CNN’s Zeleny: Hillary Campaign Knows ‘Her Biggest Opponent Is Still Hillary Clinton’

‘They are focused on these early stages, but they know her biggest opponent is still Hillary Clinton’

ZELENY: “It's one of the things they have. But there are a couple of other issues. We heard Bernie Sanders and he's going to be the vessel for every liberal hope and dream and he may be the candidate of the summer of 2015 which is a different thing than being the nominee. But look, they are going to push her connections on Wall Street. They're going to talk about how genuine she has actually moved on some of these positions, like gay marriage, like immigration because she has evolved over the last couple weeks as well. But what the Clinton campaign is focused on -- not national polls -- Iowa. They say they want to win, they need to win the Iowa caucuses. No winner of the Iowa caucuses is ever over 50 percent if they were not already a sitting president. And they're somewhat worried that Bernie Sanders will sort of appeal to the hearts and minds of liberals out there, someone may want to send Hillary Clinton a message to make sure she is not ready for a coronation there. So they are focused on these early stages but they know her biggest opponent is still Hillary Clinton.”
