Sanders campaign suspends 2 more staffers after data breach

Sanders, seeking to bite into Clinton’s big lead in polls of Democratic voters, criticized her for supporting the speedy departure of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has resisted all diplomatic efforts to leave power with a civil war raging in his country and swathes of territory controlled by Islamic State, also known as ISIS.

Sanders said he was sorry, Clinton accepted his apology, and that was that. His campaign later said it had suspended two more aides.

“I say this with due respect, I worry too much Secretary Clinton is too much into regime change… without knowing what the consequences will be”, said Sanders, a US senator from Vermont.

There may only have been three candidates, but there was no shortage of unforgettable exchanges in Saturday night’s debate.

On Friday, Sanders filed a lawsuit to force the DNC to restore access to his voter files, which it had blocked after the Sanders campaign improperly accessed files generated by the Clinton campaign.

He said that the Democratic Party’s decision to temporarily suspend his campaign’s access to the strategically crucial database was “an egregious act”.

O’Malley said the lack of progress on gun safety is due to the “flip-flopping political approach in Washington” represented by Clinton and Sanders.

U.S. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton vowed on Saturday not to raise taxes on middle-class Americans if elected next November in a populist push to position herself for a general election battle on pocketbook issues.

Sanders noted that the individual involved in the incident has been fired and that anyone else found to be involved will also be terminated from the campaign.

Mrs Clinton, leading polls in the nomination fight, attacked Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump several times, chiefly for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. “They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam Muslims in order to recruit”, Clinton said. And when she said she understood that people are fearful after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, she pivoted to attack Trump.

“I was not the secretary of state”, Sanders said. Bringing up Trump allows her to present herself as a serious figure who would smoothly move into the White House and represent the USA around the globe. “The troops on the ground should not be American troops”, Sanders said, saying that he would put pressure on Saudi Arabia and Qatar to put troops into Syria. In an August 25 op-ed for Foreign Policy, the USA senator from Florida offered his rationale: “The United States should work with our allies, both Arab and European, to impose a no-fly zone over parts of Syria that will prevent Assad’s air force from dropping barrel bombs and chlorine gas bombs on civilian neighborhoods”.

“To tell Saudi Arabia that instead of going to war in Yemen, they, one of the wealthiest countries on earth are going to have to go to war with ISIL”, Sanders said.

Clinton portrayed herself as the most seasoned candidate on foreign policy, arguing “these are all hard issues” that she’s been dealing with for “a very long time”. As for Martin O’Malley, professional, but hardly captured the imagination.

“And in our party, unlike the Republican party, we actually believe that the more our people learn, the more they will earn”. Elizabeth Warren. The prospect of Warren backing Sanders is the one thing that could throw a major roadblock in the path of Clinton’s coronation. “So Hillary and I have a difference”. Sanders said Clinton will get millions of dollars in donations from Wall Street, but he will not.

Where the Republican debate focused nearly exclusively on the threat of terrorism, the Democrats also sought to broaden the discussion to other issues that are priorities to voters.
