I think Bernie won

Because it always looked as though he were in charge. And when he said he was sick of her damn emails, nobody called him on it.

What I saw was him looking at her and she had already spent some time talking about what was going to happen and why and who was responsible, etc., and he could see that she was taking up a lot of time. I think he would have wanted to interrupt no matter what she was talking about and he picked the perfect time.

She seemed friendly, at ease, confident, and looked better than I ever saw her look. Maybe a special diet helped her.

The host had a hard time making her stop talking after her answers, but she would go on and on with her answer

While most answers could be proved or disproved with a fact-checker, there is no reliable way to check the truthfulness of "I changed my mind," short of a lie detector test, and even then they don't work with an accomplished liar.

Last week she was a moderate in NH, yesterday a Progressive in Nevada, approved TPP, disapproved TPP; approved Pipeline, disapproved Pipeline, etc. She can change her mind again after she takes the oath, can't she, based on "new" information.

And somebody told me once when I was watching tv, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," and I believed him. Like George Bush said, "fool me once, and ??," however he screwed it up.

But Biden makes gaffes too, I forgot. Clinton supporters reminded me several times on the tv.
