Twitter reported that it was the most tweeted-about quote of the night for both Sanders and Clinton, while it was prominently featured in numerous media reports. Bernie Sanders to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Martin O’Malley would protect Main Street from Wall Street, as would Bernie Sanders. She said she used to like billionaire businessman Donald Trump until a few things that didn’t sound too presidential started coming out of his mouth recently.

Leaving away the Democratic debate discussion, Trump also talked about his own “war” with former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, in the race for the Republican nomination.

What did we learn about the Democratic candidates that we didn’t already know? “And if so, I have to make that decision quickly.’ And last night didn’t make that choice any easier for him”.

A new poll released Friday indicates former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to hold onto a large national lead among democratic voters after her first national debate this election season.

“All the shouting in the world is not going to do what I hope all of us want, which is to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have guns”, Sanders said. But whether or not you think the scandal is actually scandalous, it’s worth noting that Clinton is sticking to her story: “What I did was allowed by the State Department”.
