When Democratic likely caucus goers were asked which candidate would do the best job handling the economy, Clinton earned 48% of the vote to Sanders’s 47%.

Mr Sanders overwhelmingly won the New Hampshire primary, the second contest to determine the nomination, and effectively tied with Ms Clinton in the Iowa Caucuses, the first round of voting. “We’re outlining where the senator stands on immigration”, said Cesar Vargas, the national Latino outreach strategist for the Sanders campaign. “I’ll do all the worrying, is that a deal?” But Clinton has the upper hand in the upcoming Southern states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. President Barack Obama’s executive action to protect those brought to the United States as children does not necessarily cover their parents. But New Hampshire has eight superdelegates – also known as unpledged delegates – and six of these unelected party elites pledged support for Clinton.
Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are frustrated by the support his rival is getting from the party establishment, and some are taking it out on the superdelegates. Everything the President does is wonderful.
But even if he isn’t drawing the same level of support among women in Nevada, Sanders is topping another important demographic: young voters.
He then took a swipe at Obama. Clinton calls her up to sit on her lap, and she consoles her. “I’m going to do everything I can so you don’t have to be scared”, Clinton says, tearing up herself. “Please just release those transcripts so that we know exactly where you stand”. “Like any other human being, he is wrong on certain issues”.
When asked about the 3-and-10-year bars, which prohibit immigrants who have applied for a green card from becoming permanent USA residents, Clinton said she plans to address the issue on a separate piece of legislation and as part of comprehensive immigration reform which would eliminate it entirely. Clinton said this was a state by state decision but said she was happy that states have moved in the direction of granting licenses. Maybe it’s because Sen.
Both Democratic candidates faced questions about their past record on immigration.
SC will be the first state where African-Americans dominate the primary, though.
Sanders also suggested Republican opposition to Obama is motivated by racism. Kellyanne Conway, a Republican strategist working with the super PAC, says the activity is aimed at protecting Cruz, a Texas senator, whom she says is being “maligned by mushy moderates”.
Conventional wisdom would tell us Sanders is really, really popular in his home state.
“I just don’t know where all this comes from”, she said, at a televised town hall meeting hosted by MSNBC in Las Vegas on Thursday night. “I could support either one of them. I understand that it is unacceptable that 35% of black children in America are living in poverty”, Sanders said. To be sure, Sanders’ minimum wage proposal is $15 per hour, higher than Clinton’s $12-per-hour plan. The South Carolina Poll of Polls includes four polls conducted in that same period.

Sanders earlier Thursday said former President Bill Clinton had led the effort to deregulate Wall Street in the 1990s, pushed for the North American Free Trade Agreement and pushed for welfare reform.
