How Hillary Clinton Knocked Carly Fiorina on Paid Family Leave
The Democratic presidential candidates will duke it out Tuesday during the party’s first debate.
And she even took that opportunity to take another shot at Sanders when the Vermont senator noted he doesn’t support sending ground troops into Syria.
Clinton, 67, said Sanders, 74, had not been tough enough on the issue and said he had voted against a provision that would have held gun manufacturers more accountable.
In a Gallup poll from this summer, voters also ranked the economy and health care as most important.
But more significant was what happened in the other direction.
It’s unclear if Clinton is still vulnerable to those attacks.
But of course Clinton being Clinton, she had to immediately clarify that with, “I love Denmark”.

Not much about the debate stirred the crowd a few miles away at UNLV’s Richard Tam Alumni Center.
Independent voters, a weakness for Clinton, will be a big factor in the election, but not necessarily the first debate.
The crowd roared and Clinton beamed. She said she feels as though this debate will “lay the framework for how each candidate thinks on the issues”.
Clinton in the closing noted how their debate was a “stark contrast” to the Republicans.
Sanders was Sanders, barely deviating from a script that’s gotten him farther than nearly anyone expected he could get.
