Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders debated in Brooklyn, N.Y., Thursday night, the first time the two had stood on the same stage in 36 days. I tweeted. The Fix posse annotated. And I also jotted down some of the best and worst from the night that was. Enjoy!
Winners
Hillary Clinton:
Clinton didn't knock Sanders out. But she definitely won on points. She
was ready when Sanders came at her on her judgment for voting for the
war in Iraq, noting that the voters of New York as well as President
Obama trusted her judgment. She noted, powerfully, that women's rights
had not come up nearly enough in these debates and that Sanders had
sought to minimize them as an issue when Donald Trump made his comments about abortion.
(Side note: That was Clinton's best moment of the night, reminding
people watching that her campaign to be the first female presidential
nominee for a major party was both historic and unique.)
