OFF TO THE RACES: About last night
Our own Perry Bacon Jr. wrote that Bernie Sanders gave Clinton a huge assist by shutting down the issue over her email server.
MSNBC writes that Clinton solidifies her spot as the strongest candidate in the field.
But that didn’t preclude Sanders from sparring with Clinton on a host of issues, including “national security, the economy, big banks and gun-control,” the Washington Post writes.
Sanders’ self-identification of a “democratic socialist” is difficult on the national stage.
Candidates made 12 “suspicious or interesting claims” the Washington Post writes.
O’Malley’s campaign released a memo after his debate performance: “At the first Democratic Presidential Debate, Governor O’Malley proved that he is the only candidate who has a record of achieving progressive results, acting based on principles rather than polls, and offering a forward-looking and aspirational vision for America.”
