Until recently it seemed like Hillary Clinton had learned a lesson from the 2008 presidential campaign-she hasn’t shied away from women’s issues and is explicitly embracing the historical importance of potentially becoming the first woman president of the United States. But there is a very real possibility that a loss or a tie in New Hampshire could severely cut into Clinton’s donations, see a reduction in backers and endorsements, and may demoralize a candidate who has seen this movie before and didn’t enjoy the ending. At this point, Clinton would probably be willing to hold a rally with Dean Strang and Jerry Buting to free Steven Avery if she saw polls that showed it would win her votes.
An angry Bill Clinton bashed Sanders’ supporters Sunday for “vicious trolling” and attacks that are “too profane” and “sexist” to repeat.
“We spend $80 billion a year locking people up”, he added.

To counter Sanders’ momentum, Hillary Clinton has put her husband on attack dog duty. “I respect all the work she’s done as well as the experience she has”, Fagan said. “I’m getting chills just thinking about it. We connected, one on one, for five, six, seven seconds, and look how powerful that was”. But just 11 percent of women and men aged 17 to 24 and 17 percent of those aged 25 to 29 caucused for her, according to an NBC News exit poll.
