How is it that Sanders keeps raising all this $$$ but the average never changes from $27?

Why doesn't Hillary do more with fact that Sanders only became a Dem to run for president? How could he lead if he has no party behind him?

Hillary just indicated that she might dump Merrick Garland if she's elected. Bernie definitely would--and nominate someone unconfirmable.

Hillary on strong ground on not opening can of worms again on health care. On tightrope on lifting $118k cap on SS. Lots of those folks vote

Trump's view of NATO is scary but he does deserve credit for making burden-sharing a first tier issue for the next president.

Hillary seems to have just said BO shld have removed Assad. But what then? As Prez, she may be too interventionist.

Problem was, other nations have even worse regs on methane releases, which are horrible for global warming.https://twitter.com/ericholthaus/status/720794366227275777 …

Eric Holthaus @EricHolthausBernie’s right: Part of Hillary’s role as Sec of State under Obama was to promote fracking around the world. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/03/06/demdebate_bernie_sanders_crushes_hillary_clinton_on_fracking.html …10 retweets 9 likes -

The essence of Hillary's campaign: "It's easy to diagnose the problem. It's harder to do something about the problem".

Bernie's idea of releasing 500k often violent inmates won't fly with states. PS: under that plan, forget putting bankers in jail.

Hillary is right to hit Bernie on gunmaker immunity but it was cheesy and what peo hate about pols to blame NY violence on VT guns.

Minimum wage is perfect example of difference betw them. Forcing all states w/low cost of living to double min wage overnight wld cost jobs.

Talk about poor judgment--Hillary took GOLDMAN $ when she knew she wld likely run for Prez. This tax return response ain't playing.

Breaking up banks now wld be fine; breaking them up in '09 per Bernie would have led to ruinous bank runs and cost taxpayers $1 trillion.

Jeff Zucker of CNN no doubt intentionally allowed cheering and booing to make a feisty debate even feistier.
