TYT: Why Is Hillary Clinton Imitating Bernie Sanders?



Right before the voting begins, all of a sudden Hillary Clinton is taking a page from Bernie Sanders. Her recent speeches have become fiery, indignant Bernie impressions. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Hillary Clinton just may be feeling the Bern — gaining on her, that is.

The former secretary of State has a new ad taking on Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., by asserting she is the only one who can win the presidency.

The aggressive spot features a montage of memorable statements from Republican candidates, including Donald Trump (“I would bomb the (expletive) out of them.”), Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (“carpet-bomb them into oblivion”), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (“Sit down and shut up!”).

“Think about it: one of these Republicans could actually be president,” a narrator says. “They’re backward, even dangerous. So ask yourself, who’s the one candidate who can stop them? Hillary Clinton.”

The ad, which is set to air in Iowa and New Hampshire, comes as new polls suggest Sanders has been gaining support in the race for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton’s lead on average in national surveys has dropped slightly during the past month,according to Real Clear Politics. And Sanders is actually leading Clinton among likely primary voters in New Hampshire by 50% to 37%, according to a Fox News poll this week.”*
