CNN brought on board a debate coach to grade the candidates on their performance during last night’s debate and the results are surprising (to some).



According to the article,

Clinton consistently reminded the audience that she had plans to fix the country's problems, while -- as she pointed out -- Sanders did little more than "diagnose." Several times during the debate, Clinton mentioned that "it's easy to diagnose the problem ... and again, I absolutely agree with the diagnosis, the diagnosis that we've got to do much more to finish the work..," but she added "it's harder to do something about the problem." Again, this was new and effective.



And in regards to Sanders,

The second example of Sanders not comprehending what was happening in the debate came when he literally contradicted himself on the issue of climate change. He criticized Clinton's pragmatic approach to energy policy and in particular fracking, by stating, "Incrementalism and those little steps is not enough. Not right now and not on climate change."



Unfortunately, Sanders answered the opposite way on a pointed question about the difficulty of transitioning to green, or sustainable, energy. Sanders replied that we will "not phase out tomorrow..." implying that we should, you know, take our time. Within seconds Sanders was both against, and then for baby-steps.



Unbelievably bad debating by Sanders.
