Of the likely Democratic voters surveyed who watched it, Clinton was declared the victor of Tuesday night’s debate, 54% to 24% for Sanders. There were moments of despair for both, too. The Sanders campaign clearly knows that the road to the White House involves much more than sound policy. We have massive wealth and income inequality.

Sanders took advantage of the screen-time to bolster his innovative campaign model, which relies heavily on a large volume of small donations from individual supporters across the country. And 36% said they were bothered by concerns about her use of a private email server-a high number for a poll that sampled Democrats. When Sanders raised his voice to Clinton stating “the American people are sick and exhausted of hearing about your damn emails”, he wrote, the room erupted in laughter and applause.
Biden, who is still mulling whether to mount a late challenge to Clinton, was the pick of about 11% of New Hampshire Democratic voters overall.
Aside from Cooper, Sanders and Clinton, Webb never called out any of the people in charge of the debate by name. But Clinton appears to have picked up the support of a number of undecided voters, increasing her support from 44% to 52%.
“I voted against it. I was in the Senate at the same time”.
Among other issues, the candidates addressed the Black Lives Matter movement, which has seen criticism from GOP candidates like neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who said it had been “bullying people” in an interview with CBS News. Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, even lower in the polls than Mr. Webb, spoke for just 9 minutes and 5 seconds, according to the NPR log.
“We did it by leading with principle, not by pandering to the NRA and backing down to the NRA”, O’Malley said.
Reporters flocked around Sanders, Perticone wrote, offering him very little room as he answered questions. This Tuesday night was no exception.

Tharpe also weighed in on comments former Vermont U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders made about mass incarceration. Clinton faces a slow-drip of email news, a result of a court order mandating monthly releases of her correspondence. “Bernie’s big base of small donors may give again and again”. Also, Trump pointed out that the debate moderators and others on stage could have caused Clinton more problems than they did.
