I am still out of it from when Hillary was asked if she'd like to respond to Lincoln Chafee and said "No." That has the making to be an iconic debate moment. It makes it even better that it wasn't planned. She DID THAT. It was better than any reply she could've given. That was real SHADE.
The reason Hillary is drilling in on that female President deal is because she completely shied away from it during the 08 debates and it cost her. Wait for one of her opponents to attack her for it, they will be seen as anti-woman, and she gets to play the sympathy card.
I get it, but she must learn to use it in moderation.

My personal favorite moments were:
1) Sick about the 'damn e-mails'
2) HRC ceasing the moment with the aggressive stance on stalling of congress to protest PP and attack on gun control
3) Martin O'Malley delivered possibly my favorite closing statement of all the candidates
4) "I've been waiting for 10 minutes"
5) "Secretary Clinton, do you want to respond?" ...."No"
Trump's lead rests on widespread perceptions that he's the best candidate to handle the economy (67% say so in Nevada, 59% in South Carolina, while no other candidate hits double-digits) and illegal immigration (55% in Nevada and 51% in South Carolina, topping the other candidates by 40 points or more). About 6 in 10 in each state say Trump is the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington (60% in Nevada, 58% in South Carolina). Furthermore, nearly half -- 47% in Nevada and 44% in South Carolina -- view Trump as the candidate with the best chance of winning the general election next November.
I'm surprised that the consensus of these focus groups (AKA not college aged white males who constantly refresh /r/sandersforepresident) is that Bernie was the winner from yesterday night. It's clear to me that Hillary was more refined, presidential, a better debater. Maybe he was different of a debater in person than than how he was portrayed on national television? We'll see anyway when the next polling numbers arrive
Regarding the last line, wrong. His base is absolutely filled with young, first time voters who don't know much about politics. No shade, all tea. Bernie support is SWEEPING tumblr and that general age group. That's not baseless.
There's a HUGE difference between his base being "filled with" those voters, and his base "sweeping" that demographic. If his base was filled with those types of people, he wouldn't have been leading the polls in two primary states (of registered voters, not a tumblr poll or a tally of all the twitter retweets like some are trying to reduce his candidacy to), get the turnout numbers at his rallies, etc. Does he generally seem to have the endorsement of the "young" (first time or perhaps not even registered) voters especially on the internet? Yes, not unusual for the most liberal candidate in an election cycle. But I was mainly critiquing the diminishing of his base to JUST that, when clearly we wouldn't even be talking about him if that's what his base boiled down to. I've seen his rallies and the people supporting him are of diverse age groups, with a large portion being non-millennial lower-middle class workers and/or students.
The fact that the very young "tumblr" demographic is part of his base does not mean they are what defines it. Just like how self-proclaimed feminists or pro-Clinton Dynasty blacks are a demographics Hillary sweeps, but it would be incorrect to say her base is defined by or "filled with".

Well in the first group I counted 11 people raised their hand for Bernie, 8 for Hillary, with about half of those raising their hands for both. So that's not nearly as decisive as the title makes it seem.
The second one was definitely more positive for Bernie. I hope it's accurate of the GP considering how many jumped from Hillary to Bernie, but it's Fox "News" so Is Luntz polling considered credible outside of the Fox bubble? I'm assuming no, because Fox
Additionally it looked somewhat rehearsed, especially when he asked them to use an adjective for Bernie and they all had one prepared.
edit: regarding what you said, keep in mind not everyone is answering in as objective and analytical a way some of us expect (who was "refined", "presidential" etc). A lot of people, especially in the second clip, just answered in terms of who impressed them the most and/or has their vote now, which also deals with policies and visibility. So now more people are aware of Bernie and his more liberal policies, regardless of the (some would say) overly natural/un-"presidential" way he delivered them; in their minds, he's won.

These are also my faves. Also Anderson trying to drag everyone in some form.
The fact that not only is the mainstream media desperately pushing the "Hillary won!" narrative contrary to their own web polls and focus groups, but now the republican front-runner praised Hillary and released a Sanders attack ad should tell people something about who the establishment and even republicans would prefer in office.
