As you remember from day one, I said, let’s have more debates.

Meanwhile, Sanders released his medical history Thursday – something he had vowed to do before Iowa’s leadoff caucus. Should Sanders win Iowa, where he’s in a tight race with Clinton, his campaign believes he can erode her Southern advantage enough to keep the competition fierce well into March. Actors Susan Sarandon and Justin Long are appearing at Sanders rallies in Iowa ahead of the February 1 caucus.
“Given that Clinton is behind double digits in New Hampshire and there are growing signs of weakness in her so-called ‘southern firewall, ‘ it’s clear anything but a resounding win in Iowa will be a loss for her campaign”. More recently, Justin Bamberg, the African-American lawyer for the family of Walter Scott, who was killed by a white police officer last April, switched his support from Clinton to Sanders.
Sanders has said that unlike Clinton, he’s not accepting campaign contributions from investment banks, hedge funds, and pharmaceutical companies.
The billionaire former mayor reportedly saw an opening if Trump or Cruz were the Republican nominee and if the Democratic nominee were also someone he saw as a flawed candidate.
Clinton’s campaign has accused Sanders of breaking his pledge not to run negative advertising. “It’s a cynical political ploy”. “We have consistently worked with our campaigns to ensure a schedule that is robust and that allows them to engage with voters in a variety of ways, whether through debates, forums, town halls, but also leaving them the flexibility to attend county fairs and living room conversations in states like Iowa and New Hampshire where direct voter contact matters so much”. “If the turnout is not large, we’re going to be struggling”, he told staffers in Des Moines.
Hillary Clinton holds an edge over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential race among likely Democratic caucusgoers, according to a new Iowa poll.
The letter lists previous medical conditions Sanders has sought treatment for, including gout, “mild” levels of high cholesterol and acid reflux-related laryngitis.
“You are in overall very good health”, Dr. Brian P. Monahan wrote in a letter to Sanders dated January 20.

Bernie Sanders, if elected, will become the oldest president the United States has ever chosen.
Hillary Clinton has a lot of celebrity pals on her side, like actress Lena Dunham and singers Katy Perry and Demi Lovato, the latter of whom belted out hits at a campaign concert at the University of Iowa.
“You are in overall very good health and active in your professional work, and recreational lifestyle without limitation”, Monahan wrote.

But Sanders’ campaign said nothing has changed since Wednesday, when Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ press secretary, issued a statement saying that Sanders was 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”.
