After the second Democratic Party debate Clinton remains the overwhelming favourite to get the nomination

Comments 0 Comment

Last night we had the second Democratic Party Presidential debate and the tragic events of Paris were discussed. Clinton’s past record came under scrutiny, first her support for the 2003 Iraq War (which Sanders said helped the rise of ISIS) and her tenure as Secretary of State. She came through all of this largely unscathed. Where she made a mistake was when the issue of the large donations she’s received from Wall Street, she said it was down to the 9/11 attacks and her being the Senator for New York at the time.

My feeling is the only thing that will stop Hillary Clinton becoming the nominee will be if she is charged in relation her private email scandal. In the debate itself Bernie Sanders didn’t seem to think it had any potency, he said “We’ve gotten off Hillary’s emails. Good. Let’s go to the major issues facing America.” If ISIS and Foreign Affairs in general becomes a major issue in this primary cycle then this should favour Clinton and damage those anyone who doesn’t like a credible Commander in Chief.
