For the first time in a long time, in her life spent in the public eye, Hillary Clinton looked like she was enjoying herself.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may be facing a lot of trouble for her private email server, but she’s not letting the scandal take away her sense of humor.

“It’s not about emails or servers either. I won’t play politics with national security”. “I believe very deeply in what Franklin Roosevelt was about, what John Kennedy was about, and that’s why I choose to be a Democrat, not just in presidential years, but all the years of my life”, O’Malley said.

As for O’Malley, he told the Detroit News what he’d do next.

Relaxed and energetic, the Democratic frontrunner turned to her policy prescriptions, focusing on the topic that is fast becoming the theme of this election campaign: recapturing the American Dream by rebalancing the inequality of wealth. Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb, the fifth declared candidate in the Democratic race, did not attend the event.

“Well, of course education would definitely be one of mine and I definitely don’t want us to get into another war, so those are things for sure”, Tull said.

Regarding his appeal in student-centric college towns like Ann Arbor, O’Malley said he thought his track record as governor of Maryland would set him apart, pointing to issues like climate change, same-sex marriage and immigration. Tom Harkin, a party luminary who served three decades in the Senate, and the worldwide Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, a union of almost 600,000 members.

She addressed the costs of university education, in an apparent attempt to knock the wind out of the campaign of Bernie Sanders, her socialist Democratic rival who has been gaining on her – and in some places overtaking her – in the polls.

Senator Sanders, who follows Clinton in the Iowa polls but recently edged her numbers in New Hampshire, came out with enthusiasm and asked supporters to engage in what he calls a “political revolution”.

Larry Schrodder, 77, of Clear Lake likes what Bernie Sanders is saying.

“I did not want money coming into my campaign or a super PAC from millionaires and billionaires”.

“But for now, I’m working for Bernie”, he said.
