“Now that I think we’ve resolved your data, we’ve agreed on an independent inquiry, we should move on”. “When we look at these complex questions I wish it could be either-or”, she said.

Sanders also took a shot at the DNC for its decision to shut off his campaign’s access to the database, calling it an “egregious act”.
“I think we need a forceful advocate for the children, for teenagers, for the little children, to deal with the dysfunction child care system, and I think my wife would do a great job to help us accomplish those goals”, Sanders said.
Data and IT are uncomfortable topics for Clinton, who was the center of an uproar after it was revealed she used a personal email account and server while secretary of state. This is a result, he said, of “flip-flopping” by Sanders and Clinton.
“The United States at the same time can not successfully fight Assad and ISIS”, he 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.
The candidates differed slightly in how they would address gun-related regulations.
The former secretary of state further praised Sanders for shifting his position slightly on firearms-related issues, but urged the senator to support congressional Democrats’ gun control legislation.
O’Malley, meanwhile, painted himself as the toughest candidate on so-called gun control and blasted his opponents’ records on the issue.
The candidates blasted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s comments regarding Muslims. The political neophyte tops most Republican national polls and is putting establishment candidates like Jeb Bush in knots.
“He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter”. “I worry greatly that the rhetoric coming from the Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, is sending a message to Muslims here in the United States and literally around the world that there is a clash of civilizations”, which “fans the flames of radicalization”.
One of the sharpest exchanges at the debate came when Clinton and Sanders discussed their drastically different approaches on foreign policy.
The country will rise to the challenge of the IS extremists, but only if Americans never surrender their values “to the fascist pleas of billionaires with big mouths”. His campaign later said it had suspended two more aides. Thus there’s no way to compare how much money she’s received from students and teachers or from people associated with Wall Street banks. “Let’s create an America that works for all of us, not the handful on top”, said Bernie Sanders, who is seeking Democratic presidential nominee. But Hillary Clinton did everything she needed to do to stay ahead.
When asked what role her husband, former President Bill Clinton, would play as the first spouse if she was elected president, Clinton offered that she would likely remain in charge of some duties that have historically been delegated to first ladies, like choosing flowers or china for state dinners.
While there was broad agreement among the Democratic contenders that the USA should not launch a ground war to defeat the Islamic State, they differed in the tactics they would take and whether the nation should seek regime change in Syria, where IS has a stronghold.

She also said that she has advocated for a no-fly zone in Syria in order to create a safe haven for refugees inside Syria against both Assad and ISIL.
