The two major points the press is emphasizing from the debate

I have seen both of these points mentioned several times in various news articles including the one from the below link on Huff Post.


1. Hillary gaffed pretty bad with her remark about Wall Street and 9/11

2. Bernie Sanders scored points by saying he was less of a socialist than Eisenhower.


I don't know if the polls will change much but I do expect to see a slight bump for Sanders and O'Malley a slight dip for Hillary based on the narrative showing up in most articles.

When the dust settled, Bernie's fans were convinced he scored a knockout and Hillary got a big jump in the polls.

Because it will work for him the same way it worked for Obama when Obama mentioned Reagan when he was running in 2008.

assist from O'Malley.

Obviously I say that as a supporter, but I'm trying to be objective.
