Second democratic debate ties in Wall Street

Martin O’Malley said it was “pretty shameful” for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to invoke the 9/11 attacks to deflect criticism at a debate about her relationship with Wall Street.

And her assertion that her support of Wall Street in the wake of the 9/11 attacks was the biggest head-scratcher of the evening.

A notable moment came when Clinton, who’d already used the phrase “radical jihadist ideology” to characterize the Islamic State, was asked if she agreed with Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio’s use of the term “radical Islam” and replied, “I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims”. Instead of answering a question about what we should do about the Paris attacks, Mr. Sanders abruptly shifted his answer to his standard complaints about millionaires and billionaires.

“I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild”, she said.

Former president Bill Clinton and his wife Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton greet supporters at the Central Iowa Democrats Fall Barbecue Sunday, November 15, 2015, in Ames, Iowa. “It must be defeated”, Clinton said, a slight jab at Obama who said just before the Paris attacks that ISIS had been contained.

“It is a stretch”.

Sanders responded by arguing that US foreign policy in the Middle East is partly to blame for the rise of extremism there and criticized Clinton for supporting the Iraq War when she served in the U.S. Senate.

A few observers say that the moderator, John Dickerson, won last night’s debate.

Clinton hit back, saying she had the most effective strategies of anyone in the race and that she was not beholden to any special interests. “You know, getting into a position of defending Wall Street is a problem for her”.

Senator Sanders said the donations to Secretary Clinton are compromising. O’Malley, a former Governor of Maryland and Baltimore Mayor, replied: “This actually is America’s fight”.

While the candidates took each other to task, the poll showed Clinton was seen as the victor among all groups of the Democratic Party.

Adding to the discussion, Clinton said that the recent uprisings surrounding racial injustices on college campuses across the nation “reflects the deep sense of concern, even despair” that young people, particularly of color, face in America. On Saturday night, it happened-with a force that suggested Clinton rivals Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley have been lusting for the fight. Pointing to Sanders’ vote on gun legislation, she said, “That was a awful mistake”.

The survey also found 63% of viewers also said they had a more positive opinion of Sec. “Now maybe they’re dumb and they don’t know what they’re going to get, but I don’t think so”, he said.
