Sanders won’t let go of data controversy

No votes have yet been cast for the Democratic presidential nomination, but don’t tell Hillary Clinton. And if it is to be decided on being politically connected, it goes to Hillary.

She gave her rival, Vermont Sen. Sanders countered with a lawsuit, and the DNC quickly returned access to the campaign. None of the three uses the kind of incendiary language, proposes off-the-wall ideas and stirs angry emotions as Republican frontrunner Donald Trump does.

“The greed of Wall Street is destroying this economy and is destroying the lives of millions of Americans”, Sanders said.

The next Democratic debate is scheduled for January 17 in Charleston, S.C. The next Republican debate is set for January 14 in North Charleston, S.C. The first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses are tentatively scheduled for February 1, followed by the New Hampshire primaries tentatively set on February 9.

“What the DNC did, arbitrarily, without discussing it with us, is shut off our access to our information, crippling our campaign”, Sanders said.

Indeed, Clinton made clear that – on the debate stage at least – she wanted to focus elsewhere.

Calling their foreign policy differences “fairly deep”, Sanders said Clinton “is too much into regime change and a little too aggressive without knowing what the consequences may be”.

Sanders apologized to Hillary Clinton during Saturday’s debate – after it was revealed one of his staffers viewed private data from the Clinton campaign.

Sanders apologized to Clinton during the debate for accessing her data and the apology was accepted. And you could score one more for those Democrats who would just as soon not be having these intraparty debates at all.

Republican candidates latched on to what sounds like a complacent comment from the former Secretary of State, who touts foreign-policy experience as a major element of her resume.

She particularly took aim at Donald Trump, whom Democrats hope to paint not as an outlier from Republican Party orthodoxy but as a representative of a party that could alienate more moderate Americans.

Before that, however, Sanders might be able to take advantage of unique circumstances in both Iowa and New Hampshire that make them more hard for Clinton than other states. “But it is true that he is being used in social media by ISIS to help recruit”. Tom Harkin’s candidacy, to 2008, when she lost to Obama because of his innate appeal and the opposition within the state’s liberal-leaning Democratic party to her now-retracted support for the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.

She pledged that as president, she wouldn’t raise taxes on families making $250,000 or less per year.

“And we finally have a UN Security Council Resolution bringing the world together to go after a political transition in Syria”, she said. Sanders’ camp called all this overreaction and proof of the DNC’s long-running favoritism toward Clinton.

“No @HillaryClinton – We are not “where we need to be” in fight against ISIS”, Bush said on Twitter.

Clinton also twice refused to answer a question about how much responsibility she bears for the current chaos in the Middle East because she caused the catastrophic so-called Arab Spring.

That issue is sure to be a key exhibit in the Republican case that her record as secretary of state and what GOP candidates see as a disastrous period of USA confusion and retreat overseas should disqualify her from being president.

Democratic candidates for the presidency sparred over how deeply involved the United States should be in the Syrian crisis.
