Connecting the dots on Hillary Clinton

Sen. Bernie Sanders Passes Hillary Clinton Faster than Barack Obama Did in 2008

A new Fox News poll of the Democrat primary race shows socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

edging past Hillary Clinton for the first time — and at a faster rate than Barack Obama outpaced Clinton in 2008.​

The national poll, conducted Monday through Wednesday, shows Sanders with 47 percent support, 3 points higher than Clinton, with 44 percent support.

Just one month ago, Clinton led Sanders by 12 points in the Fox poll. The change in fortunes is due, in part, to Sanders’ landslide victory in New Hampshire and his almost-level outcome in the Iowa caucus.

The most interesting thing about this latest national poll, however, is how quickly Sanders has edged Clinton. In 2008, Barack Obama did not lead a national poll against Clinton until after Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina AND Florida and Michigan had voted.

The first time Obama led a national poll against Clinton was on the eve of Super Tuesday voting in 2008.

The pop-star was in Las Vegas, Nevada for her Britney: Piece of Me residency show at Planet Hollywood when she bumped into the Democratic presidential candidate. Taking to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to post photos of their meeting, the 34-year-old singer gushed about the experience calling Hillary Clinton an 'inspiration and beautiful voice for women around the world'. The 68-year-old former Secretary of State was in the area to campaign ahead of Nevada's Democratic caucus on Saturday and appeared to be looking to appeal to younger voters.

VIDEO: Hillary supporters register AFTER voting?

FEBRUARY 20, 2016BY KYLE OLSON

A video posted on YouTube by James Porter purports to show Hillary Clinton voters bypassing the registration area to cast ballots in the Nevada caucus Saturday.

“They’re letting them into the caucus right now without registering them,” a woman can be heard yelling as a steady line of people stream by.

“They’re going to do the count. They’re all going to be part of the count,” anther woman can be heard saying in reply.

“But they’re not registered,” a man says.

“They will register after this,” the woman can be heard saying.

“Clinton supports caught BREAKING the rules,” Porter writes in the video description. “This just happened at caucus location in Nevada. Hillary supporters were not registering to caucus, which is NOT allowed by the Democratic Party.”

• Hillary Clinton bested Bernie Sanders by five points in today's Nevada caucuses, which was expected to be a photo finish
• She won blacks by more than 50 points, according to entrance polls - a bad sign for Sanders in states to come like South Carolina, the next race
• Clinton gave a special thank you to supporters, including hotel and casino workers, 'who never wavered'
• Sanders gave the same speech as he would have had he pulled out a victory, proclaiming he has the 'momentum' to win the nomination

Luck was on Hillary Clinton's side today in Las Vegas as she surpassed rival Bernie Sanders in Nevada.
An exuberant Clinton celebrated the win onstage at Caesars Palace, a fixture of the Las Vegas strip, giving a special thank you to hotel and casino workers 'who never wavered.'
'Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other,' Clinton told her supporters. 'And this one's for you.'
With more than 80 percent of caucus sites reporting, Sanders was down by an irreconcilable five points to Clinton after losing blacks by more than 50 points, according to entrance polling - a statistic that does not bode well for him in states to come.
The Vermont senator quickly called Clinton to concede.
'They ran a very aggressive, effective campaign and I applaud them for their efforts,' Sanders said once onstage with his own supporters, though suggested that he still has the Democratic 'momentum' after his gigantic New Hampshire win.

Bernie Sanders stuck with his usual script and said, despite the loss, that he had the 'momentum' in the Democratic race and expected to be the nominee



