Clinton told WCCO-TV on the day after the first Democratic presidential debate that she was only half joking when she listed Republicans among the enemies she has made in politics that she’s most proud of.

Trump, who often takes to Twitter to share his message, live tweeted the event, tossing out comments mainly directed at front runners Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
There were several memorable exchanges.
For those who waited for presumed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to implode at the first debate, the wait was in vain. Minutes after last night’s most raucous moment, when Sanders refused to attack Clinton over her ongoing email troubles – “The American people are sick and exhausted of hearing about your damn emails” – his team sent out an email blast to supporters asking for a $23.81 contribution.
The partisan audience loved it, and so did Clinton.
“It amazes me and it actually kind of scares me”, Paul said. Enough of the e-mails. Most national polls put Clinton ahead by significant margins, while Sanders has failed to grow his support beyond white voters concentrated in liberal enclaves.
“Thank you, Bernie, thank you”, she said.
“No, not at all”, Clinton said. “Sanders did vote five times against the Brady Bill”. Although Clinton led Sanders in New Hampshire in June, the Democratic socialist caught fire over the summer, gaining support from progressive liberals in the early primary state.
“I believe that there is a consensus in this country”.
We discuss all of that and much more on today’s BradCast, with really smart observations from two really smart journalists who are decidedly not “inside the Beltway” pundits… Another thing to look at is how Sanders’s numbers move in the next few days.

Aside from Cooper, Sanders and Clinton, Webb never called out any of the people in charge of the debate by name. “Are you blind or just bought?” “We need to be talking about what people are talking about”, she replied as she was interrupted by Anderson Cooper. “Not just a handful of billionaires”. Or is this Clinton vs. Sanders – the careful politician who has spent a career prepping for this campaign and the intriguing threat to her long-assumed nomination? “I think we have to think through this war on drugs which has done an enormous amount of damage”. “I think being the first woman president would be quite a change from the presidents we’ve had up until this point, including President Obama”.
