N.H. Poll: Sanders Has Biggest Lead Yet Over Clinton
BERMAN: All right. On stage at Ames, Iowa, Hillary Clinton is facing a whole new campaign, folks. The new poll out the beginning of the hour in New Hampshire showing her down 14 points there, and Iowa is close, too.</s>BOLDUAN: And in Iowa, she's neck and neck with Bernie Sanders, and he is the close in the latest polling in Iowa, but she is feeling the heat. She is taking on the key issues that Bernie Sanders is taking on, women's issues, income inequality.</s>HILLARY CLINTON, (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE & FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: And we need to open the doors to more education if we focus on making it affordable. I do not believe that the federal government should be making a profit off of lending money to students in order to get their education.</s>CLINTON: And let me also say when it comes to foreign policy and national security, I hear the Republicans, and they have one of two approaches. One, bomb, carpet bomb, and bomb some more, send American ground troops, call it a day. That is their national security policy, best I can understand it. There are a few who say, no, we should not be involved anywhere and nothing is important enough to do anything to help anybody. Equally unrealistic. So let me tell you are where I stand and what I tried to do as secretary of state in President Obama's first term. The United States must lead. If we do not lead, it is not that we have someone else step up and lead consistent with our values, consistent with increasing peace and prosperity, and we have a vacuum, and it is filled by aggressive states, and it is filled by networks of criminals, terrorists and others. So we are to lead. It is a question of where are we leading and where what are we trying to accomplish. And now when I hear the Republicans, and they string our names together, and they will say, the failed Obama/Clinton foreign policy. I listened for a while. I have been waiting for them to blame me for the fall of the Roman Empire, and they have not gotten quite that far yet. They are on the way. And then I thought to myself, OK, maybe they don't know what I did. So I sent them the all a copy of my book "Hard Choices" about the hard choices I made and I was part of --</s>CLINTON: -- and my time as secretary of state.</s>CLINTON: I figured --</s>BERMAN: Hillary Clinton in Ames, Iowa, right now. That is Hillary Clinton giving her imitations, her impression of the Republican candidates in their voices.</s>BOLDUAN: Speaking in their voices. That is collective -- that's the sound of what she believes is the collective Republican field criticizing her, but she is still waiting for them to blame her for the fall of the Roman Empire. That's one thing she definitely pointed out.</s>BERMAN: And still no reference to Bernie Sanders, and perhaps she will talk about him soon. Meanwhile, we have break news on the Powerball front.</s>BOLDUAN: And also known as the Kate and John Berman retirement plan.</s>BERMAN: And it is big. How big?</s>BOLDUAN: World-record big, $1.5 billion, people.</s>BERMAN: With a "B", and ever been that high on any lottery anywhere on earth, never. We still have a day to go.</s>BOLDUAN: You have not bought the ticket?</s>BERMAN: No.</s>BOLDUAN: Really? You haven't? It is not that hard.</s>BOLDUAN: You can't win if you are not in the game. I will say it again.</s>BERMAN: Next, the president is making a rare admission ahead of the final State of the Union address, and what the president says he gets the most about his two terms in office.
