Candidate Watch: Sanders
Sanders, having won New Hampshire, seemed to be trying to address one of his core weaknesses in his (extended) victory speech: electability. Early on in his speech, he argued that the type of voter enthusiasm that drove his win in New Hampshire is what Democrats need in November, saying that Democrats win when voter turnout is high and Republicans win when voter turnout is low.
Otherwise it was a fairly standard Sanders speech. He hit, among other issues: income inequality, campaign finance, veterans’ issues and mass incarceration. Sanders also spoke directly to his young supporters, who polls show prefer him to Clinton, addressing social justice issues, jobs and criticizing the costs associated with obtaining a college education.
