McCaskill added: “I think the contrast is going to have to be drawn so people understand that Hillary Clinton is the only person running for president that is really qualified to lead in a stable and pragmatic fashion on the issues facing our country”.

The new New York Times/CBS News national poll shows Clinton as a significantly diminished front-runner and Sanders as the surging insurgent.
“But something extraordinary is happening here; there is a full-on rebellion at the grassroots level of the Democratic Party”, he said. Bernie Sanders among black voters.
When asked whether her increased attacks on Sanders are because she is feeling nervous, Clinton laughed.
Sanders has spent months framing Clinton as a typical politician, arguing that she has switched her views on issues like trade, gay marriage and the war in Iraq for political gain.
“The Clintons are starting to do stuff that’s stoking this rebellion”.
Here’s a surprise – or maybe not so much: MoveOn, one of the nation’s largest and most influential grassroots groups – the Democratic action committee most responsible for mobilizing Barack Obama’s hugely successful Internet fundraising campaign through its MoveOn.org website in 2008 – will back Bernie Sanders in 2016, not Hillary Clinton. Polls in the predominantly white early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire show the candidates neck-to-neck, with some even projecting Sanders as having an edge over Clinton.
“It makes no sense to me to have an immigration bill, which over a period of years, would bring millions of “guest workers” into this country who are prepared to work for lower wages”, said Sanders in a June 2007 statement. I have a plan and implementing it in Iowa and New Hampshire and feel good about it and now it’s two plus weeks until we know.
Many Americans still know very little about some of the major candidates.
Sanders then moved to discuss an upcoming ad from his campaign on expanding Social Security and “lifting the cap on taxable income”. “As a result, Clinton’s lead over Sanders, which had been 18 points, is now just four points”. “The Clinton campaign is wrong”.
He also wants to tackle pharmaceutical companies who have been accused by doctors of letting patients die for the sake of profit and donated more money to Clinton’s campaign than any other candidate from either party. The latest Quinnipac poll found that Sanders now leads Clinton by 5 percent in the earliest primary state, whose caucus is on February 1.
Support for her chief rival, Bernie Sanders, rose six points to 39 percent. “Clinton support also tumbled among suburban voters, dropping to 39 percent from last a month’s 50 percent”.
“Secretary Clinton absolutely respects Democrats who support the principles of a single-payer system”, Sullivan said.

The CBS/NYT survey of 389 Democratic primary voters was conducted January 7th through 10th and has a margin of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points. “It wasn’t an honest attack”, he said during an interview on CNN. And she has lost backing among moderate Democrats, falling to 44 percent from 58 percent.
