Does Bernie think that "you, sir, are not a congressman!" is really a winning line these days?

You know, I really didn’t expect O’Malley to go after Sanders as well.

Sanders is an adept debater, able to quickly shift the terms of discussion to favorable grounds.

So, Gov O’Malley wants protection for baseless lawsuits. Full employment for lawyers! #DemDebate

Bernie Sanders theory of change on gun legislation seems very different than his theory of change on everything else

This is way tougher than most expected from Hillary. That's her first *real* attack on Bernie over the last six months. Game on.

Is Sanders tough enough on guns? @HillaryClinton responds

As a straight debating point, Clinton won that exchange. Made specific charge, Sanders evaded. Defense that he's from rural state is weak.

Clinton attacks Sanders hard on two gun votes. Sanders does not address her points straight on.

Hillary Clinton: "Senator Sanders did vote five times against the Brady bill." From Bernie: "All the shouting" won't change things.

Poor strategy IMO for Clinton to go negative on Sanders, but she can't help it (and she's awfully good at it)

A divide between Clinton and Sanders on gun control is laid bare. It's one of few areas where Sanders has upset the base. #DemDebate

In that case, we're gonna have to end this debate right now.

If Clinton were quick she’d use Webb’s comments to talk about helping working-class whites without anti-black racial pandering.
