Speaking after an unrelated in Queens, Mr.de Blasio stood up for the Democratic front-runner, who he endorsed in October after demurring for months.
In one of the more notable exchanges of the night, Clinton and Sanders clashed over how best to regulate Wall Street (U.S. economic powers).
Clinton & Co. clearly thought they’d found a way to spin cordiality with downtown financiers as something positive for the public – and thus counter suspicions she’d be susceptible as president to what detractors see as excessive Wall Street clout. “So certainly personal relationships developed”.
And will they be more concerned about climate change than ISIS? “Our agenda is the most progressive in terms of demanding that Wall Street, large corporations and the wealthy finally start paying their fair share of taxes”, he said.
Clinton’s riskiest line was when she appeared to suggest her Wall Street ties had something to do with showing solidarity with New Yorkers attacked on 9/11.
Sanders said the US needed to lead an worldwide coalition and that the USA would “rid our planet of this barbarous organization”. I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild.

Hillary Clinton joined the foundation board after leaving the State Department in 2013.
“Whoever you are taking donations from, you can’t let it influence your thinking”. “It was clear that Clinton’s answers on terrorism, and her improved answers on domestic issues, moved undecided Iowans in striking ways, ” he said.
“I think there are plenty of powerful folks on Wall Street who fundamentally hope that what she’s trying to achieve won’t happen”.
Any bets on whether the game drew more Iowa viewers than the debate?
The day after a debate in which Democratic presidential candidates tangled over the causes of Islamic State terrorism but not how to confront it, Hillary Rodham Clinton offered a more forward-looking view of American leadership in response to the threat.
Both Sanders and O’Malley support reinstating the law known as Glass-Steagall, which once separated commercial and investment banks.
What the Democratic debate means. During the debate, Clinton questioned Sanders’ 2013 health care legislation, saying it would dismantle the law and empower Republican governors like Terry Branstad of Iowa to administer the health care system in each state. “I had a lot of folks give me donations from all kinds of backgrounds say, ‘I don’t agree with you on everything”.
