Sanders isn't doing well. He's repeating himself and staring at Hillary like he wants to punch her. I don't get where people are getting that he's winning this debate.

Sanders is sure to have many adverbs and adjectives prepared for the foreign policy questions.

From what I've heard Sanders doesn't have many political friends period. Is there anyone in the Senate that is an ally of his?

C'mon man is this the best you can do now?

If you don't have people you can work with rationally, how can you expect to be an effective President?

Sanders turned a foreign policy question into one about economics.

You guys are crazy. I think Clinton's wiping the floor with that old empty suit.

Sanders could belch as a response and some people would be all "OMG, HE'S KILLING IT!!!!"

Clinton clearly won this. She was clear, concise, calm and collected. Clinton had a clear strategy and stuck to it.

She had a strategy, but any nonbiased viewer could easily tell that it failed.

Sanders was angry, ignorant of foreign policy and light on actual details. There is no question who won.

Bernie's closing statement goes to the core of his political philosophy.

Hillary's is just a list of policy positions.

One of the things that stuck with me from the 2008 campaign was Obama's constant reinforcement that, it's not about experience, or about what a person is promising you. It's about judgment, about where a person was when it counted. I'll always keep that in mind in campaigns going forward for the rest of my life. I trust Bernie's judgment, and because of many things from Hillary (her vote on Iraq being one) I can never trust her judgment. Ever.

His philosophy may not matter to Beet, but it matters to me.

Obama never came off as ignorant as foreign policy as Sanders does. Judgment works in more than one way. Sanders would definitely be capable of making major foreign policy errors. One vote doesn't mean that he is qualified to be in Commander in Chief.

If he wins the nomination, his lack of foreign policy chops will be a major problem.
