But the biggest cheer of the night during their first debate was when the two front-runners came to an agreement. “And that is that the American people are sick of hearing about your damn emails”.

As the crowd roared with approval Mrs Clinton smiled broadly and shook his hand, saying: “Thank you, Bernie”. With high donation rates, especially those who contributed within the four short hours during and after the debate, it seems as if Bernie Sanders is igniting everyone with hope and yearning for the truth.
No one had expected blockbuster viewership for the Democrats, who featured Clinton and Sanders along with three others who are barely registering in the polls: former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, former senator Marine veteran Jim Webb, and Lincoln Chafee, the ex-governor of Rhode Island.
On Wednesday, Cuomo, a Clinton surrogate, called into WNYC as an unscheduled guest to say the Vermont senator opposed a federal gun control measure that would have made gun manufacturers liable in lawsuits stemming from fatal shootings like those now plaguing the country.
The former secretary of state raised a few $29.45 million over this same time period, winning the money race for the second consecutive quarter.
So when Clinton reminded the audience watching the debate that she could potentially be the first female president, I was honestly a little disappointed.
It’s less clear, however, that Clinton’s apparent win actually boosted her level of support. “And her debate performance solidified her standing with New Hampshire Democratic voters, who have her leading her closest rival for the first time since July”. And, according to the poll, 54% of the survey’s respondents thought Clinton “won” the debate.
But even with Clinton’s slight lead, she received the lowest rating when voters were asked who they trust the most. We have a criminal justice system that lets CEOs on Wall Street walk away, and yet we are imprisoning or giving jail sentences to young people who are smoking marijuana.
