Best Lines of the NBC News Democratic Debate (Clinton's)

[Agschmid]

Tonight, the Democratic candidates for president gather to debate for the last time before the Iowa caucuses. Compared to their GOP counterparts, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley have been making their way through a rather drama-free primary. But tonight, despite the soul-sucking timing—a Sunday night of a holiday weekend—there might actually be some friction. The race between Clinton and Sanders is tight in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the two have finally started going after each other. Does that mean the debate—the fourth of the primary—will be full of biting attack lines, keen insights, and hilarious jokes? Who knows. But we'll be here all night to record the best of the best, and also the stuff Martin O’Malley says.

Clinton on injustice in the criminal justice system:

There needs to be a concerted effort to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system. And that requires a very clear agenda for retraining police officers, looking at ways to end racial profiling.

Clinton on the politicization of health care:

I don't to want see us start over again with a contentious debate. I want us to defend and build on the Affordable Care Act and improve it.


Clinton, identifying her real opponents:

I can tell you that the hedge fund billionaires who are running ads against me right now... I'm the one they don't want.

Clinton on making America great again:

I do believe as [Sanders] said, everything that's wrong with America has been solved somewhere in America. We just have to do more of it, and we have to reach out, especially into poor communities, and communities of color to give more people their own chance to get ahead.
