Actually, Sheryl Crow was a close second loser for her rendition of the National Anthem before the debate.

The former senator was listed as a “loser” of the debate by CNN.
So I start watching the debate and instantly two things stood out. I hadn’t yet seen jihad with my own eyes, and when I did I felt deep shame that I’d linked my ideological opponents in any way to evil, murderous savages. What it means for Jim Webb and candidates like him, serious people who deserve to be heard, is obscurity. But it never occurred to me he would be a mostly party-line Democrat and Harry Reid loyalist, independent only by the partisan standards of today’s Congress. They wanted to talk about issues that were important 10 and 15 years ago, but they wanted to talk about issues! Other Dems like a candidate like Clinton, who sees Republicans as a foe to be defeated and worthy of contempt. “Very good reception.” On Wednesday, Chafee took to Twitter to boast that Grammarly, a grammar-check website, had ranked his followers tops in grammar in their Facebook posts, and he followed up that news with a burst of commentary on issues as varied as the Mideast, mental health and trade policy, amounting to five tweets over two days.
Over twenty UCF democrat students gathered together to watch the event. Trump is a blowhard and a bully. She also promises, if elected, to check with her advisors about which banks to intervene in, which sounds great until you start asking where they worked before and expect to work later. Even liberal Democrats could once oppose abortion and wasteful government spending, like William Proxmire, or question the benefits of continuous mass immigration, like Eugene McCarthy.
The question for Webb was always one of organization: Even if he did turn in an outstanding performance, would his small campaign have the resources to make something big of that moment? But when it was announced that a couple of the larger GOP financial backers were throwing their money behind Marco Rubio, I was not surprised by that either.
No huge surprises emerged from the debate, aside from an Amber Alert that threw viewing parties across the state into a panic.
So who will get a boost after this debate is over? Jim Webb came off as equally unelectable as Chafee, but at least we left afraid he might kill us if we date his daughter.
Lincoln Chaffee lit up like a second-grader who finally knows an answer in a class and responded, “the coal lobby”.
Webb was the only candidate on stage to take that position. Bernie just looks old, he acts old and his ideas seem inconsistent to me. After all, this isn’t a person who is besting you in a debate about gun control, or a few other social policy, over a beer.

Their answers were mostly glib. “He is just getting right to the point, and I think personally, he is bringing Hillary down”, says James Fontaine, a Sanders supporter.
