Dick Morris: Bernie Sanders Won the Debate

-snip-
While all the insider pundits proclaimed a Hillary victory, it is evident to those who truly understand the Democratic electorate that Bernie Sanders is the one who actually won.

The result of the debate will be evident soon enough: Look for Bernie to move up in the polls and close much of the lead Hillary now holds.

Hillary didn’t do badly. But Sanders won. The leftist new Democratic Party is highly issue-oriented. Personalities and charisma are quite beside the point. It was formed in reaction to the Iraq War and has grown around the Occupy Wall Street and one-percenter issues, and both of those were on prominent display last night.

Hillary the winner. Probably more so, considering the source and his history. Not exactly unbiased when it comes to the Clintons. I think Bernie did great, but find most of the early declaring a debate winner pretty pointless.

I think Bernie will see a 10% bounce, Hillary about the same or slight dip.

this is correct:

The leftist new Democratic Party is highly issue-oriented. Personalities and charisma are quite beside the point. It was formed in reaction to the Iraq War and has grown around the Occupy Wall Street and one-percenter issues, and both of those were on prominent display last night.


And this is why people are flocking to Bernie. He cares about all the right issues. He cares. Period.
