A 34 percent plurality of voters said whether a candidate is honest and trustworthy mattered most to them – and among those voters, Sanders thumped Clinton 91 percent to 5 percent. The volunteers say they’re partly motivated by issues, and partly by the potential transformative power of the two contenders. The rally started a heated debate within the movement about their tactics, according to Al Jazeera, and prompted the Vermont senator to release a detailed proposal for addressing racial justice. The key audience is now minority voters influential in upcoming contests in SC and Nevada.

On Wednesday, CNN political commentator Errol Louis said Sharpton was “a good friend to have” in what is shaping up to be a protracted primary fight. Overall, the average contribution has amounted to about $27 – a point Sanders makes at every campaign appearance. On a conference call organized by the Clinton campaign, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries blasted Bernie Sanders record on African American issues.

If the cliché is that winning candidates campaign in poetry and govern in prose, Clinton seems incapable of making a rhyme. “She understands the hard truths about systemic inequality that still exists in too many of our cities, which is why she’ll never stop fighting for more investments in education, health care and job opportunities”.
“Absolutely”, said financial planner Jerry Lynn.
“Look, I know he’s going to be out there defending his wife; trust me, my wife will be out there defending me”, Sanders said.
Bill Bartmann, a prominent Democratic donor, is also concerned about the prospect of Mr. Sanders’ chances in the general election if he should win the nomination, and wrote in an email to dozens of those close to Mr. Biden last week urging them to stay uncommitted this cycle given the possibility of a late entrance into the race.
