Hillary Clinton won that one.
No question.
No wonder - no one else on that stage carries the baggage that always accompanies a Clinton, but no one has, either, her length of experience at the peak of public life.
And it showed tonight.
She even got a bit of help from Bernie when the inevitable question of the Clinton emails hit the floor:

“Let me say something that may not be great politics, but I think the secretary is right — and that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!"

He may get a thank you note in the morning.....

Sanders had some trouble fully explaining his varying votes on guns, and came back too often to his the "1% have all the money" theme, but he didn't hurt himself - it's just that the Clinton strength shone stronger in this first debate.

You had to like her spin on a political season where outsiders are winning the game to date:

"I can't think of anything more outsider than electing the first woman president."

Of the other three candidates, O'Malley likely gained a few points - not enough to save him - for the next poll, but I don't understand why Chafee and Webb are even on the stage - they're blips now, and will be tomorrow.
