Sanders has earned a great chance of winning the Iowa caucus and Washington establishment Democrats should consider why Sanders runs so far ahead of Trump in so many match-up polls, and why Sanders runs stronger than Clinton in these match-up polls against Trump.

Both Clinton and O’Malley said they would attend if all the candidates agreed, despite risking the ire of the Democratic National Committee, which has forbidden candidates from taking part in unsanctioned encounters.
During the hourlong session, Sanders reacted heatedly to a questioner who said the Clinton campaign was concerned about out-of-state college students showing up to vote in the caucuses illegally. There’s also a prominent reference to the firm’s recent $5 billion settlement to resolve state and federal investigations into its handling of mortgage-backed securities in the years leading up to the 2008 crisis.
“How does Wall Street get away from it?”
Clinton laid out her economic plan, which she said emphasized the middle class. She promised to create more jobs, higher incomes and more spending on infrastructure, while not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.
Sanders and Clinton are running neck-and-neck in Iowa.
In a memo released by the RNC, Spicer writes that Bernie Sander’s rise is making Clinton increasingly vulnerable. The campaign proposed three additional debates, one each in March, April and May. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said the campaign reminded staffers it was inappropriate “and that they should not do it again”. Sanders is happy to have more debates but we are not going to schedule them on an ad hoc basis at the whim of the Clinton campaign.
Sanders, when asked about his clean bill of health, said in an interview Wednesday that he has “been blessed with good health”.
Sanders will turn 75 later this year, so if he wins, he would be the oldest president ever elected. “That’s where Hillary Clinton lost me, because there was plenty of information that even I had that said there was a real problem with the logic involved”, she said.

Michael Briggs, Sanders’ communications director, told ABC News in a statement that the campaign planned “all along” to release medical information from his physician before the primaries and caucuses.
