Often left unsaid by Sanders, but increasingly at the center of Hillary Clinton’s arguments against her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, is that the political reality of achieving such goals is likely to be a whole lot more complicated.

“It’s disgusting; we don’t want that crap”, he said. Most younger women don’t doubt that they will see a female president in their lifetime: they just wonder why it has to be Clinton.
Jonathan Allen of Reuters reports that former White Hosue volunteer Kathleen Willey is set to campaign against Clinton.
According to one attendee at Clinton’s October 2013 speech to Goldman Sachs executives and tech industry leaders, Clinton’s remarks then were a far cry from what she’s saying on campaign trail now.
Willey agreed to become a paid spokeswoman for a group backed by Roger Stone.
Bill Clinton, of all people, joined the fray on Sunday, accusing the Bernie Bros of “vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane-not to mention sexist-to repeat”.
Aides said Clinton was invited by Flint Mayor Karen Weaver to address the crisis of lead-poisoned water, a case that she has cited in Iowa and New Hampshire as an example of racial and economic injustice.
Still, Sanders’ ability to win over women voters – long considered Clinton’s strongest base – suggests that she could struggle to piece together a reliable coalition in upcoming states as well. It’s Hillary Clinton. Who has been fighting to make sure that there is parental leave and children’s healthcare?
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, repeating one of her most famous quotes, told young women that they should support Clinton and that “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other”.
Several people close to the campaign, particularly in Bill Clinton’s orbit and among donors, acknowledged discontent within the operation and feel the campaign was too slow to recognize and deal with the threat posed by the Vermont senator. Bernie Sanders beating Clinton among women by 8 percentage points.
And after New Hampshire?
I guess we should all blindly support Hillary because she thinks being a woman makes her different enough.
Hungry voters standing in the take-out line Super Bowl Sunday at the Puritan Backroom restaurant, known for its world-famous chicken tenders, were in for quite a surprise when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton walked in. After losing the female vote to Clinton in Iowa by 11 points, a CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll finds he now leads her 53 to 42 percent among women there.
And Clinton slammed Sanders and his backers for derisively labeling opponents as part of the “establishment” when they disagree. He described the self-professed socialist’s platform as “hermetically sealed” from reality and outrightly dishonest, referencing a mini-scandal a year ago in which the Bernie Sanders campaign took advantage of a hole in the Democratic National Committee’s voter data.

Eileen Frazier, an attorney who attended a recent rally for Sanders in MA, was even more outraged.