Clinton congratulated Sanders for a 'hard fought' race, though tried to grab a hold of some of his trademark stances.
'In the campaign you've heard a lot about Washington and Wall Street,' Clinton said, alluding to Sanders' complaints that she's too cozy with New York bankers. 'We all want to get secret unaccountable money out of politics that starts with appointing a new justice to the Supreme Court.'
She also touted her own small dollar donors, which Sanders has noted has propelled his own campaign as he doesn't have a super PAC,,
Clinton thanked the ‘more than 750,000 people who’ve gone to HillaryClinton.com and contributed what you could – the vast majority less than $100 – and to the millions of people supporting our campaign.'
'We hear you, we see you…we’re in this together,' she added.
Sanders downplayed his loss while addressing his own supporters in Las Vegas.
The Vermont senator noted how far down in the polls he had been in Iowa, a state that Hillary Clinton barely won, and New Hampshire, a state that he easily defeated her in.
'And we were way behind here in Nevada,' he pointed out.
Sanders talked about how he's been delivering a 'tough' message to voters: 'And that is the fact that we have a corrupt campaign finance system, which is undermining American democracy.'
CNN reported that Sanders planned to deliver the same speech he would have had he been victorious in today's caucuses.
It showed as he boldly proclaimed that he still expected to be the Democratic nominee.

Hillary Clinton, stealing one of Bernie Sanders' prominent talking points, said she, too, wanted to get money out of politics

'It is clear to me and to most observers that the wind is at our backs, we have the momentum,' the democratic socialist said.
'And I believe that when Democrats assemble in Philadelphia in July at that convention we are going to see the results of one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States,' Sanders stated.
Sanders also criticized Clinton's use of President Obama's former super PAC, though he didn't use his rival's name.
'But I also know that on Super Tuesday and before we are going to be taking on a very powerful and well-funded super PAC, a super PAC that receives a significant amount of money from Wall Street and wealthy special interests,' Sanders said.
As networks and the Associated Press called the race for her, Clinton tweeted her gratitude to the state's voters.

'To everyone who turned out in every corner of Nevada with determination and heart: This is your win. Thank you,' the tweet, signed with her signature H to show she wrote it herself, said.
Clinton also tweeted a photo of herself hugging a group of female supporters and her staff sent out a tweet asking for money in to her campaign.
There to witness Clinton’s victory speech at Caesars Palace was Karla Ortiz.
The ten year old girl caught Clinton’s heart and attention and became her poster child for immigration reform with the campaign ad ‘Brave’ featuring a tearful Karla being comforted by Clinton as she shared her fear that her parents – both illegal immigrants – would be deported.
Dressed in red, her long hair tied back in bunches a smiling Karla told Daily Mail Online: ‘I think it’s all pretty exciting. I hope that Hillary will have more power and she’ll be higher up and help us.’

Karla was at the Clinton event with her mother, Fransisca Ortiz, 40.
Speaking publicly for the first time through a friend, immigration reform activist Astrid Silva, who runs the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada at whose headquarters the event that led to Clinton’s encounter with Karla was held last weekend, Fransisca said: ‘I’m very proud of my daughter for being brave and asking a question that a lot of people have on their minds.’
Mrs Ortiz, who works as a cleaner in Las Vegas, revealed that she had met Clinton earlier that day and thanked her for coming and sharing her time but said that Clinton had not discussed the details of her and her husband’s case.
Instead, she said: ‘I just hope to God that DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans) goes through.’
She and her husband, painter Milton, also 40, have lived in America since arriving illegally from Guatemala some 23 years ago and have, she admitted, lived with the constant fear of discovery and deportation.
That fear became a reality in 2013 when they were served with a deportation order – the letter about which Karla told Clinton during her meeting last weekend with the Las Vegas DREAMers
This group of immigrants is known as DREAMers because it consists of individuals who meet the general requirements of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.
Mrs Ortiz told of how she and her husband both suffer ill health – she diabetes and he a blood disorder – but are simply trying to get by with what they have and the jobs they can garner.
She did not know if Clinton had any plans to pursue her and her husband’s case individually but said she just hopes the former Secretary of State is elected, as she believes that her planned reforms will help her family.

