After her speech, Clinton officially filed her paperwork as a candidate in South Carolina’s primary.
While another said: ‘Hillary is using her fake southern black accent on these poor kids in Memphis.
The Sanders campaign has been increasingly highlighting their policy differences with Clinton because they are losing.
In fact, Clinton said she would reduce taxes for working-class families. Her campaign says the tax cut will be funded through tax increases on wealthy families and by “demanding” rebates from drug manufactures. “Now, Clinton is not only leading the race for the Democratic nomination, but has a solid majority saying, ‘She’s my choice.’ She wasn’t close to that before”, Selzer added.
The Clinton campaign is also releasing two new advertisements that will start airing in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire next week. The two were tied or essentially tied on two other categories: fighting for the middle class and caring about people like you. “Well, I don’t want to see your taxes go up, I want to see your healthcare costs go down, and we can manage to do that”. The senator is in the midst of a three-day swing through SC, a state where he lags far behind Clinton in the polls, as he acknowledged.
Sanders is hitting Clinton hard with a contrast in positions. They occasionally interjected with exhortations to “tax the rich” or protestations that corporate executives are “talking all our money”.

Casting off his initial reluctance to become known as the candidate who attacks his opponents, O’Malley did not hesitate Saturday.
Clinton also focused on health care tax credits in speeches on Friday. Americans with out-of-pocket health care expenses exceeding 5 percent of their income would be eligible for the refund.
“You know the deck is rigged”, Clinton said of the tax system.
Under Sanders’ proposal, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program would be absorbed by the new single-payer system and be run by the states under federal rules.
