@engineer,
Quote: I think that unlike a sporting event where you compete against others, each person was competing against different standards
The standards are the same, gaining votes. Which is not the same as getting the chattering class on corporate media to say that you won. We will know in about a week who won, and according to everything I have seen on social media so far it was Sanders.
Quote:. For Clinton the standard was "show you actually know stuff and can champion the party instead of just accepting the crown."
I noticed little D ass kissing and surprisingly little R bashing from Hillary.
Quote:Clinton demonstrate knowledge on a decently wide range of topics is something that you haven't seen.
She did what, 25 debates 8 years ago, and she has been yakking on our TV's for three decades, how many people had not seen Hillary in action before last night?
And Sanders was either lying or not aware of reality with his claim that Americans dont care about Hillary clinton not protecting state secrets
Quote:However, a Washington Post piece on Wednesday told a different story. Americans not tired of hearing about the Hillary Clinton emails, and it’s not just Republicans who are dissatisfied with Clinton’s defense thus far.
Not relying simply on one poll to prove the point, WashPo‘s Philip Bump pointed out how this issue could be a significant problem for Clinton as she (presumably) moves out of primary season and into the actual race for President.
One area where Sanders was right, Bump notes, was on the topic of Democrats being sick and tired of the Hillary Clinton emails, but it became another story entirely when other voters were polled on the matter. The interest in the truth about Hillary’s emails has only grown from March to September as an FBI investigation began and virtually every defense the former First Lady and Secretary of State offered faced contradictions to the facts
When asking the question of whether Hillary Clinton emails were a “legitimate campaign issue,” more than 70 percent of Republicans and around 50 percent of Independents said that it was, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll referenced in Bump’s piece.
When asked whether Clinton’s responses on the email issue were satisfactory, 50 percent of respondents in a CBS News/New York Times poll (also referenced) said they were “mostly unsatisfied” compared to 32 percent who were “mostly satisfied.” This poll, conducted in September, represented a 10 percent jump in the number of “mostly unsatisfied” responses since March 2015.
The most concerning poll, however, came from CNN/ORC, which posed the question, “Do you think Clinton did anything wrong on emails?”
In August, a staggering 56 percent of all respondents said she had compared to just 39 percent, who thought otherwise.
Sanders’ attempt to flippantly dismiss Hillary Clinton emails as a campaign issue works for now — since it’s the Democratic vote he’s going after — but once you get past that, it becomes quite concerning, especially since most candidates — Democrat or Republican — still need the Independent vote in order to win the White House.

And just so you know flippantly dismissing the importance of something that the American people care about is not good for the D brand, the more D's who do it the worse this goes for the D's.
EDIT: She was prime Hillary last night, and while it is clear that prime Hillary played well with the elite I have no reason to think that she played well with the little people, the people who will decide who our next president it. We need to wait a week to see how this went for Hillary.
