He memorably defended Clinton over criticism she had received about her private email server while at the state department – declaring “enough with the damn emails”.

Hillary Clinton tried at a Democratic forum Friday to soften her rhetoric on the death penalty and foreign policy while avoiding giving any answers that would alienate a general electorate. “There are Republicans I could pick, just none of them”.
“I would want you, if you go to the store and you have to buy something, I want it to be free”, Andrew says, clarifying the law would apply to toy stores.

Mr Sanders, who is known for despising conversation about much other than policy on the campaign trail, cracked a joke, asking Ms Maddox if she was about to ask how many pairs of underwear he owns when she warned him about the forthcoming round. “And I did not ever seriously think about running for office until 1998 when I got – or 1999, 1999 until I got convinced to run for the Senate”, she said.

But Clinton also offered a hint that she’ beginning to think about the base-broadening she’ll need to do as a general election candidate.
“Anybody who thinks that they can influence what I will do doesn’t know me very well. I want to be the president for the struggling, the striving and the successful”.
When asking Clinton about credit reform and Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ (D-CA) Fair Credit Improvement Act, Martin shared a personal example of how he didn’t get a job early in his career due to a poor credit report.
