Hillary turns heat on Trump in last debate

After holding former President Bill Clinton behind-the-scenes and on the fundraising trail of her presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton announced Saturday night at a post-debate meet-and-greet that her husband will be hitting the campaign trail in January.

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event at the Veterans Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on December 19, 2015. The momentarily empty podium prompted jokes that Mrs Clinton, so focused on defeating the Republicans, had, perhaps, chose to watch the primary debate from a Manchester bar, with a row of glistening ladies’ rooms nearby.

However, it’s worth noting that Sanders crushing an Obama fundraising is more significant than a simple financial victory. But I think it goes back to Clinton Foundation donations, goes back to email scandal.

As for O’Malley: His low point was leveling a prepared charge of “bickering” at Sanders and Clinton (over the campaign data issue that blew up late in the week).

Advocating for more “love and kindness” Clinton added: “That’s why it’s important to stand up to bullies wherever we are and why we shouldn’t let anybody bully his way into the presidency”.

But Sanders called the DNC’s two-day block of his campaign’s access to the data “absolutely unacceptable”.

Just after the second Democratic debate in November, Clinton drew 50% support to Sanders’ 29%. “I think it was a good debate, but I think there is a desire on the part of the DNC to protect Secretary Clinton”. All of this plays to Mrs. Clinton’s strengths – not only as a hawkish former secretary of state but also as a savvy politician who follows the public mood.

First of all, it gets the Democratic base wound up by scaring them about Trump, and the more the Democrats attack Trump the more the Republicans like him.

And now, Bernie Sanders has been barred from accessing the DNC’s national voter database because of a breach of Hillary’s voter data.

“We also need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don’t fall on receptive ears”, she said.

“Yes, we could get rid of Assad tomorrow, but that would create another political vacuum that would benefit ISIS”, using an alternative name for ISIL. “People who we should be welcoming and working with”, she said.

While she rails about “income inequality” and “the 1 percent”, she and Bill have received more than $25 million in speaking fees since January 2014.

One of the sharpest exchanges at the debate came when Clinton and Sanders discussed their drastically different approaches on foreign policy.
