Sanders’ comments appear to reverse the stance he took last month during the first Democratic presidential debate.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking “valid questions” about whether Hillary Clinton violated laws and compromised classified information by using a private email system as secretary of state, Sanders said in a new interview.
“Clinton is clearly seen as the most electable by the S.C. Democratic Primary likely voters”, says Winthrop Poll Director Scott Huffmon, “but a strong showing by Sanders, especially in New Hampshire, could go a long way with changing SC Democrats’ views about his general election chances”.
“There’s an investigation going on right now”, Sanders told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
“And I want to make sure that I can look into the eyes of any middle-class American and say, ‘This will help raise your wages.’ And I concluded I could not”.
The ad uses footage from an October 5 town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, where Clinton said she would pursue expanded background checks and take steps to hold manufacturers accountable for crimes committed with their weapons. Sanders comes up as a second choice by 37 percent of respondents, but a fourth of respondents said they are undecided.
He replied: “Blue’s a popular color in this county”, and Clinton cheered along with the crowd, many of whom were wearing blue, which has become a symbolic color for Democrats. That’s true. At the end of the day, Hillary Clinton and I have very disagreements, but when you listen to the Republican debate, I sometimes wonder what world they are living in.
In the wide-ranging interview, Kimmel asked Clinton about everything from the Republican debates to what title former President Bill Clinton would carry if she won the White House. After an unexpected rise to formidability in the Democratic primary over the last few months, his campaign is shifting into targeted messages to appeal to specific demographics that he is speaking to, according to the Boston Globe.
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday stated in her most clear language yet that she supports a $12 an hour minimum wage, which falls short of the level sought by many labor unions but is higher than the one favored by President Obama. If he’d said “The investigation should proceed unimpeded” during the debate, he might not have gotten such a round of applause, but at least he’d still be in the race. The Sanders campaign has made a big show of promising not to go “negative” in this campaign.
“I’m going to think about that, so when I come we can actually talk about it and I’ll give you my best thoughts because I know how important it is for communities to have that sense of belonging and connection that a school provides, so I’m going to come”, Clinton said.
