Sanders apologizes to Clinton over campaign data breach

“We’ve already had a talk about what it means to caucus”, said Bernie Sanders supporter, Katy Themm.

“Regime change is easy. But before you do that, you’ve got to think about what happens the day after”, said Sanders, a democratic socialist.

Sanders said he opposes the use of US troops on the ground to destroy ISIS, while Clinton said she would use special forces in a limited way. “We now have that”, Clinton said.

Among both Republican and Democratic contenders, King Abdullah II is considered an important figure in the struggle for stability in the Middle East. But darned if they can nail down his name.

“Yes, I apologize”, he said when asked about the controversy during the debate, but he renewed his criticism of the Democratic National Committee for freezing access to his own voter files until the issue was resolved late on Friday.

The gun control issue was pressed by O’Malley, who is far behind in the polls and needs to shake up a race increasingly tilting against him with six weeks to go until Iowa holds the first nominating contest on February 1.

Sanders’ campaign said it had suspended two aides over the matter Saturday.

While Sanders’ campaign earlier said that the breach was the work of a low level staff member, it later emerged that the campaign’s national data director, Josh Uretsky, was involved along with at least three other aides in exploiting the temporary loophole.

“Now this is getting to be fun”, a smiling Sanders declared after about an hour and a half on stage, relishing a clash with Clinton over health care, college affordability and taxes.

U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has apologised to Hillary Clinton for a data breach.

And when she described the need to build a coalition of Arab nations to fight the Islamic State, she said: “Bringing Donald Trump back into it, if you’re going to put together a coalition in the region to take on the threat of ISIS, you don’t want to alienate the very countries and people you need to be part of the coalition”.

Clinton focused on what separates Democratic candidates from the Republicans, while O’Malley, a former Maryland governor, attacked Clinton and Sanders on gun control, and said he was a new generation of leader.

“Guns in and of themselves will not make America safer”, said Hillary Clinton.

She said Islamic State militants are showing videos of billionaire tycoon Trump talking about his proposed ban as a recruitment tool.