Amid scenes of jubilation from other Clinton supporters Mrs Ortiz said quietly: ‘I just pray Hillary is elected and that I can apply through the courts for citizenship.’
After Clinton had departed for her next stop on the campaign trail, her supporters continued celebrating the win that had, in truth, been far closer than they had once hoped.
As camera crews and media outlets packed up and shipped out the supporters moved through the corridors of Caesar’s Palace erupting in spontaneous outburst of chanting – ‘Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!’ and drawing confused looks from tourists unaware of the scenes that had so recently unfolded in one of the hotel’s ballrooms above the casino floor.
Entry polls take from the caucuses in Nevada show a breakdown among predictable lines.
Sanders won the bulk of caucus participants 17-29 and 30-44. under the age of 45, Clinton bested him with voters in the next rung up and with seniors.
Two-thirds of participants said it was their first time participating. This is a category that Sanders expected to do better in, but it ended up not mattering at all.
Almost twice as many caucus goers as 2008 say they are very liberal - another good sign for Sanders, and still, he lost.
On the other hand, just four in 10 Democratic voters said the next president should pursue more liberal polices than Obama. Nearly 50 percent said they wanted a general continuation of Obama's policies.
Clinton has made the divide between Sanders and Obama on progressive issues a centerpiece of her strategy to defeat the Vermont senators and win over blacks before a string of contests with large blocks of minority voters.

The Clinton campaign sent out a flurry of tweets once her victory in Nevada was announced including this one asking supporters to text 'CONGRATS' to the former secretary of state



.More than a third of those who showed up to caucus today were black, Hispanic or non-white, NBC's entrance polling shows. Of those that were Hispanic, 19 percent, entrance polling showed Sanders with an 11-point advantage over Clinton, 54 percent to her 43 percent. They made up 20 percent of the electorate - an increase of five percent from 2008.
That year Clinton handily won the demographic as she competed against fellow U.S. Senators Barack Obama and John Edwards.
African-Americans constituted 13 percent of the vote. Clinton won over 76 percent of that demographic with 22 percent going to Sanders.
In terms of their concerns, Democrats in Nevada were evenly split between a candidate who 'has the right experience' and one who is 'honest and trustworthy.' Half put themselves in one of those two categories while 28 percent picked 'cares about people like me' and 19 percent said they were worried about electability.
The candidates' campaigning in the state this week has a significant effect on their vote totals. The entrance polls show 12 percent made up their minds in just the past few days.
Another five percent said they arrived at their choice in the last week.
That compares to the 13 percent who said they picked a side in the last month and the 68 percent who decided before that.
Sanders now heads to South Carolina, which holds its primary Feb. 27. Clinton is off to delegate-rich Texas, which votes on March 1, Super Tuesday.
With a slew of states expected to vote on that day, both candidates are expected to criss-cross the country in the coming days.
Clinton will go on a fundraising swing after her Texas trip and end up in South Carolina on Wednesday. After his initial trip to the Palmetto State this weekend, Sanders goes to Norfolk, Virginia.
Neither has said where they'll spend the evening of March 1, but Sanders' home state votes that day, so he's likely to spend the evening where it all began for him - Burlington, Vermont.
Clinton likewise could end up in Arkansas, the state she spent more than a decade in and served as first lady.

[h=2]RNC Ad Calls Out Clinton’s Complicated History With the Truth[/h]SHARE

BY: Jack Heretik
February 20, 2016 7:47 pm

The Republican National Committee (RNC) released an ad on Friday slamming Hillary Clinton for allegedly misleading the Ameircan people about the Sept. 11, 2014 attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya and the ongoing controversy surrounding her email server while she was secretary of state.
The ad, called “Wiggle Room,” pointed out how Jimmy Carter ran for president in 1976 by promising the American people he would not lie to them.
The ad contrasted footage of Carter making his promise with Clinton’s interview last week with CBS News anchor Scott Pelley.
“You talk about leveling with the American people—have you always told the truth?” Pelley asked.
Clinton seemed to hedge in her answer.
“I’ve always tried to,” she said.
The ad then played footage of deceptive or misleading statements Clinton has made in the last few years.
“I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email,” Clinton said at a press conference in 2015. This claim has been proven false.
Another clip shows Clinton speaking about the impetus of the Benghazi attack. Clinton claimed the attack was the outgrowth of a riot caused by an amateur movie on YouTube that portrayed Islam in a bad light, when in fact the attack was an organized terrorist attack unrelated to the video.
“Some people are going to call that wiggle room,” Pelley said.
Fifty-six percent of voters do not think Clinton is honest or trustworthy, according to a recent YouGov poll.

