Who actually won last night’s debate?
It’s difficult to tell because for every poll you see showing
Bernie had a massive win, you have a headline on a newspaper or website saying it was
Hillary Clinton’s night.
Obvious establishment companies like
CNN,
NYTimes, and
MSNBC were always going to circle the wagons around
Hillary... but I'm looking at you
Huffpo,
Slate,
Salon, and yes even the fine folks at PretendProgressiveCorporatistSellouts.com. You're all super progressive until an old guy with some real talk gets some momentum and threatens to actually raise your company's taxes in real life.
Cenk Uygur and
John Iadarola (
Think Tank), hosts of the
The Young Turks, break it down.
Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

Bernie Sanders by all objective measures "won" the debate.
Hands down. I don’t say this as a personal analysis of the debate; the very idea of "winning" a debate is silly to me. I say this because based on the only relatively objective metric we have, online polls and focus groups, he did win. And it’s not even close.
Sanders won the CNN focus group, the
Fusion focus group, and the
Fox News focus group; in the latter, he even converted several Hillary supporters. He won the Slate online poll,
CNN/Time online poll, 9News
Colorado,
The Street online poll, Fox5 poll, the conservative
Drudge online poll and the liberal
Daily Kos online poll. There wasn’t, to this writer's knowledge, a poll he didn’t win by at least an 18-point margin. But you wouldn’t know this from reading the establishment press.
The New York Times, the
New Yorker, CNN, Politico, Slate,
New York Magazine, and Vox all unanimously say Hillary Clinton cleaned house. What gives?”*
