Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t run a very good presidential campaign in 2008 when she was soundly defeated by then Senator Barack Obama and now history may be repeating.

“Clinton’s lead is evaporating in Iowa we understand why her campaign is panicking and saying absurd things”, Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs said in a statement. “And that gets us to the choice that you have to make in this caucus”.
The self-described democratic socialist fared better among Democrats on economic policy and support for the middle class. They preferred the former secretary of state on foreign policy.
“Her diehard supporters are feeling confident, but inside the campaign there is concern as much that she could lose to Sanders in Iowa and/or New Hampshire as what a long protracted, costly battle with Sanders could mean throughout the spring”.
“I think everyone’s just sick of squabbling”, he said.
Clinton’s campaign held a conference call with reporters Thursday to “question” Sanders plans for taking on the terrorist group ISIS and dealing with Iran, with whom the U.S. and other world powers brokered a landmark nuclear deal a year ago.
It was a consistent message for the candidate, who attacked Sanders in a speech earlier Thursday and released a video through her campaign that afternoon criticizing his proposal.
A last minute town hall-style debate will pit Hillary Clinton against her leading Democratic rival Senator Bernie Sanders.
“We’re getting down to that part of the election where people are making up their minds”, said Clinton. “A president has to deliver in reality”, Clinton said.
“That would be like inviting one of the arsonists to join the firefighters”, Sullivan said.
Clinton and Sanders were shadowing each other across eastern Iowa on Saturday, holding events in the same areas within hours of each other. And in New Hampshire, he is beating Clinton by 27 percentage points among primary voters, according to Business Insider, so anything less than a win there will likely be disappointing. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here in support of [Clinton]”, Lovato told the audience while introducing Clinton after her performance. “I don’t think the American public overall thinks they need to get everything their way”. “He is just so new”, she said of Sanders.
The prospect of losing the first two nominating contests could deal a major blow to Clinton’s candidacy.

In a Democratic primary that appears to be tightening, Clinton has sieged on her experience as someone who has a deep understanding of the nuances of foreign policy from her time as the country’s top diplomat.
