For the non-Hillary Rodham Clinton, non-Bernie Sanders Democrats participating in the first debate on Tuesday night, there was one goal: Get noticed. A look at the candidates being searched on Google during the debate shows that one candidate managed to do that.

Bernie Sanders.

3. Thank you for this

I expected Bernie to perform excellently and he exceeded my expectations. I think you will hear this quote a lot in the upcoming months, "Congress does not regulate Wall Street, Wall Street regulates, Congress." It is easy to understand and very memorable. In fact I think that is when the debate was over and Bernie won. The rest was just biding time.

4. And Now This...

Democrats have a surprisingly competitive race for their presidential nomination, and if you watched their announced candidates debate Tuesday night, you saw why. Not because the candidates, like their Republican counterparts, spent much time and effort attacking one another; they didn't. And not because Hillary Rodham Clinton suffered grievous wounds or damaged her standing; she didn't.

No, what came closest to electrifying the night was a Vermont senator, a self-described democratic socialist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and who probably can't get elected president. Bernie Sanders demonstrated time and again Tuesday night why he's the force vector in this race.

11. Media never misses a chance to say (a) he'll lose the nom and/or (b) he's unelectible.

After months of that, the pre-debate show on CNN said he had to prove he was electible and the afer show on CNN said he failed to prove he was electible. How do you measure that objectively within seconds after a debate ends? Yet, they pronounce it as though it's carved in stone. And it's exactly what Hillary and the DNC want them to say.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was the most popular candidate among a group of young registered Democrats during the first portion of the Democratic presidential debate.

Fusion brought together a dozen 18-to-34-year-olds to react to the CNN debate in real time. Sanders was the clear favorite throughout the debate.
