Hillary Clintons campaign is preparing to ramp up operations in New Hampshire to halt Bernie Sanders advance and rescue a lead in a state so many Democrats had thought would be an easy win for the front-runner.
According to people inside and near Clintons brain trust in Brooklyn as well as her New Hampshire operation, this next phase starts Saturday, with a Women for Hillary program in Portsmouth that puts Clinton on stage with the states popular senator, Jeanne Shaheen. It also includes new policy proposals relevant to New Hampshire voters.
But some of her backers argue it wont be enough to claw back the gains Sanders made this summer as Clintons email controversy has dragged on. Sanders has now tied Clinton in New Hampshire and leads according to some polls, with a primary vote only five months away.
How do you pick up the pace when everyones stuck on one issue? Give me an answer on the server and the emails. They dont get it, theyre so disconnected from the people, said Arnie Arnsen, a former state legislator and now a liberal radio host in New Hampshire.
Indeed, to some of Clintons donors and supporters, the campaigns reluctance to make a more aggressive move against Sanders in New Hampshire reflects the same tone-deafness they had been worried about for months in her approach to the email saga that has had a measurable effect on voters views of her trustworthiness.
And while Clintons team asserts its strength against Sanders, privately donors and strategists aligned with the camp concede Sanders could take New Hampshire, even if most publicly maintain that it remains unlikely.
This is not how it was supposed to be...

You know like ...weighting policy proposals on ethanol to Iowans; or, immigration in Texas/Arizona; or, race stuff in ... wait, ...

people know Hillary as well as they do.
Her support for:
TPP
XL Pipeline
Fracking
Wall Street Thieves
Huge Corporations that are destroying our country
No more debates than she chooses to participate in
Wars
Is not going to help her campaign. The more people see and hear Bernie and his policies on the above issues, the more his support grows.
I don't think there's anything Hill can do to win. She's on the wrong side of some of the most important issues facing this nation. People are now well aware of who she is and what she represents.
They're also fully aware of who Bernie is and what he represents and that's why he'll win Iowa and NH.

(22,308 posts)If so, then she is a stronger candidate than I give her credit for. If not then her supporters should admit that she is not as strong as they (or even she) thinks.
