The much anticipated conflict over a breach of Clinton campaign data by Sanders’ aides never emerged-turning instead into a kumbaya moment when Clinton accepted Sanders’ apology.
Spokesman Michael Briggs says the two were suspended hours after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) turned over data logs that they had been asking for days.
Polls have consistently shown a growing age gap in the fight for the Democratic nomination: Older Democrats have lined up with 68-year old Hillary Clinton, while younger voters are so far choosing to stand behind Sanders, the 74-year old self-described democratic socialist. Sanders’ campaign fired a worker involved in the breach but also used the controversy to raise money, sending an email to supporters that said the national party had placed “its thumb on the scales in support of Hillary Clinton’s campaign”. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has not still responded to the report. That’s a message in keeping with his anti-establishment pitch to beleaguered voters and a way to connect with supporters who believe the DNC devised its shortened, six-debate plan to benefit Clinton.

Understanding that Trump is accusing Clinton of something that he himself is often culpable of, let us take a look at any basis for her comment and what it could mean for her campaign.
The “Real Change” ad, billed by Sanders’ campaign as the first major Nevada TV blitz by a 2016 White House candidate, highlights the Vermont independent’s biography and advocacy for “working families and for principle”.
The party said in a statement in September that it would not “unilaterally disarm” while pursuing campaign finance reforms.
“They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists”, she said.
We need to make sure, Clinton said at the debate, that Trump’s more hateful rhetoric doesn’t “fall in receptive ears” overseas. “But there is a broad consensus on gun safety regulation”, Sanders said, calling for background checks for potential gun owners and the closure of loopholes that allow easier purchases at gun shows.
Clinton has started to climb again, but Sanders’ numbers keep going up, too. The mayor of Baltimore before he went to the governor’s mansion, O’Malley lashed out at “the flip-flopping, political approach of Washington that both of my two colleagues on this stage have represented there for the last 40 years”.
“Thank you, good night, and may the force be with you”, she said. Tom Harkin’s candidacy, to 2008, when she lost to Obama because of his innate appeal and the opposition within the state’s liberal-leaning Democratic party to her now-retracted support for the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. After a heated back-and-forth with Clinton over healthcare and higher education, Sanders remarked: “Now this is getting to be fun”. “That is a pledge that I’m making”, she said.
