Clinton-Sanders Debate Ahead of Crucial New York Primary

Hillary Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate, and Bernie Sanders, her rival in the party primaries, criticized each other's programs, policies, and past decisions in a debate ahead of the New York primary elections. In the CNN debate in New York, Mr. Sanders, the senator from Vermont, again attacked Ms. Clinton, the former Secretary of State, for her vote to authorize the invasion of Iraq and criticized her fundraising from wealthy donors and investors for her campaign. Bernie Sanders questioned whether Clinton has the intelligence and experience necessary for the presidency, adding, 'Of course she does,' but has shown weakness in decision-making. In response, Hillary Clinton reiterated that attacks on her effectively criticize the policies of Barack Obama. According to the former Secretary of State, the current president has also utilized the financial resources of individuals, groups, and super PACs in his campaign. Clinton also stated that Sanders' policies lack depth and criticized his recent interview with the New York Daily News, claiming he is unable to articulate his positions on dealing with the policies of large banks. Besides 'Wall Street', the issue of gun control in America was also raised again in the debate. Ms. Clinton has repeatedly criticized Mr. Sanders' policies regarding gun control in the U.S., stating that he has made 'commitments' to the National Rifle Association regarding some of his opposition to implementing stricter gun control measures. The National Rifle Association is an organization in the United States that promotes the use, ownership, and training in the use of firearms. The two candidates again demonstrated differing approaches regarding Israel. Bernie Sanders defended his statements about the 'disproportionate' response of Israel in 2014 to missile attacks from Gaza, saying that people should be treated with respect and dignity. Sanders stated that his remarks do not mean he opposes Israel and that he is '100% supportive of Israel.' Clinton, defending Israel, asked, 'How can you run a country when you are constantly threatened by terrorist and missile attacks? You have the right to defend yourself.' Sanders said Clinton is unable to respond to his approach regarding the 'disproportionate' nature of Israel's attack, stating, 'You are projecting.' Clinton emphasized again that Sanders only raises issues and problems without offering solutions. According to Reuters, current polls indicate that in the New York primary elections, Hillary Clinton is still clearly ahead of Bernie Sanders. The outcome of the primary elections in New York could play a decisive role in the ongoing competition among Democrats. Fox News reports that among Republicans, the gap between Donald Trump, the leading candidate of the party, and his main rival, Ted Cruz, has widened to 45% to 27% of the total votes. A CBS poll shows that if Trump is designated as the Republican candidate, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party could defeat him. Among voters, Clinton could lead Trump by between 40% to 50% and Sanders by between 36% to 53%. According to this poll, Sanders can surpass Ted Cruz and John Kasich, two other Republican candidates, but Clinton can only overcome Ted Cruz and is trailing Kasich by up to 47%. In this context, after Wisconsin, the breath of Democrats is held in New York! Both Clinton and Sanders are quite hopeful; why? The change of the playing field 'proxies'; the war against the people in the streets of Iran. The first paragraph; the responsibility of the opposition and the possibility of radicalization of Iranian society. The death of the last Mossad representative in Tehran amid the Iranian crisis.
