“I’m going to campaign in Tennessee to try and turn it blue in November 2016”, she said.
“I will not deny that if the election were held today, we would lose”, he said.
“We have our work cut out for us here in SC, but when I began this campaign, I would bet that 80-90% of the people in SC didn’t even know who Bernie Sanders was”, he said, referring to himself in the third person. Clinton’s stance highlights her focus on preserving President Obama’s health-care legacy, while Sanders has offered a proposal that seeks to make good on his promise of bringing a “political revolution”.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Sunday is expected to propose a new tax cut for millions of middle-class families caring for ailing parents and grandparents.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will on Sunday propose a tax credit offsetting up to $6,000 in costs associated with caring for elderly and disabled family members, and allowing caregivers to accrue Social Security retirement benefits for such work.

Sanders also backs a bill pending in Congress that would mandate employers provide paid family leave time after a child is born. Clinton says there needs to be more financial support for people who are caregivers to elderly family members or people with disabilities.
Brenda Jenkins, a volunteer at Royal Missionary Baptist church, said she thought Sanders was “warmly received” at her church, and that she liked “everything he promised to do for America”.
Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, meanwhile, broadly escalated his rhetoric against his Democratic opponents. At a time when liberals are ascendant in the party, many Democrats believe her merely having “represented Wall Street as a senator from NY”, as Clinton reminded viewers in an October debate, is bad enough.
