White House hopeful Bernie Sanders raised a staggering $5 million in the 18 hours since winning New Hampshire’s primary, his campaign announced Wednesday, further evidence he can mount a protracted Democratic nomination battle against Hillary Clinton.

But there may be a hitch.
It has been widely reported that Team Clinton wants to re-create the Obama coalition from 2008.
“As we move toward SC and Nevada, two diverse states relative to New Hampshire and Iowa”, Jeffries said, “we understand that issues significant to communities of color will be discussed and debated”. Voting for a candidate primarily on the basis of gender is wrong, but to criticize young women who overlook gender in politics in favor of critical policy consideration is a much worse offense. He told NPR he was undecided.
House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford said he is backing Clinton. Trump said Bill Clinton’s behavior was fair game, and alluded to Hillary Clinton’s role as enabler of it. “I think he is maintaining that tradition of not intervening in a party primary”. If you are a Democrat, call, email, or write your state’s superdelegates asking them to support your chosen candidate.
The only groups won by Mrs Clinton were people aged over 65 and those earning over $200,000 a year.
But for Sanders’ supporters, there’s an unstated twist. “Consistency is key for me”, Tolbert said.
The former secretary of state lost New Hampshire’s Democratic primary Tuesday 60 to 38 percent after losing the support of groups she was counting on.
“I didn’t vote for Bernie because I was looking for men”, said Nancy Boyland, 61, of Durham, referring to Steinem’s comment that young Sanders supporters were there because “that’s where the boys are”. And she even made him an Honorary Woman. “I don’t know…. Maybe he’s a fresh face”.
Though both have argued their quotes were taken out of context, not only are such remarks hurtful to Clinton’s campaign, they also are detrimental to this generation’s feminism.

The campaign dispatched Bill Clinton to Memphis and Chelsea Clinton to Flint, Michigan.
On Sunday, she said she would release the transcripts if everyone who had ever given a paid speech did too.
There is also deep anxiety about Clinton’s message.
There were 24 delegates to be allocated out of the New Hampshire Democratic primary, based on the vote statewide and by congressional district.
It turns out the Clinton campaign’s fears were right.
Her campaign has denied reports that Clinton is considering a shakeup of her staff, but aides acknowledged that adding new staff was a possibility. In the call, those surrogates said Sanders has been absent on issues affecting black America. Tying herself to the president appeals to many black SC voters.
In the southern state of SC, more than half of Democrats who voted in 2008 were black. It played up an influential state lawmaker’s endorsement in SC. “So, Bernie Sanders has to figure out how do you communicate and talk to those folks”. The mood on college campuses, he said, “is very different from what I see in the churches and the barbershops with older African-Americans”.

“We can not continue to have a government dominated by the billionaire class and a Congress that continues to work for the interest of the people on top, while ignoring working families”, he said. Many have graduated university only to be forced to return home and live with their parents in a country where most young people prefer to live independently after finishing high school.
