Bernie Sanders Attempts To ERODE Hillary Clinton's Hold On N.H. Seniors

Bernie does a great job walking seniors through his platform positions. He will change minds with time. He needs to do more of these intimate, targeted issue venues.

This video is worth a listen.......Bernie is connecting.




MANCHESTER, N.H. — Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will host two Granite State town halls today after trying to make up a large polling gap with Hillary Clinton among New Hampshire seniors, calling yesterday afternoon for expanding Social Security and cutting the cost of prescription drugs.

“I think as the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, it is our job to make sure that every senior in this country can live in security and dignity,” Sanders said at a senior center. “We should not have seniors going to charity in order to deal with their basic needs.”

Sanders will hold a press conference in Concord this morning, then host town halls in Warner and Lebanon. Yesterday, Sanders called for lifting the cap on Social Security — requiring the wealthy to be taxed on more of their annual income to fund the program — and tried to draw a line between himself and Clinton on his proposal.

“She and I have a strong disagreement on this,” Sanders said of Clinton, the only time he mentioned her.

He also held a town hall in Derry last night. Sanders must make inroads with seniors. Last week’s Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll showed Sanders leading Clinton in New Hampshire, 48-38 percent. But among Granite Staters 65 years and older, Clinton holds a commanding lead over Sanders, 57-34 percent. Sanders easily out-polls Clinton among younger voters — leading 81-15 percent in the 18 to 24 years old and 62-21 percent among those ages 25 to 34.

1. Intimate targeted venues is why Hillary is shellacking Bernie in the polls.

But the Bernie fans would rather post crowd pics of their candidate who is polling at 25%.

7. Yes polling at 25%

you mean polling at 25% in October, right?
Do these numbers look familiar because they're pretty identical aren't they?

5. Listening to Bernie speak, one begins to understand..

how he truly connects with people and DOESN'T come across as being 'lawyerly, manicured or focus-panel-tested'...

Bernie really shines with authenticity in the question and answer session. I'm sure, after listening to Bernie, they all went home 'Feelin The Bern'.........

8. YOu're right....Wish people saw more of him this way

He's actually a very pragmatic and informed guy. His stump speech is great, but he really shines when he's talking like this