Wage gap: One Hillary Clinton speech more than average CEO salary



By PAUL BEDARD (@SECRETSBEDARD)

•​

2/21/16 11:51 AM








Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's charge that corporate CEOs earn 300 times more than their workers isn't just wrong. It hides another very real wage gap: She earns more in just one speech than the average American CEO in a year.
Mark J. Perry, a University of Michigan professor and author of the American Enterprise Institute's popular Carpe Diem blog, did the fact-checking of Clinton's numbers and came up with that result.

​

The average CEO, using Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, makes $216,100. Clinton's speaking agent, the Harry Walker Agency Inc., charged about $275,000 a speech and packaged three for Wall Street's Goldman Sachs at $675,000.

​

Perry used the BLS average salary for all CEOs, not just the top ones Clinton likes to cite.

​

And about that 300-1 wage gap Clinton even touted in an ad? Perry found that the average worker salary is $48,920, about what it was in 2009. That translates into an apples-to-apples wage gap of 4.4-to-1.
According to Perry:
"If we want an accurate 'apples-to-apples' comparison, then shouldn't we really compare the average CEO in the US to the average American worker? In 2014, there were 21,550 Chief Executives working full-time "managing a company or enterprise" and those CEOs earned an average annual salary of $216,100 according to the BLS. That's about the same annual salary of $201,030 for the average orthodontist.

​

"The average private full-time American worker earned $48,920 in 2014 (based on an average hourly wage of $24.46). That would give us an 'Average CEO-to-Average-Worker Pay' ratio of only 4.4-to-1 in 2014. That ratio has been stable over the last 8 years at an average of 4.4-to-1 between 2007 and 2014."

Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire Tuesday / AP​

BY: Morgan Chalfant
February 23, 2016 3:57 pm

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled Tuesday that discovery should go forward over Hillary Clinton’s private, unsecured email system.
The Washington Post reported:

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that State Department officials and top aides to Hillary Clinton should be questioned under oath about whether they intentionally thwarted federal open records laws by using or allowing the use of a private email server throughout Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. The decision by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of Washington came in a lawsuit over public records brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, regarding its May 2013 request, for information about the employment arrangement of Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide. … Sullivan set an April deadline for parties to lay out a detailed investigative plan that would extend well beyond the limited and carefully worded explanations of the use of the private server that department and Clinton officials have given.
​

An official at the State Department confirmed that the agency was aware of the ruling but would not elaborate further because the lawsuit is ongoing.
Sullivan also indicated that he could order the State Department to subpoena Clinton and Abedin in order to return all records connected to Clinton’s personal email account to the agency.
“There has been a constant drip, drip, drip of declarations. When does it stop?” Sullivan said Tuesday. He further stated that the reports about Clinton’s use of personal email and the State Department’s handling of the situation that have emerged over the course of months have presented “at least a ‘reasonable suspicion’ ” that public records access under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was impaired.
“This case is about the public’s right to know,” the federal judge said.
The government could appeal Sullivan’s ruling, but it is unclear whether such an appeal will be made.
Clinton has received continued scrutiny for her use of personal email at the State Department, which was revealed nearly a year ago. Critics have argued that Clinton compromised national security by using an unsecured email system to discuss sensitive government business.
The State Department has been periodically vetting and releasing Clinton’s emails to the public, redacting many of them that contain classified information. The count of Clinton emails containing classified information rose to 1,730 with the State Department’s latest release, though the agency has said that they were not marked classified during Clinton’s tenure.
Last month, the State Department confirmed that 22 emails contain “top secret” information, and the messages were blocked from release because of their highly sensitive nature.
The FBI is currently investigating Clinton’s email setup.
