MASON CITY, Iowa — Bernie Sanders critiqued fellow Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during a Mason City rally, chastising her for fundraising instead of campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday night.

"My opponent is not in Iowa tonight. She is raising money from a Philadelphia investment firm," Sanders said. "Frankly, I would rather be here with you."

At the Music Man Square, Sanders fired against Clinton, saying that her campaign is "in trouble" as his poll numbers rise before the Iowa caucus Monday. The latest Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll shows Clinton and Sanders virtually tied, with Clinton slightly leading. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows Sanders 4 points ahead.

“Needless to say, our opponents are not all that enthusiastic about that reality,” Sanders said, about potentially winning the Iowa caucus. “One of the things they say, 'Bernie Sanders, nice guy, interesting ideas, but he just could not win a general election.'”

1. Silly title. Did Sanders put up Susan and slam Hillary? I know

it is the media's title--just that the wording is a bit off.

[retrowire]

6. I too, disagree with the buzzwords.

Does any candidate really "slam" another? Did Bernie jump off the wrestling ring ropes and literally slam anyone? Did he show Hillary up in a game of basketball? No.

Other buzzwords I dislike: destroys, eradicates, annihilates, demolishes, etc...

All sensationalism.

20. There are some really bad headline writers out there.

I tend to be suspicious, but I don't think crappy headline writing is an accident.

[SoapBox]

2. I look at him just the same way!

[Dawson Leery]

3. How exactly do men "Vote with their vagina's" Susan?

[riversedge]

8. I basically like Susan but that was one of the stupidest things she has ever said.

[SunSeeker]

9. LOL

[George II]

4. Too bad that story is false. Clinton WAS in Iowa yesterday, then flew to meet with 50....

.....black clergymen, attended a fundraiser, then was back in Iowa late last night.

Perhaps Sanders should have said "she's not in Iowa at this moment"?

[SunSeeker]

10. Ug. That was so dishonest of Sanders. nt

[riversedge]

11. Oh, Sanders knew the effect of his words and he got

his rah rah from the crowd.

15. Hillary is so above that

5. *BERNIE RALLY in Mason City, Iowa last night with enthused locals and Susan Sarandon.

[forest444]

7. That was the first one I've actually seen aired real-time.

Bernie was eloquent and scholarly as always, although he seemed a little out of sorts (I guess I would too if I were 74 and campaigning for President while keeping an 80% Senate attendance record).

Can you tell me where I can catch his future appearances live? I looked and couldn't a source for real-time feeds.

Thank you.

12. This event was last night and I googled 'Jan. 27 2016 Sanders Iowa Rally Rally Susan S.'

soon after I heard about the rally. It came up as a YouTube video.
Pres. Debates are broadcast and livestreamed by major networks of course. For Bernie interviews on cable programs- CNN, MTP, MSNBC, the clips can be found on their website usually the next day. His campaign rallies I typically look for the next day on google, or someone posts here.
Also, look for posts with *livestream LINKS to watch impt. events noted here in the GD-P section.

[forest444]

13. Livestream links. Great!

Amazingly the same link I used to view the Mason City, IA, event didn't have today's event (I forget where it was).

I'll make sure to look for them in the GD-P section, as you suggested.

Thank you, Appalachiablue.

14. "Slam", my ass. What's that saying about 'telling the truth becoming a revolutionary act' ?

Bernie!!

[clif]

16. Try again

Sorry, I do not read "slammed Hillary" in the subject matter." FLAG for sensationalism in making up Headline." That will cost you points in my game.

[KamaAina]

19. You'll have to flag McPaper

That is the actual headline.

[KamaAina]

17. If I were at all undecided, Susan would sway me.

Hell, she might sway me if I were a full-on Hillarista!

[Gregorian]

18. It's such a pleasant change from politics of past.

She even cried while introducing him. That's the level of desire to accomplish these goals. And then some.
