We asked viewers to rate Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders during Thursday night’s Democratic debate. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:
Of course Clinton was the winner. She completely shamed #Sanders on the #Guns issue.
— @wkc7877
The battle in Brooklyn was a foolish old man and an incompetent old lady. Neither is presidential or qualified.
— @CSEFP
Sanders looked presidential. Hillary avoided questions. I think he annihilated her.
— @randypinball
Hillary is the only Democrat in the race. Sanders is really an independent.

Hillary Clinton should not have politicized Sandy Hook. It was a terrible tragedy. The manufacturer didn’t put the gun in the killer’s hand; his mother did. When Clinton was arranging arms sales to foreign governments, did she tell the manuafcturers they would be liable for any deaths caused by their weapons? Highly unlikely.
— Charlotte Scot
Bernie Sanders screwed up during the debate when he said no to apologizing to Sandy Hook families.
— Mike Fleming
Most are saying Sanders didn’t address the questions. In my opinion, Clinton dodged many questions. If she’s the nominee, a Republican will win. Even independents will not vote for her.
