访谈录 克林顿为希拉里站台 迎来特朗普臭骂

 That's Hillary Clinton's top rival Bernie Sanders there working the crowds this week on New Year’s Eve. In just a moment, Bernie Sanders will join me. But first, we go inside the growing feud¹ between Donald Trump² and Bill Clinton who's about to hit the campaign trail for his wife Hillary. As ABC News' Cecilia Vega reports, Trump's new attacks on his former friend Bill Clinton are dominating the democratic race in the New Year. 

 

A year ago, it seemed the presidency³ might be Hillary Clinton's race to lose. Who would have thought 12 months later a democratic socialist⁴ from Vermont and a billionaire reality TV star would pose the biggest threat to her dream? 

 

“Are you ready for a radical⁵ ideal?” 

 

“Yeah!”

 

Her main challenger, Senator Bernie Sanders, continues to draw large and enthusiastic crowds. 

 

“We have received 2.5 million individual contributions, more than any campaign in the history of the United States of America.” 

 

And this week, a twist -- ugly attacks from a former friend. Just a few years ago, Trump had nothing but praise for the Clintons…

 

“Hillary is a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. They're fantastic people.” 

 

..now aiming his attacks not only at his potential rival, but taking shots at Hillary's husband as well. 

 

“She wants to accuse me of things. And the husband's one of the great abusers of the world. Give me a break. Give me a break.”

 

Those attacks not stopping Clinton from bringing what she calls her “secret weapon” to the campaign trail -- tomorrow, the former president heads to New Hampshire, a place where both Clintons have enjoyed political comebacks. But this time, this is Sanders' backyard, where he's been leading in the polls since August. 

 

“Let's make this happen. I need your help, I need your support.”
