FILE - In this Oct. 13, 2015, file photo, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, right, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speak during the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas. Taunted by Republicans to declare war on ?radical Islamic terrorism,? Democrats are turning to an unlikely ally: George W. Bush. President Barack Obama, under pressure to be more aggressive on terrorism, regularly cites his predecessor?s refusal to demonize Muslims or play into the notion of a clash between Islam and the West. As Clinton put it, ?George W. Bush was right.? And, Sanders visited a mosque this month in a show of solidarity that evoked Bush?s visit to a Muslim center just days after 9/11.
