Bill Clinton batters and blasts Bernie Sanders
Bill Clinton’s milquetoast stump speech touting his wife’s biography and her power as a “changemaker” has transformed into a brutal litany of attacks on Bernie Sanders and the devious campaign the Clintons apparently believe he is running.
Campaigning in Iowa ahead of the caucus last week, the former President seemed sent to merely soften his wife's image -- he shared gauzy memories dating back to law school about how everything she ever touched, she made better. But two days before the New Hampshire primary, where Sanders is leading by double digits in the polls, the Big Dog turned into an attack dog.
“When you’re making a revolution, you can’t be too careful with the facts,” he told the crowd of just under 300 who came to hear him speak Sunday afternoon while Hillary Clinton paid a visit to Flint, Michigan, to visit a church. “I want you to laugh, because when you’re mad you can’t think.”
Without mentioning Sanders by name, Clinton recited a laundry list of double standards and lack of details in policy proposals he has identified in Sanders’ campaign — and labeled “her opponent the champion of all things small and the enemy of all things big.”

As a woman, Hillary Clinton can't delve too much into contrast with Bernie Sanders. The media would crucify her. Fortunately, she has Bill Clinton who can do the heavy lifting for her. He's almost acting like her vice-president.

Only Dem who seems to get it
Hillary Clinton has a message for your child " “I know you may not be for me now, but I am for you, I will work hard for you, I will be a president who puts your future at the top of our national priorities.”
So, even if your child doesn't support Hillary Clinton, she will fight and stand up for him
