Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders squared off Thursday night in the most heated and dramatic Democratic presidential debate of the 2016 cycle, battling it out at a two-hour prime-time event on CNN that exposed fundamental differences in their candidacies and campaign styles. “If you’re going to look at the problems that actually caused the great recession, you’ve got to looks at the full picture”.
CNN said Thursday’s debate ranked 7th among Democratic debates this presidential cycle.
Sanders delivered first opening statement where he accused Clinton of “lacking the kind of judgment we need to be the kind of president we need”.
Pinkett said he had contacted former “apprentices” and said their effort was independent and timed to precede NY state’s crucial primary election on Tuesday. They made charitable contributions totaling $8,350.
It seemed unlikely their effort would dent Trump’s comfortable advantage in NY opinion polls against rivals Ohio Gov. John Kasich and U.S. Sen.
Polls show Clinton is likely to defeat Sanders in ny. Trump needs a win to further his drive toward the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination, and avoid a contested July convention that could sow Republican chaos. The share of his family’s income that went to charity was about half the percentage of income that his primary opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, gave to charitable groups.
Clinton served as a NY senator for eight years and Brooklyn is the location of her campaign headquarters, while Sanders was born and raised in the borough.
Clinton leads Sanders by 251 bound delegates to the July Democratic convention, where 2,383 delegates will be needed for the nomination. Her lead balloons to nearly 700 when the support of superdelegates – party leaders who are free to back any candidate – are added. “I stood up to the behavior of the banks when I was a senator”.
Sanders responded by saying he has known Clinton for 25 years and they had worked together in the senate.
“This is a phony attack that is created to raise questions when there is no evidence or support”, she said.
When asked to name a single policy decision Clinton made as senator that showed she was favouring the banks, Sanders said that when the “greed and recklessness and illegal behaviour of Wall Street” led to the financial crisis, he had called on the big banks to be broken up – while Clinton was “busy giving speeches to Goldman Sachs”.

“It’s not a laughing matter”, she said.
