Sanders Campaign Suspends 2 Staffers Involved in Voter-Data Breach

The breach by Sanders’s aides of Clinton’s proprietary voter data was also expected to be one of the hot topics of the debate but the candidates preferred to ease the heightened tension.

As expected, terrorism dominated much of the discussion.

Sanders likely needs a win in both states to mount a serious challenge to Clinton, who will be heavily favored in the next state contests in Nevada, South Carolina and in a “Super Tuesday” round of voting in 11 states on March 1.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remains a frontrunner.

Sanders was less convincing as a potential president.

“He talked about his record of gun control in Maryland, how he passed comprehensive gun safety legislation and talked about how the other candidates don’t have as strong of a record on that issue”, O’Malley supporter John Vodrey said.

Hillary Clinton responded that she wants to “do both at once”. On issue after issue, she wouldn’t be rattled.

“Regime change is easy”.

The Democratic National Committee on Thursday temporarily suspended the Sanders campaign’s access to the party’s voter database after the breach was discovered. He conceded his staff “did the wrong thing”, but blasted the DNC for moving Friday to cut off his campaign’s access to even its own information on the database. “It was pretty outrageous”, Wasserman Schultz said on CNN yesterday afternoon, hours after the deal to reinstate Sanders’ voter data access had been reached.

Weaver said it only became possible for his campaign to make the suspensions on Saturday, after the campaign received vendor NGP VAN’s audit logs of activity by Sanders campaign accounts during Wednesday’s incident. Sanders fired a staffer for accessing the data. “It is ISIS”, he said, adding that Clinton was “too much into regime change” that ended up creating power vacuums in the Middle East. O’Malley, too, said that “we shouldn’t be the ones declaring Assad must go”. She then urged the moderators to move on, which was seconded by Martin O’Malley, who criticized the back-and-forth bickering. Clinton rejects the question though, saying the U.S.is in a position to lead an air strike and continue to build on that.

But Sanders takes great offense to this – and he gives maybe his most passionate response yet on gun control.

But Mr O’Malley accused of two rivals of “flip-flopping” in Washington over gun ownership restrictions.

Hillary Clinton says everyone should love her – including corporate America.

His rivals chafed at O’Malley’s criticisms.

“Let’s tell the truth, Martin”, Mrs Clinton chimed in.

Sanders leads Clinton, 48 percent to 43.8 percent, in New Hampshire, according to the latest RealClearPolitics poll average.

9 p.m. Clinton is the first to hit a GOP candidate by name earlier and she returns again to hit Trump, saying his drastic proposals are actually hurting the USA and is becoming “ISIS’s best recruiter”.

Sanders called for Muslim-majority countries to put more weight into the fight against Islamic extremism. “Sorry”, she said, to some laughter.

‘Somebody’s loading guns and ammunition into a house, I think it’s a good idea to call 9/11.
