“Senator Sanders and I share numerous same goals, but we have different records and different ideas about how to drive progress”, Clinton said during a tour of Iowa college campuses, where she painted Sanders as too impractical to be president. “There are probably some people that are saying, ‘Jesus Christ, not again'”.

Less than three weeks from the first cast ballots of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary, Bernie Sanders is leading Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton in the state, according to a new poll.
He will need to establish new alliances with black and Latino voters who overwhelmingly back Clinton, particularly in the South. This will possibly be the most hard part of the primary, and Sanders has recently been working to try to crack the “firewall” in Clinton’s southern support. He’s been in Congress. He’s been elected to office a lot longer than I have. From health care to foreign policy, Clinton repeatedly referenced Sanders by name and questioned whether his ideas could ever become reality.
While the national Democratic front-runner has made gun control prominent in debates and interviews, she’s only pressing the point on broadcast TV in New Hampshire.
“It can sound like he hasn’t really thought it through”, says Clinton. Yes, it appears that Hillary Clinton has broken a litany of laws and very serious ones at that.
Hillary has said previously she would “work for every vote” while campaigning.
Clinton’s campaign sees foreign policy as an area where the former secretary of state has a big advantage over Sanders.
The tone was surprising to many in the audience, including some of Clinton’s aides who were taken by their candidate’s candor about her personal struggles. She leads Cruz 47 percent to 41 percent.
Clinton also won the endorsement Saturday of The Des Moines Register, a prominent Iowa newspaper that also backed her in 2008.
Similar to polls over the past several months, a sizable majority of Democrats, 71%, say they are not bothered by her use of a private email server while she was secretary of State.
At first, the Granite State was firmly Clinton Country.
Dan Reeder, a professor from Oklahoma who drove 8 hours to catch Clinton’s event, said he, too, was struck by her tone. Especially on healthcare. “You know, it’s kinda like we’re in a vigorous agreement – but we’re not exactly seeing eye-to-eye”, said Hillary Clinton, (D) Presidential Candidate. She also ran through some of the suggestions she’s received for what the former president’s title might be if they returned to the White House in 2017.

“We can’t rush into normalizing relations”, she said.
