Although Clinton did not explicitly say that Democrats will likely remain the minority party in Congress for years to come, she did remind viewers that Republicans are likely to remain a major obstacle that a Democratic president will have to reckon with.
Although about 55 percent of the number of people surveyed said that Clinton will be better equipped to handle issues of national security and the threat posed by fundamentalist group Islamic State, only a fraction – 13 percent- said foreign policy and national security are more important issues.
“I think we’re tapping into the idealism of the young people and we’re tapping into the economic reality that all things being equal, unless we change things, they’re going to have a lower standard of living than their parents”, said Sanders. That poll was taken when Vice President Joe Biden was still considering whether to make a third attempt to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Bernie Sanders has opened up an astonishing lead over fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, according to a new CNN/WMUR poll.
“Our next president can’t shy away from building on the progress of President Obama, which is why Hillary Clinton is the candidate that we need in the White House”, Holder said in the statement.
Sanders responds that Clinton “is very disingenuous” and that “I am in an excellent position” to push for gun control.

Sanders’s political “revolution” has kept Clinton on her toes.

But the loyal Democrats I spoke with also wished there was more passion in Clinton’s appeal to go along with the pragmatism. “We’ve accomplished so much already”. “She has the experience and right judgment to deliver results for families across the country”.
