After suffering a crushing loss in the New Hampshire primary last week, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is trying to downgrade the candidate’s expectations when it comes to the upcoming caucus in Nevada. The Ohio Democratic Party says Clinton and Sanders will speak at a fundraiser in Columbus the weekend before the polls close.

This web buy is a fraction of what the Ending Spending Action Fund poured into Iowa – $800,000 on an ad that branded Sanders as “too liberal” in all the ways Democratic voters liked.
“This ongoing (foreclosure) crisis makes reaching potential voters more hard”, Sanders’ campaign said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
“We are definitely doing the phone banking. Would that make it automatically going to happen that people will be able to get the jobs they deserve, the housing the need, the education their children should have?”
Local Sanders supporters opened this space in early January, said volunteer coordinator Steve Holecko. “Essentially, we are in this together”.
He also spoke about the number of people in American prisons, saying “we can not as a nation turn our back on the reality that we have more people in jail today” – punctuated by an “amen”, the Las Vegas Sun reported – “than any other country on Earth”.
Sanders was reacting to reports that the DNC has quietly reversed the long-standing ban on donations from lobbyists and political action committees, put in place by Barack Obama when he became the party’s nominee in 2008.
“My opponents say, ‘Now Bernie, you’re Santa Claus giving out all this free stuff”.
“I am the only candidate who will take on every barrier to progress”.
Sanders, after talking about the “real unemployment rate” and “greed”, localized his overtures to Obama by noting the way the 2008 recession decimated Nevada’s housing and employment market. “But if you are an executive on Wall Street who reaches a settlement for $5 billion for illegal behavior, you don’t get a police record, you get a pay raise”.
“Some of my Republican colleagues in the Senate have a very interesting view of the Constitution of the United States”, Sanders added.
Pastor Robert E. Fowler thanked both the candidate for coming, noting that he was “encouraged by the fact that they are willing to sit in the same church, same service, same time”. Clinton rhetorically asked the crowd.
The former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State is planning a campaign stop in Houston Saturday-10 days ahead of the Texas Primary. “I was chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963 to 1966”, Lewis said. Likewise, Democrats responded by arguing the President has the authority and the right to nominate a justice, even if the opening happens in his a year ago in office.
Sanders and Clinton walked away from the Iowa caucuses virtually tied, and Sanders defeated Clinton by an impressive 22 points in New Hampshire.
But surprise! Sanders wants a political revolution.

While Sanders appears to be connecting with a growing number of young African-Americans, he hasn’t clicked with the old guard.
