Bernie did a great job of playing to his base, as is abundantly clear from reading posts at DU. But I very much doubt he won many converts.

The others were complete non-factors.

Hillary was on message and on point, she was clearly prepared. Head and shoulders above the rest, I was not exaggerating at all.
