The fundraising bump came after he trounced Clinton 60 percent to 38 percent in New Hampshire, the second contest to determine the party standard bearer for the 2016 White House race.

Don’t be fooled about any declarations of mutual respect that have been heard before, nor by any agreement between the two that Republicans are worse than either of them. It also underscores the problem with what Clinton represents: In a year that voters are craving authenticity and a break from the political norm above all else, her almost three decades in the political limelight is a liability. “And for many of us, there is simply no credibility for the things that are now being said at the twilight of his political career”.
Expect their spat over who’s more “progressive”, – liberal – to sharpen and focus on such issues as income equality and gun policy.
“We’ve learned it’s not whether you get knocked down that matters, what matters is you get back up”, Clinton said Tuesday night after the loss in New Hampshire.
Those who don’t “feel the Bern” may instead be fearing it.
Clinton tried to recover some of those threads in her concession speech Tuesday night in New Hampshire, making an appeal to young people, women, minorities and the working poor.
“Not only are we going to fight to end institutional racism, and a broken criminal justice system, we are going to provide jobs and education for our young people, not jails and incarceration”, Sanders said. Look for her to find a way to address these points, a challenge she’s struggled to meet.
Dr. Hazel Dukes, president of the NAACP’s New York State Conference, attempted to undermine Sanders early work on civil rights, saying “thousands walked” in the historic 1963 civil rights march on Washington – a part of his biography Sanders aides say will help win minority voters.
Her campaign hinted at another message revamp in the hours after polls closed in New Hampshire. “So it’s smart politics for Clinton and Sanders to make as many friends among black political leaders as possible”, Louis wrote.
Bernie Sanders had breakfast with Reverend Al Sharpton in Harlem’s Sylvia’s Restaurant. “But I will repeat again what I have said this week: Even if they are not supporting me now, I support them”. She said she agreed with Sanders about the corrosive influence of Wall Street and big money donors. But many worry Trump is alienating voters he’ll need in a general election if he becomes the nominee. I nevertheless remain exceptionally proud of the role that my home state plays in the process through which Americans choose their country’s next president.
And former President Bill Clinton, a man affectionately known in the African American community as the nation’s “first black president”, will travel to Memphis, Tennessee on Thursday and SC on Friday, the campaign announced.
