One hour into the Democratic debate and issues aside Hillary Clinton is winning in terms of tone and debating skills. Unless there is some major unseen event this debate will freeze in place the race and allow for Clinton to take her national lead well into the heart of January.
CAFFEINATED POLITICS 
and pigs fly…….
Your analysis is interesting: how can the issues be put aside? Two events that will shift “the preordained outcome predictions” will be the primary election outcomes in New Hampshire and Iowa
Mark,
The reason I said “issues aside” was that I like to watch debates from a straight on and somewhat objective (as best as one can) perspective. So if one takes out what ones want to hear on the issues and just watch debating skills makes me conclude very strongly that Clinton won the night.
