NYT: Who Won the Debate? Hillary Clinton Is Given the Edge

[SunSeeker]

Commentators and pundits shared the opinion that there were no campaign-altering moments, though Mr. Sanders, who was on the attack throughout, occasionally seemed to lose his cool and stumbled a bit when discussing race. Mrs. Clinton managed to stay on her game and stirred excitement by taking some shots at Donald J. Trump. In the end, Democrats were most satisfied that their candidates mustered more decorum than the Republicans.

“I think Hillary Clinton got the better of it tonight. Counterpunched better in key moments. Sanders better on God, fracking and closing statements.” — Dante Atkins, contributing editor to the liberal website Daily Kos

“Clinton came prepared to the CNN debate and more than held her own, preventing Sanders from the clear victory he needs to change the trajectory of the race ahead of Michigan’s primary on Tuesday.” — Alex Seitz-Wald, MSNBC political reporter

1. Haven't seen all of the debate, but so far I'm flabbergasted by Hillary's obvious

extensive preparation. Impressive!

Off topic, but this is bugging me. I just heard Sanders on ABC This Week say, "... honestly I didn't know this until a week ago that in 1960, it turns out, Detroit was one of the wealthiest cities in America." How can he not have known this? Am I weird by being absolutely blown away by this?

3. Apparently there's a lot of things Bernie didn't know until a week ago.

4. That's now WaPo AND the NY Times declaring her the winner of that debate.

5. I thought they both did well, but Hillary's responses were more comprehensive.

Therefore she won the debate. I also noticed that Johnny one note kept changing the subject and didn't always respond to the question.

That's my 2 cents.

6. Well, if you're a poor white person or a woman with an opinion

then I'd say you probably think Bernie did rather poorly.
