Bernie Sanders: Americans Are Sick Of Hearing About Hillary Clinton's 'Damn Emails'

    During the Democratic debate, there was a topic that was specifically targeting Hillary Clinton and her private emails. It has been a huge controversy throughout the past few months since she is running for president and many seemed to put this against her. During the debate, Hillary is aware of all the commotion that has been going on about it but she has owned up to it already. She doesn't try to hide it from the public because as of right now she is not guilty and her private emails aren't illegal since there isn't much evidence. When Bernie Sanders got the change to talk about it in the debate, he bluntly states "Enough of the emails. Let's talk about the real issues facing America." He states that this topic not "great politics" and everyone should be focusing on the environment, taxes, world problems.

    This affects me politically because I absolutely agree with Bernie. People became so tied up on this topic that they forgot about the real problems going on around the world. They use Hillary's private emails to put this against here in a bad way. They can't really put her at fault because they don't know if it's legal or not. As for what Bernie mentioned, we shouldn't judge someone because of a simple mistake and instead look at what they're actually try to make right for the United States.
