and is therefore a win for the leader".
That's how I saw it as well. If Bernie intends to win this or make it interesting he needed to win and win big in these debates. So far he hasn't done anything like that.

...and it shows. If he really wants to win he has to eviscerate Hillary. The email comments of his are very revealing. He wants to be admired more than he wants to win.

Author touts Hillary's gaffes as her finest moments...
Her highlight for the evening came when Bernie implied that Hillary was hostage to Wall Street interests because she accepts their big-money campaign donations. Hillary pounced, pointing out that as the Senator from New York, she had worked extremely hard to help the financial sector recover from the impact of 9/11. Seeming to race to her side, the moderator turned the question back on Bernie and asked if he could cite evidence that Clinton had actually been influenced by Wall Street money, which drew no response. Finally, Hillary went on to score her biggest slam of the evening, noting that 65% of her campaign contributions were from women.
