And if it is to be decided on being politically connected, it goes to Hillary. But it’s lazy for a candidate as experienced as Hillary Clinton to attack a candidate as controversial as Donald Trump with lies.

Van Gaal admits he’s struggling to motivate Man Utd
After the loss, van Gaal hinted that he may walk away, when asked if his position was under threat following another defeat. Louis van Gaal has claimed it is not his fault that Manchester United are wilting under the pressure of their winless run.
Sanders has accused Clinton of being too cozy with Wall Street and running a campaign funded by wealthy executives, charges she has rejected.

Ethan Couch is still being held in a Mexican lockup after filing a writ of amparo , which sends the case to immigration court. He is being held in a detention center in Mexico City until a judge hears arguments on whether he was rightfully detained.
To be sure, the Vermont senator continues to run well in the first two states being contested next year, trailing Clinton by about 10 points in recent polling for the February 1 Iowa caucuses and leading by roughly the same margin in polls for the February 9 New Hampshire primary. “That’s why we need to work with them, not demonize them, as the Republicans have been doing”, she said. “Yes, I apologise”, Mr Sanders said replying to a question after he acknowledged that his presidential election campaign “by mistake” intruded into the election data base of Ms Clinton.
Sunny, Dry Conditions to Begin the New Year
The break in the showers from overnight will be short-lived today as more rain developing across Texas is sliding our way. If the clouds quickly clear the metro before sunrise we’ll see some patchy fog, but the likelihood remains very low.
The third Democratic debate began with an apology from Sanders over news his staffers had improperly accessed Clinton campaign data.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: Hillary and I have a difference.
“Yes, I apologize”, he said. And you could score one more for those Democrats who would just as soon not be having these intraparty debates at all.
“If the United States does not lead, there is not another leader – there is a vacuum”, she said.
But she differed from both Sanders and O’Malley when she said the US should actively look to remove Assad from power. “They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists”, she continued, though her contention is disputed. “She is disagreeing with FDR on Social Security, LBJ on Medicare and with the vast majority of progressive Democrats in the House and the Senate, who today are fighting to end the disgrace of the United States being the only major country on Earth that doesn’t provide paid family and medical leave”, he said. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley refused to lay a glove on her over her deadly bungling of the Benghazi terrorist attack and its aftermath, her risky, illegal, email system, and the worldwide clearinghouse for bribes and future presidential favors known as the irredeemably corrupt Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation.
Her willingness to sketch out such aggressive policies suggested that Clinton feels that she’s in a strong position in the Democratic Party even if many activists are to her left on national security.
Ms Clinton also backed elements of President Barack Obama’s strategy to fight ISIS militants. Such people “will be our early warning signal”, she said, ignoring the fact that groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) aggressively encourage Muslims not to cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Despite the stunted reach of the event, there were issues of effect that pervaded the debate.
“And we finally have a UN Security Council Resolution bringing the world together to go after a political transition in Syria”, she said.
Still, Clinton made two comments that may come back in the general election.
“No @HillaryClinton – We are not “where we need to be” in fight against ISIS”, Bush said on Twitter. But after supporting Clinton in 2008 and looking at their 2016 options, the pair was drawn to Clinton, in part, because they think she can win.
That issue is sure to be a key exhibit in the Republican case that her record as secretary of state and what GOP candidates see as a disastrous period of US confusion and retreat overseas should disqualify her from being president.
