My Two Line Debate Summary

Bernie Sanders: We can have a caring, humane society that helps all Americans if only we all rise up and take back the reins of power from the rich oligarchs who have bought our government out from under us.

Hillary Obama: Reining in my biggest campaign contributors will do nothing to advance identity politics or stop racism, sexism, or xenophobia. Only I can advance identity politics and stop racism, sexism, and xenophobia. I got this.

8. I am just trying to characterize her new overarching message as I heard it.

She is attempting to divide Obama fans and social justice seekers from economic and social justice seekers and ride identity politics and Obama's cult of personality to the nomination.

11. Hillary doesn't need our help with this. She is very concerned about racism, sexism, and xenophobia.

The fact that she is concerned about these issues will solve all the problems associated with them.

And remember, she is not just a one issue candidate, especially not when that issue is her biggest campaign contributors.
