Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders took time out from his campaigning in Iowa for next week’s caucuses with stops in Duluth and St. Paul on Tuesday.

U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison is the most prominent Minnesotan to endorse Sanders, whose long-shot candidacy has resonated with more liberal-leaning Democratic voters in Minnesota and around the country. Targeting the “wealthiest Americans” to pay their “fair share” was a tactic Barack Obama employed in his successful 2008 campaign for president.
Overall, Sanders led Clinton 49 percent to 45 percent, with O’Malley at 4 percent, the poll found.
So far, with more than a month to go, opinion polls put Clinton ahead in Minnesota, one of several states that will hold caucuses or primaries on March 1 – “Super Tuesday”. “If she loses both Iowa and New Hampshire, and if she loses New Hampshire by a big margin, I think she’ll be limping”.
Highlighting differences between the candidates, Cuomo asked Sanders about a Clinton campaign ad, touting her broad experience, including on foreign policy, and he responded that he is just as capable in this regard.
Republicans aren’t the only ones who want to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
For decades, Larry Sanders has been living in Oxford in relative anonymity.
Sanders would “move as aggressively as we can to normalize relations with Iran”. According to an analysis of the plan prepared for the Sanders campaign by a University of Massachusetts-Amherst economist, a family earning $50,000 a year would save an estimated $5,807 in health costs each year, savings that would otherwise have been spent on private insurance premiums and deductibles.
Rukavina said Sanders’ call to end the exemption on Social Security taxes on incomes over $110,000 would strengthen the program immensely. Time spent trying to force universal health care through a reluctant Congress – and pissing them off in the process – will mean fewer people insured than if Sanders simply focused on closing the Medicaid gap. “He can’t be bought”, said one, referring to Sanders’ refusal to take Political Action Committee money and instead relying on small donations from millions of people. Bernie Sanders of Vermont was refreshingly honest or hopelessly naive when he flatly admitted he would raise taxes while speaking at a CNN-moderated town hall forum. “And by the way I’m the one who is not the multi-billionaire”. They might bore most civilized people to tears, but debates about closing the Medicaid gap created by Republican governors’ refusal to cooperate with the Affordable Care Act are important because without health care coverage, people die. “This thing will be won by you”, Ellison said.

Those areas in which a Democratic Executive branch has no power are those in which Sanders demands aggressive action, and the areas in which the Executive branch still has power now are precisely those in which Sanders has the least to say. He said he wanted to bring the sign because Sanders reminds him of Wellstone, calling them “two peas in a pod”. A White House spokeswoman suggested no photos are expected.
