Hillary Clinton at the CNN Democratic Debate at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, Tuesday, October 13, 2015. Well, first of all, you know, I adore my daughter and I know what she was saying because if you look at senator sanders’ proposals going back nine times in the congress, that’s exactly what he’s proposed.

Clinton compared her stance with Sanders on guns, health care and Wall Street.
Sanders spokesman Arianna Jones said Clinton is wrong. But a vocal group of supporters on social media, especially Reddit, mean Sanders can bypass the power of the conventional press to get his policies out there.
“Anybody who cares about real reform in our political system who cares about making a difference that will literally in this case save lives has to stand with us”, said Clinton. Sanders was leading among men, 61 percent to 30 percent, while women favored Clinton, 55 percent to 39 percent. But if the heavily favored Hillary Clinton goes 0 for 2 in the first two contests, would that create a media explosion and seriously wound her candidacy? She will join her father, former President Bill Clinton, in Iowa for a joint campaign event this weekend.
Clinton’s closest competitor, Vermont Sen. Among those who had never caucused before, 66 percent preferred Sanders and 26 percent preferred Clinton. Hillary Clinton. Tested and tough. Clinton also touted her foreign policy credentials, drawing another, more implicit, contrast with Sanders, who has made tackling economic inequality the focus of his campaign.
Clinton’s lead on Sanders has narrowed in other early voting states besides New Hampshire.
“As much as I admire Chelsea, she didn’t read the plan”, Sanders said, arguing for his Medicare-for-all program. What that ad says is that I have the experience, the toughness, the resilience to be able to take on the republicans. “I think it’s a risky deal”.

“So yes, for four years, despite a long career both in and out of public service, where I have been relentless in talking about these issues, there were four years when I did not”, Clinton said. It also is the second poll this week that shows a tight race in Iowa.
A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday shows that Sanders has widened his lead over Clinton in the New Hampshire Democratic primary by 14 points.
Sanders is now leading in the first two primary races of the election season. That was the most important issue of 35 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers, the poll said.

It is still way too early to draw even preliminary conclusions, but with the President’s swan song (his last State of the Union address) tonight and the Iowa caucuses just 20 days away, the latest Quinnipiac showing Vermont Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders “surging” in Iowa is getting a lot of attention.
