The second debate for Democrats seeking their party’s nomination for the November 2016 presidential election focused heavily on foreign policy and ways to combat terrorism after the Paris attacks.

During the debate, Clinton also was asked about a December 2014 speech in which she said it’s important to show “respect even for one’s enemy” and to try to “empathize with their perspective and point of view”. Sanders essentially said those firms expect a return on their investment, and he was exactly right.
Wait a minute”, she replied, “he has basically used his answer to impugn my integrity.
The network’s debate coverage, which aired from 9 to 11 p.m. ET, was the most watched program of the night.
The day after a series of bomb and gun attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris, Sanders linked Clinton’s U.S. Senate vote authorizing the Iraq invasion to the regional chaos that followed.
“I want you to think big, not small”, Sanders told the college students. “I think it’s premature to say the exact numbers”, he said, but he called for an increase in the number of “special operators on the ground”.
After Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) hit Clinton for her Wall Street ties at Saturday night’s Democratic debate, she went on defense in a manner that surprised many onlookers.

“I represented NY, and I represented NY on 9/11 when we were attacked”. Where were we attacked? “I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild”. Wall Street knows full well that regardless as to what Clinton proposes, serious regulation on their industry isn’t coming – not while Republicans control Congress. This frees Clinton up to put forward a few actually-decent ideas about how to regulate the industry – ideas that, if implemented, may actually make the stock market look less like Vegas and more like an actual market – without her donors fearing that those proposals will actually take effect under a Clinton administration. “And places like Seattle, like Los Angeles, like NY City, they can go higher”. “And it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country”. “You know, maybe they’re dumb and they don’t know what they’re going to get, but I don’t think so”, the senator continued. According to federal financial disclosure forms, Bill Clinton was paid $125,000 by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in February 2001 – just weeks after leaving the White House – and was paid another $125,000 by Credit Suisse First Boston later that same month.
