Related: About this forumNYT: Who Won the Debate? Bernie Sanders Gets the Edge
In their eighth debate on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders aggressively hashed out their differences on immigration, health care and college affordability. They often spoke over each other, and there were few light moments as the two faced off during what could be the most important week of the Democratic presidential nomination contest. While they both parried effectively, many commentators and critics thought Mr. Sanders delivered his most confident performance of the campaign, even as Mrs. Clinton had her moments.

The fact that they even said "gets the edge" is a stunning admission on their part.

(1,021 posts)7. Yeah, the Times take is followed by a sampling of other sources
Which, in an unsurprising fashion, basically handed it to Clinton. But make no mistake: the fact that NYT, of all sources, is begrudgingly giving it to Bernie is a big deal. NYT is the height of "establishment."
