The appearances netted her $21.7 million – and voters very little information about what she was telling top corporations as she prepared for her 2016 campaign.

Hillary Clinton dominates the Sunday morning talk shows this week as polls show her gaining on Bernie Sanders in Tuesday’s New Hampshire presidential primary.
Clinton’s campaign is also looking past New Hampshire.
Fifty-six percent of participants had an unfavourable view of Clinton, compared to 39% who viewed her favourably. “I’m a progressive who gets results” she reiterated this more often. “When we began this campaign here in New Hampshire, we were 30 points down in the polls and she was much better known in this state than I was”.
Meanwhile, Sanders called on New Hampshire voters to join his “political revolution”, saying it’s the only way America can achieve the change that working families and the middle class desire. Sanders is expected to score a win, possibly in the double-digits, as a lawmaker from a neighboring state.
The poll also further undercuts the Clinton camp’s assertion that Clinton would be far more electable than Sanders in the general election, and that a Sanders’ candidacy would jeopardize the Democrats’ hold on the White House and preservation of much of the Obama administration legacy. In an expression of confidence that she will ultimately prevail, Clinton vowed to call Sanders as soon as she captures the nomination. “So it’s an issue in this campaign, and it was an issue that she responded to, and most people think very effectively, in the debate”.
Clinton said the “fog of war” was to blame for the confusion in the days after the attack. Sanders and Clinton tussled aggressively in their first one-on-one debate Thursday, their last before the primary, with Clinton accusing the Vermont independent of an “artful smear” for suggesting her speaking fees and donations from Wall Street firms bound her to corporate interests.
Both Republican and Democratic parties will formally name their presidential candidates at conventions in July. Before New Hampshire votes, the Republicans planned one last debate showdown on Saturday.
While Sanders is laser-focused on income inequality and the behavior of the financial sector, Clinton has struggled to define what her campaign is about at its core.
“I’ve got their number on all that”, she said of “the Wall Street guys”. Dean said. “I don’t hear anybody asking Bernie Sanders for his transcripts for some speech he made with a labor union”.
“I never sent or received any classified material”, she said.

“This has been a state that has really tried to judge people on their abilities, on their experience, on what they can contribute”, she said.
