Hillary Clinton campaign deploys husband, Bill, very carefully

If he is driven to the dog house by one of their frequent marital spats – and Hillary Clinton is not likely to be forgiving if he costs her votes – she could be cut off from advice that would save her.

Most Clinton advisers and allies speak on condition of anonymity to candidly assess her vulnerabilities and the Clintons’ outlook on the race.

“We have made tremendous gains in Iowa, but if we lost because Hillary Clinton’s campaign scared voters into thinking Bernie’s plan would cost them their coverage, it could set our vision for universal healthcare back at least a generation”, campaign manager Jeff Weaver said in a fundraising email Friday.

Clinton reveals that she likes to “be able to fast forward” through the Republican debates and that her husband holds a “running commentary” while they’re watching.

This was Sanders’s position as far back as 1993 when newly-elected President Bill Clinton put First Lady Hillary Clinton in charge of reforming our disheveled and unjust health care system. Besides, it’s also unclear why the Clinton camp would want to say anything this week that might steal attention from the current Donald Trump-Ted Cruz catfight over coded antisemitism and 9/11.

The HBCU tour kicked off at South Carolina State University Thursday night, just days before Sunday night’s presidential debate in Charleston and six weeks before South Carolina’s crucial Democratic primary in February-and the year’s first contest in the South.

Sanders has picked up momentum with his message and his passion and Democratic voters like him.

Clinton began this campaign as the prohibitive favorite to win the nomination – even more so than she was eight years ago, which she eventually lost to President Obama. In this charged political atmosphere, Clinton will work hard to avoid being categorized as the establishment candidate.

The Clinton campaign is sensitive about this narrative and concerned about Sen.

Hours before Sunday night’s Democratic debate, Sanders announced his support for legislation that would reverse a 2005 law, which he supported, that grants legal immunity to gun manufacturers.

After sputtering in most polls, the breakout star of the summer has significantly narrowed the gap in national match-ups against Hillary Clinton, expanded his lead in New Hampshire and overtaken the former secretary of state in Iowa.

Recent polls show that a lot of voters are questioning Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness and whether she does care about their problems.

He added, “Let me be very clear with you: Bernie is in excellent health”. But just like in 2008, when she faced an opponent, Obama, who could mesmerize crowds, Clinton risks being overtaken.

A separate poll conducted by the two news outlets also found both Sanders and Clinton easily beating Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, with Sanders’ 15-point advantage leading Clinton’s 10-point edge. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

“Iowa is critical for Sanders as he’s expected to win New Hampshire so if he does win there, it’s kind of a shrug”, said Hagle.
