Who Won the Democratic Debate? Viewers Lean Toward Bernie

The final Democratic presidential debate before the first states begin voting was marked by heated exchanges between Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders on Wall Street regulation, guns and who would best preserve the legacy of President Obama. Many commentators from across the web thought that a more aggressive Mr. Sanders gave himself a boost by taking Mrs. Clinton on more forcefully. She scored points on his shifting positions on guns and taxes, but was not seen as dealing any decisive blows. Martin O'Malley, meanwhile, was most notable for his unsuccessful efforts to get a word in.

The hag is in a pickle, really. Lost the race to a Halfrican in 2008, and could possibly lose to a bald white guy older than she is. Couldn’t be more black than Obama, and she can’t out-communist a guy who was around when communism was invented. Damned is she does, damned if she doesn’t. hahahahaha

It was hilarious that Hillary bashed Trump and Trump gained more twitter followers during the debate than she did.

I’d have expected that the viewership for the debate would have been at its highest at the beginning and the end with a minimum in the middle. You know, those of us who watched to see if she’d fall walking on and off the stage?

The fact that millions of our fellow Americans could actually support either of them is what’s truly sad!

I just watched part of it. I can not imagine any of the three holding up to the rough-and-tumble that the 'pub debates have become.

One thing Sanders did that was really good, and surprising. He laid the Goldman Sachs donations on hillary very forcefully, using it to prove that she's controlled by the worst of big bank and Wall Street interests.

I thought Sanders really, really didn't like Trump. This accusation against hillary also applies to Ted Cruz, and is one of the issues that have people wondering if he (as with hillary) is free from big money interests.

The big winner is Downton Abbey. No way I could watch the “debate” while that was on.

Shouldn’t that be, “BOTH viewers lean toward Bernie.”?

Hillary knows a lot but she had nothing to offer other than to follow in Obama’s footsteps...Bernie very politely exposed Hillary’s corruption with big money, big banks...Bernie easily won the debate...But we’re in big trouble if either of them win...

I guess we fail to do our civic duty at my house. We’re not watchin that crap and we are unanimous in that.

The part I like is that democrats love to say that ‘’republicans are the party of old, white men’’. LOL Oh really?
What- Methuselah wasn’t available?

Thanks to all who do the dirty work.
