Democratic GOP clashes show diverging electoral horizons
In Washington the Democratic and Republican debates highlighted different timeframes with Democrats focusing on November’s general election while Republicans fret over February primaries. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders kept shots restrained, praising shifts on gun control and Syria, while Republican infighting and talk of third party bids raised fears of a split vote benefiting Democrats. Clinton pressed against Islamic State threats with a broader air and special forces plan, as Sanders nudged for caution on aggression. Both sides warned of a tough fall race despite early party unity instincts.
