The latest Democratic debate has come and gone and the gloves are off. Gone are the days of politeness, replaced with raw grit and determination. Senator Sanders attacked the frontrunner of showing poor judgement in areas ranging from Trade Deals to Iraq. Sanders pointed out that Secretary Clinton had recieved one quarter of a million dollors for speaking at Goldman Sachs. She hit back with reference to an interview Senater Sanders had with the New York Daily News regarding his hesitation when asked to spell out his core beliefs. A common theme emerged, that Sanders is the canidate with big ideas but that Secretary Clinton is the canidate that is pragmatic.
An intresting point that was made on the PBS Newhour was that Senater Sanders has taken the high road with his campaign in that he has mostly held off from going negative. He has had plenty of opportunities. From the house that she has to the restaurants she goes to. She is not just the establishement figure, she is the one percent.That being said, that fact that he has yet to attack Secretary Clinton is remarkable. He has said in the past that a negitive campaign is one that he does not want to run, but there is still ammunition for that kind of fight if he needs it. Being right before the New York primary, the debate was the last time when the two canidates faced off before the important state decided. It still looks like a win for the Clinton camp, the math is on her side. But every hit she takes take a little glow out of her campaign.
