Sanders “can get out these new voters, it’s a game changer”. One of them is his record on guns, including granting gun manufacturers legal immunity, and the poll shows more of the party’s voters identify with her, at 44%, than with Sanders, who has 30% support.

Brock characterized the ad as a “significant slight to the Democratic base”. “His campaign, as well as that of Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side – both populist movements, [with] many parallels between them”.
Sixty percent of likely voters think the former secretary of state would win come November, compared to 27 percent for Sanders.
“Twenty-five years ago it was Brock-a mud-slinging, right-wing extremist-who tried to destroy Anita Hill, a distinguished African-American law professor”.
Clinton is in the midst of a campaign swing through Iowa today, where she’s been escalating her attacks on Sanders.
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ poll numbers have been ratcheting upwards in recent weeks, to the point where pundits are now seriously speaking about the possibility of the Vermont senator, a self-proclaimed socialist, beating Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
Many, though, aren’t quite in her camp just yet. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here in support of [Clinton]”, Lovato told the audience while introducing Clinton after her performance. The Clinton camp hit that one fast, as did Planned Parenthood and Emily’s List, both of whom have sent out statements saying they’re disappointed in how Sanders talks about issues like abortion. The Democrats are, therefore, not much concerned about her candidacy, given the two States of lowa and New Hampshire going to polls on February 1 and February 9 respectively.
Perhaps more troubling for Clinton, though, is the fact that Sanders leads her by 19 points on the question of which candidate best represents the “values of Democrats like yourself”. “It is worse that she would hire a mudslinger like David Brock”, Briggs said.
“I just want to say thank you”, Clinton said at the opening of her appearance.
