Clinton also criticized Bernie Sanders for wanting to change the Affordable Care Act.

The latest poll of 1,236 likely voters was conducted between February 8 and 10, around the same time Sanders destroyed Clinton in the New Hampshire primary by 22 points. But, as Clinton takes her message beyond the two early voting states, she’s giving yet another strategy a shot – now casting her opponent as a Marco Rubio-esque robot who can only engage on one-issue, and as anti-President Obama.
“Last I heard, a United States senator had the right to disagree with the president, including a president who has done such an extraordinary job”, Mr Sanders said in Thursday night’s debate.
In preparation for South Carolina’s February 27 Democratic primary, Clinton has increasingly been highlighting her ties to Obama.
And on Saturday, she kept up the pressure at a union rally in Henderson, Nevada, saying the Sanders health plan would “cost an enormous amount in taxes for every single American”. She’s hoping for a win among Nevada’s more diverse electorate after a narrow win in Iowa and a loss in New Hampshire. “Senator Sanders, my question to you is: What would you do if you had the opportunity to fix the system?”
He also asserted that race relations would be better under a Sanders administration than they had been under Mr. Obama, the nation’s first black president.
As primary day nears in SC, where President Barack Obama remains popular with the state’s large African-American population, Hillary Clinton is stepping up her criticism of Sen.
Right To Rise USA, the super political action committee backing Mr Bush, released an attack ad blasting Mr Trump for supporting partial-birth abortion, allegedly defrauding students of Trump University and trying “to seize private property to line his own pockets”.
“The vote is powerful, it is precious, it is the most powerful nonviolent tool in the democratic society and we must use it”, Lewis added.
The racial breakdowns in the first two states are based on small sample sizes – more than 90 percent of voters in each state were white – but they mark a massive warning sign for the Clinton campaign which has banked on black and Hispanic Democrats as a bulwark against Sanders’s popularity with young white voters.
“Now that (Sanders) is seen as a top-tier contender, we’ll find that candidate Clinton has hit her high watermark”, Jealous predicated in a radio interview.

Clinton’s campaign published a video on Saturday that goes to that point. “We need someone with real ideas and policies and vision that are going to help us in our community and I think Bernie is the man to do it”. “I was not that candidate”, Sanders retorted.
