With each new debate, the presidential candidates are coming closer to getting the Jordanian king’s name right.
Sanders also says he wants to make “secondary” the fight against Syrian leader Bashar Assad and focus exclusively on defeating the Islamic State.
Sanders apologized to both Clinton and his own supporters for the actions of staff in a data breach that has roiled the Democratic campaign for president in the past 24 hours.
Sanders subsequently apologized to Clinton and to his own supporters for the breach of data. Clinton countered that Sanders, too, had supported regime change in Libya.
“What we need on this issue is not more polls”, he said.
The candidates also addressed Sanders’ campaign accessing voter records from Clinton’s campaign, which caused a significant dust-up among Democrats on Friday. “Because I don’t think the American people care all that much”. But our latest poll shows that more Americans believe arming people, not stricter gun laws, is the best defense against terrorism.
But Sanders’ apology overshadowed an attack he leveled just seconds earlier at Clinton and the Democratic National Committee for their handling of the situation.
“Can we stick to gun control?”
The candidates blasted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s comments regarding Muslims.
Clinton contended that due to his remarks, Trump is now a major recruiting tool for ISIS.
“We must work more closely with Muslim-American communities”.
O’Malley further stressed that “we must…never surrender our Americans values to racist, must never surrender to the fascist pleas of billionaires with big mouths”.
Sanders doesn’t blink before answering whether Wall Street’s going to like a Sanders presidency.
Sanders was contrite, Clinton, the former Secretary of State, urged moving on.
The former first lady fired back, saying most of her campaign contributions are from small donors. He added “I am not convinced that information from our campaign did not end up in her campaign”.
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley gathered at 5 p.m. PST at St. Anselm College for the debate, hosted by ABC.
Clinton agrees with Obama on the need to use special forces and trainers but, like the president, she has said a large deployment of US ground forces in the Middle East would be counterproductive.
Clinton vowed that her husband Bill will be called in for “special missions, for advice, for ideas on how to get the economy back on track, which he knows a thing or two about”.

“Obviously we were distressed when we learned of it, because we’ve worked very hard”, Hillary said.
