Clinton goes on attack against Sanders early in Democratic presidential debate

Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders listens to a point made by rival candidate Hillary Clinton during a presidential primary debate hosted by MSNBC in Durham, N.H., February 4, 2016. The TV debate in New Hampshire was their first since the Democratic race was whittled down to two this week.

“Senator Sanders and I share some very big progressive goals”, Clinton said, using the buzzword of the evening. It also is one of four debates Clinton and Sanders agreed to add to the schedule.

“While Trump, Clinton and Cruz wallow in a negative favorability swamp, by comparison, Rubio and Sanders are rock stars”, Malloy said.

Mr Sanders, for his part, suggested Mrs Clinton’s loyalties were coloured by a reliance on big corporate donors. “I didn’t mean any of that.'” Having the last word, Brian Kilmeade asked, “Have you ever seen the refs hug Peyton Manning at the end of the game?”

Clinton had been asked on Wednesday why she accepted $675,000 for three speeches from the financial firm Goldman Sachs. The two candidates both cast corporate America as the villain, but they offered drastically different views about how to impose change.

Hillary Clinton praised the city of Richmond for launching a pilot program for police body cameras.

It seemed unlikely that her latest answers would put the issue to rest, in a year when seething voter anger of Wall Street has propelled Sanders to a 20-point lead in New Hampshire.

This new poll was conducted after the Iowa caucuses, when the polls were too close to call Monday night but, finally, Clinton eked out a win over Sanders.

The Quinnipiac poll found that Sanders would fare better than Clinton in hypothetical general-election matchups, an argument he has started to make on the campaign trail.

“If we’re going to get into labels, I don’t think it was “progressive” to vote against the Brady Bill five times”, she said, raising Sanders’ opposition to some gun laws popular with Democratic voters.

Clinton retorted: “A vote in 2002 is not a plan to defeat ISIS”. And I really don’t think these kinds of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you… “I will not politicize it”, he said.

He pointed to her vote as a senator to authorise the war in Iraq and the money her campaign receives from Wall Street as evidence.

He also brought up the suspicious death of Vince Foster, a deputy White House counsel who committed suicide in 1993, as an example of a Clinton scandal that didn’t hold water. “We have to look at the threats that we face right now”.
