According to The Wall Street Journal they mentioned that, "Hillary Clinton is calling for a round of tax cuts for the middle class that would be paid for with higher taxes on wealthier households". In brief, Hillary's plan would insert hundreds of billions dollars into middle-class households, which will enable them to better cope with rising expenses. Hillary would also offer a tax credit to help people pay out-of-pocket health-care costs, and individuals would receive as much as $2,500 from the credit; families, $5,000.

Hillary Has a Plan for ISIS
On Thursday Hillary Clinton said that the U.S. should crush
the Islamic State group with a broader international coalition that employs
intensified airstrikes on a greater number of targets, but insisted the ground
fight should be led by Sunni Muslims and Kurdish forces, with American troops
playing only a limited advisory role. “Turning away orphans, applying a
religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every
single Syrian refugee – that is just not who we are. We are better than
that," she said. "Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful
and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism."
Clinton seemed poised and delivered her speech calmly. Many think this is a
good thing to have in a president; however, there are still many who disagree
with her ideas because letting in refugees could very well let in terrorists.

Clinton is high in Polls because of the incident in Paris
In the wake of last
week’s attacks in Paris, Americans say Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
are the White House hopefuls best able to handle the threat of terrorism,
according to a new Reuters. The poll of 1,106 respondents taken after
Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris found that Clinton and Trump were preferred
by approximately 20% of respondents each as the 2016 candidate “best suited to
deal with terrorism. “Trump and Clinton also took the top spots among
members of their own parties when it came to who could handle terrorism best,
as Trump topped Marco Rubio, who’s made foreign policy a centerpiece of his
campaign, among Republicans. Both candidates have also long held overall
polling leads in their bids for their parties’ presidential nominations, though
Trump and Ben Carson have alternated in the top spot among Republicans in
recent surveys. While they may share a spot atop the Reuters poll when it comes
to dealing with terrorism, they’ve staked out very different policy terrain in
the days since the Paris attacks. Trump has argued that less restrictive gun
laws in France would’ve helped foil the attackers. He’s also opposed moves to
allow Syrian refugees into the United States, suggesting instead the creation
of a safe zone in Syria. Clinton, meanwhile, denounced on Twitter Tuesday what
she called the “hateful rhetoric from the GOP” on the refugee question, saying
“the idea that we’d turn away refugees because of religion is a new low.”

According to the News Week article, it mentioned that months prior to the presidential primary Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has received public support from more than half of her party's insiders, according to Associated Press. In brief, The AP contacted each of the 712 superdelegates to ask which candidate they would vote for at the Democratic National Convention next summer. More than 80% of the superdelegates responded. In the last two weeks Clinton was able to solidify support from 359 superdelegates. This number gives Hillary an advantage over her two rivals. As of now, Bernie sanders stands with support from eight superdelegates and a Martin O'Malley with only two. The rest of the 210 delegates said they are not committed to a particular democratic candidate. It is also stated that these 712 superdelegates make up 30% of the 2,382 delegates needed to with the Democratic nomination.

Dick Cheney (former vice President) syas Hilarys in big trouble!!
Former Vice President Dick Cheney doesn’t not think Hilary has a chance of winning the election this year. He accused Obama and Clinton of rushing to cover up details of the September 2012 attack on a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, because “it was election time and it was shortly before the 2012 election and they had a narrative going that once they got Osama bin Laden the problem was solved, there was no terrorism problem anymore -- they didn’t want to admit that there was a problem out there. The data suggested there was." “It’s pretty clear to me ... that in fact she did not handle the matter appropriately, that she consciously misled the American people and that I think it does raise serious, serious doubts about her capacity to be president of the United States, he added later. Cheney is especially concerned with Clinton's decision to use a private e-mail address while serving as secretary of state. “I’ve got to believe that she knew that she had to protect and safeguard the classified information that she was party to as secretary of state, one of the most important jobs in our government," he said. Clinton has said that she did not receive information on her private account that was deemed classified -- a statement that has since been disputed by congressional Republicans.
As Hillary Clinton's lead grows, does Bernie Sanders have a chance?

There's more good news for Clinton: Her net favorable rating among Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters is 63 percent, up from 49 percent just before the first Democratic debate, according to a Nov. 9 Gallup poll. Senator Sanders is trailing here, too, with a net favorable rating of 38 percent, down 1 percentage point since the last debate.

The Brady Campaign to end violence is giving an award to
Hillary for her efforts on controlling violence. "Throughout her
career as a public servant, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly put the safety of
the American people above the influence and interests of the corporate gun
lobby," Brady president Dan Gross said in a statement to CBS News.
"She serves as an example for all policymakers who truly want to serve the
constituencies they are elected to represent." Since launching her second
presidential campaign, Clinton has made new proposals about gun
control. The inaugural Governor Mario Cuomo Leadership Award will be
presented to Clinton next Thursday, November 19 during the center's annual gala
in New York City.

On Friday November 6th, Hillary Clinton announced a new criminal justice reform in which she's advocating a break with "mass incarceration". According to the article it stated that her new plan includes cutting prison time for non- violent offenses and reducing the application of mandatory minimum sentences. Hillary says she would also reform the excessive use of "strikes" to lengthen prison sentences and that she would also cut non-violent drug offenses from that list of crimes.

Poll: Clinton Ties Carson in '16 Matchup, but Tops Other GOP Candidates
One year out before the 2016 general election, Hillary Clinton and Ben Carson
are tied in a hypothetical matchup, but Clinton leads three other major
Republican candidates, according to brand-new numbers from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Clinton is ahead of Republican Donald Trump by
eight points among registered voters, 50 percent to 42 percent. She leads
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by four points, 47 percent to 43 percent. And
Clinton holds a three-point advantage over Sen. Marco Rubio, 47 percent to 44
percent, though that's well within the poll's margin of error of plus-minus 3.4
percentage points. But against Ben Carson, who is now leading the GOP horserace in the NBC/WSJ poll,
Clinton finds herself in a tied contest, 47 percent to 47 percent. The reason
why Carson performs better versus Clinton than the rest of the GOP field is due
to Carson's standing among independent voters. Carson leads Clinton by 13
points among independents (47 percent to 34 percent). That's compared with
Rubio's seven-point lead here (42 percent to 35 percent), Bush's four-point
lead (41 percent-37 percent) and Trump's four-point lead (43 percent to 39
percent).
