only opponent.
She deflected questions about whether she was considering a presidential run. But she cited the differences between Clinton and Sanders’ college affordability plans as another possible explanation for why many young voters have aligned themselves with the senator from Vermont.
Since arriving in New Hampshire after escaping with the narrowest of wins in Monday’s Iowa caucus, Clinton has alternated between tamping down expectations and trying to keep her supporters buoyed.
She’ll probably point out that Sanders is from next-door Vermont, and candidates such as Edmund Muskie, Michael Dukakis, Paul Tsongas, John Kerry and Howard Dean – all from states bordering New Hampshire – finished first or second in the New Hampshire primary. The former secretary of state claimed a razor-thin victory in Iowa earlier in the week but is guarding against a blowout that might reset the race for the Democratic nomination. “Look, we don’t want that crap”. Deutsche Bank, which paid Clinton $475,000 for addresses in NY and Washington, declined to comment, as did Goldman Sachs. Almost a quarter of Democrats and two-fifths of independents say they are still not that familiar with Sanders. Introducing the show’s musical guest, David asked Sanders how things were going in New Hampshire.
The Iowa Caucuses allocated 23 delegates to Clinton and 21 to Sanders.
Sanders was to campaign in New Hampshire on Sunday following his cameo appearance on “Saturday Night Live”. And at the town hall here on Saturday, the young man who got the first question went right to the heart of one the reasons why.
“It’s time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out”, she said. She added: “I will fight for you in Flint no matter how long it takes”. “Sanders with a big lead here and suggest that’s a fact and suggested that I should just look past New Hampshire and focus on the next state”, she said.
Clinton acknowledges she has work to do if she’s going to bring over voters from the Sanders camp.
Clinton said the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans happened under a “fog of war” and people on the ground had worked hard to understand what was happening as the attacks unfolded.

Sanders said these were not radical ideas. Another poll this week from Public Policy Polling showed that Clinton still lead the race with support of 53 percent of voters to Sanders’ 32 percent. I mean, we’ve heard this e-mail drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
