Weighing in just before the biggest snacking weekend of the year. Is it true . Well, we have made it to friday. Good morning, everybody. Well get started with what was really a heated democratic showdown that took place in New Hampshire. Were talking Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, going toetotoe debate being described as caustic, nasty, even ugly. Putting clinton on the defensive again is sanders. Her ties to wall street. It is time for your voice, your vote. Abcs bazi kanani following the developments in washington. Bazi, good morning. Reporter good morning, kendis. Good morning, reena. This was the first democratic debate with two candidates on the stage and with just days to go until the next round of voting, they did not hold back. The top two democrats facetoface for the last time i think its time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out. Reporter the candidates clashing over charges of not standing up to wall street. I helped lead the effort against deregulation. Reporter while Hillary Clinton dodged a question about releasing the transcripts of her paid speeches to banks and big corporations. I will look into it. I dont know the status. Reporter she showed her muscle on foreign policy. I fully, fully concede that secretary clinton who was secretary of state for four years has more experience. But experience is not the only point. Judgment is. A vote in 2002 is not a plan to defeat isis. Reporter Bernie Sanders again refused to go after clinton for her email controversy. I will not politicize it. Reporter instead going after her connections to the political establishment. Secretary clinton does i represent, i hope, ordinary americans. Senator sanders is the only person who i think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president as exemplifying the establishment. And the candidates are right back on the campaign trail in New Hampshire today while Hillary Clinton is far behind in the polls there, analysts say her performance in this debate was strong and could help her in future contests.
