Democrats differ on Islamic State fight in third debate
Two more staffers working for Vermont Sen. Sanders’ camp called all this overreaction and proof of the DNC’s long-running favoritism toward Clinton.

While the Democrats united against Trump, Sanders clashed at length with Clinton over how to tackle extremism, opposing her call for a no-fly zone over Syria and for focusing on ousting that country’s President Bashar Al-Assad.
“No, because I think that my words represent toughness and strength”, he said before doubling back down on his insults of Clinton”.
This weekend’s Democratic debate had little trouble winning a television ratings battle against a lineup of other networks’ reruns.
While there was broad agreement among the Democratic contenders that the U.S. 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.
One of the sharpest exchanges at the debate came when Clinton and Sanders discussed their drastically different approaches on foreign policy. Given that, the idea that these debates were deliberately scheduled to limit the number of people who might see them begins to sound plausible, as does the idea that the Democratic National Committee has been putting its thumb on the scale for Hillary Clinton since the beginning of this process.
I’d like to say I’m sorry that I missed the big Democrat debate in New Hampshire last night, but I’m really not sorry at all. But he said that Clinton is sticking by her claim.
The DNC had temporarily blocked access to voter data it stores after several campaign staffers accessed proprietary data belonging to Clinton’s campaign.
“Mr. Trump has a great capacity to use bluster and bigotry to inflame people”, said Clinton, the former secretary of state. He called both Clinton and Sanders flip-floppers during a discussion on gun control and invoked his youth, while talking about ISIL: “May I offer a different generation’s perspective on this?” He said the two weren’t fired “because we are still assessing the situation”. By pledging to avoid any hike in taxes on those earning less than $250,000 a year, Clinton strengthened herself for her likely fall encounter with the other side.
He also pointed out three times that he voted against the Iraq war in 2002 because he “thought unilateral military action would not produce the results that were necessary, and would lead to the kind of unraveling and instability that we saw in the Middle East”.
Sanders said he anxious that Clinton is “too much into regime change and a little bit too aggressive without knowing what the unintended consequences might be”.
Clinton also directly attacked Sanders’ plans for a national single-payer health care system and free college tuition, intimating they are too generous for the country to support. “I mean, she made it up”.
Many fact checkers and national security experts have been unable to verify Clinton’s claim.
“The greed of Wall Street is destroying this economy and is destroying the lives of millions of Americans”, Sanders said. “So Hillary and I have a difference”. First of all, the Jets were playing the Cowboys and they beat them in a thriller that went down to the final 30 seconds or so.
Meanwhile, Sanders is trying to focus on his campaign with just six weeks until voting begins with the Iowa caucuses, followed soon after by the New Hamsphire primary.
Sanders’ campaign has tried to turn a misdeed into a strength, saying his underdog campaign was being held “hostage” by a party leadership that’s in the tank for Clinton.

For Clinton, who has a commanding lead of 20 points or more in most national polls, the question was whether she would try to capitalize on the incident.
