Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
“That is why we have troops in Iraq that are helping to train and build back up the Iraqi military, why we have special operators in Syria working with the Kurds and Arabs so that we can be supportive”, she said.
As the most experienced candidate by far, last week’s attacks on Beirut and Paris should have given Ms. Clinton an advantage over her opponents as the debate opened with a discussion about foreign policy; instead, she had to spend a lot of energy separating herself from the unpopular policies of the Obama administration.
Mayor Bill de Blasio defended Hillary Clinton’s claims in Saturday night’s debate that her donations from large financial institutions do not compromise her independence and that they are a result of her representing NY as a senator in the days following 9/11.
Bernie Sanders: “I’m not that much of a socialist compared to Eisenhower”, referring to the 91 percent top income tax rate in the 1950s. Where were we attacked? “It was good for the economy, and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country”.

Both Sanders and O’Malley support reinstating the law known as Glass-Steagall, which once separated commercial and investment banks.
Sanders, who met earlier in the day with family caregivers, also called on Clinton to support legislation he’s co-sponsored that would provide three months paid leave if an employee has a child.
“The secretary is really looking for something that is broader and stronger than an 80-year-old law”, Gensler said. A few financial watchdog groups have said the repeal was part of the financial deregulations that worsened the 2008 financial crisis.
