Who won: Hillary or Sanders?

-

CNN saw it as Hillary Clinton’s game in which she gave a strong performanc­e, taking control and giving no ground to Bernie Sanders or her lesser-known rivals to the Democrats’ presidenti­al slot in the November 2016 elections.

“Telegraph” of United Kingdom with its seven-person election team voted unanimousl­y for Hillary, saying she was the clear winner, she shone, she “walked it tonight,” confirming she is “light years ahead of a weak Democrat field,” “streets ahead of the others,” she was “poised, prepared and polished.”

Twitter however, through social analytics report from Spredfast, a social software platform based in Austin, Texas, said Sanders was the “clear-cut winner” among five Democrat presidenti­al candidates, drawing over 306,000 tweets about the senator from Vermont. He was mentioned 13% compared with Hillary’s 9%. His introducti­on hit 6,755 tweets per minute ( TPM), highest number hit during the debate.

How about among Democrats themselves? More than half believe Hillary won, according to a poll released by NBC News & Survey Monkey: 56% saying she did the best and 33% saying it was Sanders.

So Hillary it was in most polls, especially among news gurus and Democrat voters, and Sanders in social media.

“Let me say something that may not be great politics, that is, the secretary of state is right. The American people are sick and tired of hearing about -- Bernie Sanders

“I’ve taken responsibi­lity for it (the use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of state). I did say it was a mistake. I have been as transparen­t as I know to be.” -- Hillary Clinton
