Sanders dismissed the idea that he had endorsed her use of a private server during the debate. Sanders has signaled a more confrontational approach with Clinton, raising questions in an interview published Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal about the front-runner’s “character”, citing her inconsistency on the Asia trade deal and pledges to regulate Wall Street despite receiving “large sums of money” from financial institutions.

Sanders insisted, however, that he did not regret his comment during the earlier encounter, suggesting that statements made in the heat of a debate are easily misinterpreted.
“You get 12 seconds to say these things”, Sanders tells the Wall Street Journal. Theres an investigation going on right now. He followed up by asserting that he did not say that the investigation should end.
Late-night comedy shows have been a staple for presidential candidates for years, allowing them to display a looser side for a younger audience that might not find time for a presidential debate. “Bernie’s never gone there and I don’t see us going there in the crusade unless it gets incredibly nasty and they make outrageous accusations about him”, Devine stated.
Sanders noted on MSNBC this week that Clinton has gotten her numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire by dropping millions on campaign ads, while he so far hadn’t “spent a nickel”. At one point during the debate, Sanders talked about a rural-urban divide amongst gun owners and how this much be bridged if we are to have sensible reforms.
The poll found that 71 percent of likely Democratic primary voters would vote for Clinton, while 15 percent said they would vote for Sen.
He contrasted “rural” and “urban” views on guns; that, goes the charge, was code about whites vs. blacks.
Hillary Clinton has used guns as a way to differentiate herself from Bernie Sanders, an issue where she stands to the left of him politically.
The line drew lengthy applause and prompted a handshake of gratitude from Clinton, whose candidacy had been weighed down by questions about the personal email server she used while acting as the country’s top diplomat.
A Monmouth poll of likely Democratic caucusgoers released last week has Clinton holding a 41-point lead in Iowa, with the former secretary receiving 65 percent support compared to Sanders’ 24 percent.
Sanders leads Trump by nine points, 50 percent to 41 percent (versus Clinton’s eight-point advantage), and he’s ahead of Rubio by five points, 46 percent to 41 percent (versus Clinton’s three-point lead). “Let it play itself out”, Sanders said.
Polls go up and down and most aren’t worth the paper they are reported on.

In Atlanta last week the Clinton campaign unveiled a nationwide “African-Americans for Hillary” initiative; she also spoke in the Palmetto State at an NAACP dinner last Friday. When asked about this, she said she knew nothing of it. The emails underlying this are in the public domain.
