Sanders, speaking at a televised town hall in Derry, New Hampshire, built on an earlier back-and-forth between the two candidates on Twitter and in appearances in the state, which hosts the next party nominating-contest on February 9.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sit down with CNN and a live audience Wednesday evening-here’s how to watch live.
“What have you learned since that vote that could give me confidence that you wouldn’t make a mistake of that magnitude again?” she said.
Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver mocked Clinton in a statement, asking, “Why does the Clinton campaign object to a debate in New York City?” Sanders, riding his high favorability in a state that borders his stomping ground of Vermont, has a strong advantage, leading Clinton 55% to 37% in the latest CNN Poll of Polls.

“I’m particularly concerned about communities that are being left behind, that haven’t recovered from the loss of industry jobs”, said Clinton.
New Hampshire’s sizable contingent of independent voters – who are allowed to vote in either the Democratic or Republican primaries – will wield considerable power in the 2016 race. But as much as Sanders doesn’t like the Republican’s agenda, the senator said he would delight in taking him on in November.
“I think it’s going to be a tight election”.
“‘We’ll take one term at a time”, he said, adding, “I am, thank God, in good health, and one can’t predict the future…I’ve had good endurance and good strength my whole life”.

“I am not going to say longshot”, Shumaker said of Clinton’s bid in New Hampshire, “but (it) is certainly uphill”.
