The comment was credited by analysts and even a few Clinton staffers as a big help to Clinton as the debate shifted in focus toward policy issues and away from Clinton’s upcoming testimony to Congress. The Vermont Senator said his comment was only meant to draw attention away from the controversy and toward other matters, particularly an uneven economy tilted in favor of those already at the top.

She came away still feeling negative about Clinton and not feeling she knew much about the other four Democratic candidates. Everything was like, ‘This one said that, how do you respond Mr. Trump?’ To be clear, they don’t find Hillary Clinton to be particularly trustworthy or transparent, but that was the case before her email story broke.

Clinton, agreeing with her opponents, said the country needs “a new New Deal for communities of color”.
