Not many minutes had passed in Saturday night’s Democratic presidential debate before the issue that was expected to supply some drama had been raised, addressed and dismissed.

Wolverines embarrass Gators in Citrus Bowl
In the end, if Florida can muster up three touchdowns, Jim McElwain should notch his first bowl victory with the team . Leading by 10 at the half, MI scored on each of its first two possessions in the third quarter to take a 31-7 lead.
Bernie Sanders may have gotten access to the Democratic National Committee’s voter data system again and even apologized to Hillary Clinton onstage at the third Democratic debate, but the data breach fracas isn’t ending anytime soon. The DNC shut off the Sanders’ campaign access to the database, including its own data, and some Clinton staff spoke of theft and the breaking of laws.

The two starred together on the 1970s series, with Rogers portraying Trapper John McIntyre alongside Alda’s Hawkeye Pierce. After M.A.S.H., Rogers became a successful businessman – founding an investment strategy firm and a production company.
Government sources and intelligence experts tell ABC News there is no evidence to support Clinton’s claim that ISIS recruiters are “going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam”. Mr Trump fired back on that point, tweeting overnight that MS Clinton had “lied”.
Clemson vs Alabama for college title
The Mountaineers – wrongly – tried to remind everybody that the last time Clemson was in the Orange Bowl it didn’t work out. Quarterback Jake Coker found Calvin Ridley for two TDs as Alabama broke the shackles in the 2nd quarter and won in a canter.
Viewers reached a total of 6.71 million for the evening, with about the same rating in Nielsen’s “metered markets” as the second debate last month, also held on a Saturday.
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday fiercely rejected claims by Hillary Clinton that footage of his anti-Muslim comments was being used for ISIS recruitment videos. Sanders argued that Clinton is “too much into regime change”, and expressed concern for “unintended consequences” that could come from such aggressive actions.
“It’s very clear that we have a distinct difference between those of us on this stage tonight and all of our Republican counterparts”, she said.
“Now, this is getting to be fun”, said Sanders, after Clinton resisted efforts by the moderators to cut her off during a dispute over taxes.
Although Sanders’ aides feel his problem with older voters is familiarity, conversations with seniors backing Clinton show it is actually her electability and their loyalty to the Clinton family that put the former secretary of state over the edge. However Clinton argued in favor of the deployment of special operations forces which she said was not comparable to sending a large number of troops into Afghanistan or Iraq.
“Regime change is easy”.
And she disagreed with Sanders’ assertion that the US military should prioritize the fight against Islamic State over working to get Assad to leave power, saying both should be done at the same time.
He ended his debate performance by congratulating Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, for doing “an outstanding job” as first lady.
If the Sanders revolution had been frozen out of the voter data file, it could have been a wreck for his campaign – the fight giving him loads of attention but no tools to do anything with it. But instead he got his voter access restored at the 11th hour Friday night, after his campaign was able to whip his liberal base into a frenzy.
“It’s very important we operate on both at the same time”.
“We should move on because I don’t think the American people are all that interested in this”, Clinton said.
