No vehemently offers support for Wall Street as post-911 recovery effort. Does that fly?"While O'Malley got the best and only laugh lines,the former Governor of Maryland and Mayor of Baltimore was out of his league. He did refer to Republican front runner Donald Trump as "that immigrant-bashing carnival-barker".
Another line, which will probably not be remembered, and is when O'Malley stated, "The symbol of America is the Statue of Liberty not a barbed-wire fence."There a few other skirmishes, but all in all, and the candidates were pretty much in agreement on the issues. Clinton,however, was wanting greater control of guns than Sanders, and but not by much.
As to who won the debate,I must agree with the pundits and talking heads.
Clinton won only because she did not have a major screw up.
Sanders and O'Malley both had a chance to lower the boom, but backed off when they could have won a point. It nearly seemed, and particularly with Sanders, the secondary contenders were afraid that closing the deal might cost them the women's vote - whether they were factual and Clinton was erroneous.
Sanders had Clinton on the ropes on campaign finance, but could not bring himself to throw the telling punch. This became more weird to watch as Clinton rejoined, or to loud applause,that 60% of all her donations came from women.
What did we learn?Hillary is on her way to being the Democratic nominee for President.
There is that small caveat that the FBI does not turn up something in her emails that could lead to an indictment.
Should that happen, what will the Democrats do?From the Cornfield, or rest easy there will not be another debate until December 15 on the Republican side and December 19 on the Democratic wannabes.
