A risky World Takes Center Stage In Second Democratic Debate

Clinton’s competitors came ready for a slugfest, slamming Clinton on Wall Street regulation, her record in the Middle East and gun control. “I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in”.

The NY Times editorial board late Sunday accused Hillary Clinton of dodging a question on whether Wall Street money would influence her policy decisions as president, and for offering the “cynical” response that those donations poured in because she represented NY during 9/11.

In one of the debate’s most tense exchanges, Sen.

According to the debate transcript posted online by the Washington Post, Sanders said, “It is not a radical idea to say that if somebody works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty”.

The second Democratic primary debate held in Des Moines, Iowa, pulled in a respectable audience of 8.5 million viewers to CBS on Saturday. I like how you stand up.

Clinton’s campaign spokesman Brian Fallon added in an email to the NY Times: “As Hillary Clinton said last night, we are at war with radical jihadist terrorism, not an entire religion. That is why I support a $12 national federal minimum wage”, Clinton said.

“The Muslim nations in the region-Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Jordan-they’re going to have to get their hands dirty, their boots on the ground”. Where were we attacked?

Clinton, speaking earlier in the day at a Democratic barbecue, suggested Sanders would raise middle-class taxes and “scrap” President Barack Obama’s health care law, the Associated Press said. “We were attacked in downtown Manhattan, where Wall Street is”, she said.

The former secretary of state did not make any mention of her controversial answer linking Wall Street with 9/11, but she did call the September 11 attacks a “searing, disgusting experience in our country”. “And places like Seattle, like Los Angeles, like NY City, they can go higher”. “You know, maybe they’re dumb and they don’t know what they’re going to get, but I don’t think so”, the senator continued.

Clinton ultimately used a few form of the word terrorist, jihadist, or extremist 15 times, compared to three times for Sanders, who spent much of his opening statement railing against the “rigged economy”, and once for O’Malley.

“It is a stretch”, Bill Clinton said.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for the 2016 election, was asked during the debate about contributions she had received from the financial industry and whether it would affect her plans to regulate it.
