Democratic debate: Sanders apologizes; focus on Trump
- 8 years ago
Bernie Sanders apologized for his aides' breach of Hillary Clinton's proprietary voter data in the opening moments of Saturday's Democratic debate - and Clinton dropped the issue.
The two Democratic presidential hopefuls opted not to air out what has become a messy fight between their campaigns in front of the cameras as they met along with Martin O'Malley in Manchester, New Hampshire, for their third debate of the 2016 race.
Instead, Sanders opened the two-and-a-half hour debate by looking at Clinton and saying: "Yes.
I'm sorry."
His comment provided a memorable start to a debate that also saw Sanders, Clinton and O'Malley trade blows on taxes, health care and guns - while agreeing on their distaste for Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner.
