Lester Holt Clinton

Clinton emails: Clinton dismissed the move as an attempt to divert attention from his own campaign promises — including a Medicare-for-all health plan — which are attracting more criticism as he rises in the polls. * Clinton emails upgraded to ‘top secret’* That is a time-worn politician tactic, Clinton told Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, according to MSNBC. Clinton suggested that Sanders’ platform was based on unrealistic goals, and said she offered the opposite: the more clear agenda that can actually produce results for people who can’t wait. Clinton also accused Sanders of trying to go negative with ads accusing Wall Street of trying to buy off politicians — spots that didn’t name Clinton, but aired after she left Iowa Wednesday to raise money at a Philadelphia investment firm. The sharpened rhetoric reflects an increasingly competitive race in the final stretch in Iowa. In New Hampshire, home of the campaign second primary, Sanders is leading 57 percent to 38 percent. The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll of likely Democratic primary voters shows Clinton leading Sanders 48 percent to 45 percent, a statistical dead heat. (news.financializer.com).
