Donald Trump Demands Apology From Clinton Over ISIS Recruitment Claims

“Knowing the Clintons and knowing Hillary, she made it up”, Trump said.

Trump has come under criticism for suggesting all Muslims should be temporarily barred from entering the United States until a better picture emerges of whether pro-jihad Muslims are entering the country.

The debate occurred, perhaps not un-coincidentally, on a Saturday night at the height of the Christmas shopping rush, and on the first weekend of the release of the latest highly anticipated Star Wars movie, likely ensuring a downsized viewership compared to previous debates.

Asked by a moderator, “Should corporate America love Hillary Clinton?”, she replied, “Everybody should”, declaring “I want to be the president for the struggling, the striving and the successful”, and “I want to be a partner with the private sector”.

Bernie Sanders speaks to reporters in the media filing center after a Democratic presidential primary debate December 19 at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H. Though there were moments of tension over national security in Saturday night’s debate, Sanders failed to score a clear hit on Clinton. But I think we have got to get our foreign policies and priorities right.

The debate unfolded amid a minor scandal between the Clinton and Sanders campaigns over an apparent data breach when at least one Sanders staffer took advantage of a computer glitch to peek at Clinton voter information.

Clinton’s campaign fueled the fight Saturday before the debate by accusing the Sanders campaign of theft and issuing an open letter demanding that Sanders answer several questions about the incident. “I think we’ve got a great track record of real progress on a whole range of fronts”. The DNC backed down after Sanders filed suit, but the Sanders campaign has accused party leadership of trying to thwart the Vermont senator’s bid. There are a lot of factors involved in that. Such people “will be our early warning signal”, she said, ignoring the fact that groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) aggressively encourage Muslims not to cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“Well first of all, there is proof because many people saw that happen, Matt, as you know”, Trump said. “So if they’re going to use it you wouldn’t see it just yet”, he said.

Despite the détente embraced by Sanders and Clinton, O’Malley complained about the “bickering back and forth”, declaring it “is not the politics of higher goal that people expect from our party”.

Sanders would make up that lost government money by providing free tuition, paid for with a tax on financial transactions.

The effort was the most spirited yet by Sanders as the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary near.

THE FACTS: Obama’s law was mainly about expanding coverage for the uninsured, and even former officials of his administration say major work still has to be done on cost control.

Sanders did not follow their lead.
