George Clooney is a Hillary Clinton backer – but he thinks Bernie Sanders is right about the “obscene” amount of money that goes into presidential campaigns.

On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders’ favorability has slid this month also, but is still 16 points higher than Clinton on the net favorable scale. At that event, Sanders promised to release his tax returns after Clinton raised the issue.

Clinton hit 57% to Sanders’ 40% in an NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll released Friday; a similar poll earlier this week had Clinton up 14 points.

Clinton discussed clean energy and its potential to create millions of time by “recognizing we need a modern infrastructure”.

“If you’re both screaming at each other, the viewers won’t be able to hear either of you”, CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer warned during the debate, at the historic Navy Yard in the NY borough of Brooklyn.

“To have a place where we have such bad health disparity and having something with the homeless where they’re being forced from where they are, and being told they’re not a part of this city, a part of this community”, Chalkers said. “Voters see her as the ultimate politician, who will do or say anything to get elected”.

Ms Clinton has a significant lead in pledged delegates over Mr Sanders in the race for the Democratic nomination for the November presidential election.

The two had a sharp exchange in which they questioned each other’s judgment.

Clinton generated the most buzz on social media when she talked about fracking. For the Vermont senator, 55.3 percent of his mentions were positive while 53.8 percent of Clinton’s mentions were negative. Bernie Sanders want to shoot Wall Street workers.

“Describing the problem is a lot easier than trying to solve it”, Clinton said a few times during the debate, according to The Washington Post. “I thought Hillary did very well”. And the way it played out was both stunning and instructive.

The exchange was part of a heated two-hour debate in NY just five days before the state goes to the polls in critical primary contests.
