How Bernie Sanders dominated the Democratic debate, in charts

The three Democrats running for president faced-off Sunday night for the last time before voters begin to weigh in on the 2016 campaign for the White House.

Who won Democratic debate last night? In short, it was more of a debate in a traditional sense.

Clinton reacted by saying that Sander’s comments about Wall Street and big banks do not effect her, but what she did not like was his aggravation toward President Obama for taking donations from Wall Street.

BERNIE SANDERS, meanwhile, defended his criticisms of the former president’s indiscretions. Because even when Secretary Clinton, Senator Sanders, and Governor O’Malley are yelling at one another, even when they are screeching at the top of their lungs, they basically agree on so many things: Everybody wants an even better health care plan!

“We finally have a path to universal healthcare”, said Clinton as she said that she wants to build and improve the Affordable Care Act and refuses to “tear it up” and start over. We’ve accomplished so much already. I don’t want to see the Republicans repeal it and I don’t want to see us start over again with a contentious debate. Sanders launched into a dithyramb about the greatness of the British National Health Service. Clinton was not deterred. I voted for it. But right now, what we have to deal with is the fact that 29 million still have no health insurance…

Clinton has said SC, where approximately half of Democratic voters are black, is her firewall, and she spent the entire debate ensuring the firewall was in place.

What was different from previous debates was Sanders’s eagerness to go on the offensive against Clinton, and particularly to highlight her most vulnerable area: her ties to the Wall Street plutocracy.

But Sanders pointed out that Clinton at one time had a 50-point lead. She suggested that Sanders was winging it, too: “When we’re talking about health care, the details really matter”.

So much to discuss, so little time: before the end of this fairly zippy two hours, Clinton will characterize her relationship with Putin as “interesting”, and call him a bully; O’Malley will say that Trump is employing fascist tactics; Sanders will allege that we can have online privacy, and at the same time, Silicon Valley can help us go after ISIS. He also noted Clinton shift further “left” to compete against self-proclaimed Democratic socialist Sanders.

Sunday night’s NBC face-off between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was watched by 10.2 million viewers, making it the most-watched Democratic primary debate since October. We were all of three percentage points. But as the primaries draw near, voters often spend time thinking about the commander-in-chief test – and Sanders has a long way to go in convincing voters of his readiness to handle foreign affairs.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said after the debate that the Democrats had “doubled down on the extreme and failed policies of the current administration, despite the fact Americans are desperately looking for a new direction that will only come with Republican leadership”.

“I think it’s one, I think of respect”, she said. Clinton asked. Later, she brought up the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Mich., where the mayor and city council have been roundly criticized for failing to swiftly address the lead contamination of the black-majority city’s drinking water.

“They have been so far, following their requirements under the agreement”, she said.

Two weeks until the Iowa caucuses and the American media has been full of headlines about Clinton campaign drama. “Senator Sanders called him weak, disappointing”, she said.

She has repeatedly invoked the so-called “Charleston loophole” whereby the alleged shooter Dylann Roof was able to buy a gun despite not having completed a background check. “I have supported from day one an instant background check to make certain that people who should not have guns do not have guns”. Who is satisfied that 51 percent of African-American young people are either unemployed or underemployed. Repeating the phrase “I think if he were here today”, Sanders argued that if King were alive today, he would be supporting many of his presidential positions.

The third participant in the debate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, tried persistently to insert himself into the conversation.
