Taegan Goddard: Hillary Clinton Was The Clear Winner

[wyldwolf]

The first Democratic presidential debate was much better than expected and that’s largely due to the fact that there were only five candidates on the stage. Republicans should hope that most of their candidates drop out soon.

Hillary Clinton was the clear winner. She was well prepared for every question and left the other candidates far behind. She might not be exciting and she might be grating to those tired of her, but she’s certainly the most qualified Democrat running to be president. She only helped her candidacy tonight.

Bernie Sanders is an important voice and source of energy for the Democratic party. He did a well on issues such as the “rigged economy” and campaign finance, but struggled badly on gun control and foreign policy. Nonetheless, Sanders has tapped into something very important that Democrats must harness if they want to win in 2016.

The biggest losers were Republicans trying to use the Benghazi Committee to investigate Hillary Clinton’s email problems. It has energized Democrats and has backfired big time as a political issue.

How you put Sanders above Webb is puzzling.

2. The winner is the American people

That this wasn't a circus was a huge plus.

3. No. She Lost

She blew the weed question in an epic manner. That's just the tip of iceberg.

5. No, she didn't win the debate.

She did well, but Bernie won and O'Malley was second.
