syria you are a member of the progressive caucus. generally has been opposed to american military engagements. you support intervention in syria at that time. do you think bernie sanders has enough command of foreign policy issues? do you think he demonstrated them last night to be president of the united states? yes, i do. i think that prudence is wise. i think it makes a lot of sense to get as much information as can you. he and i don t think the same thing. but i want a commander in chief who is going to really be deliberate. i think bernie will be that. you know, i think that he handled himself well. he showed command of the issues. he showed he understood how going in and doing a military
bigger difference between hillary clinton and bernie sanders than i think people got a sense of last night. that s less i think that is less on the debate moderation and more on a very specific point and strategy on the clinton campaign to essentially do as much as possible to erase that distance and they have executed that incredibly well. that is really coming from them. angela you need to be in the weeds to really understand how she was parsing in some ways. in many ways, she s adopting president obama s strategy from 2008. is that sort of your feeling about that kind of hillary clinton managing the kind of allied the differences as much as possible except on guns,
now, of course, we know that evolved. we know the party evolved and the party is still evolving now. i think she was very, very effective as well in saying, you know, listen, i continue to change as i read more things. there was an answer i didn t like so much about keystone because it wasn t so much of an answer. but i think she was very effective. one thing about bernie sand ers, he decided he was going to take the high road and not attack her. he stuck to that, even when she tacked him on guns. and he had an opening. when he said, you know, we don t regulate wall street. wall street regulates us. he could have taken it a step further. he could have said and tlegted the clinton administration. there would have been a thunderous applause. maybe she already had a response. but that i think was a moment where he could have shown distance. that s a great point. part of that is just who bernie sanders is as a human being and who he s been for a politician and he s not going to change no
which, of course, should not be shocking to anyone. she is the same woman who got some 18 million votes last time around. who is without a doubt one of the most formidable public figures of our time. secretary clinton, is bernie sanders tough enough on guns? no. not at all. senator sanders did vote five time against the brady bill. since it was passed more than two million prohibited purchases have been prevented. which enemy are you most proud snf. in addition to the nra, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the iranians, probably the republicans. this is basically an arm of the republican national committee. i think we need someone that has the best in ethical standards as our next president. do you want to respond? no. i can t think of anything more than of an outsider than electing first woman president. i m not just running because i would the first woman president.
we cannot afford it in this country. i think that is the bigger issue here. we got to see hillary clin supporters that cheered really loud when she said something really positive and bernie sanders voters and supporters that are cheering really loud when he d so both of them, i think, reaffirmed to their support base why they were supporting them to begin with. i also think that bernie got quite a few extra nods. i even want a bernie shirt that says enough with the damn e-mails. there were a up in of great moments. i think for the rest of them, unfortunately, martin o malley didn t show up the way that i thought he would. i actually am surprised by the fact that he came across more authentic than i ve ever seen hillary clinton come across. maybe he was too practiced. i ve been saying today he was the democratic version of scott walker. lincoln chafy just weird. i don t think we have time to get into. that who blames a vote on their dead father? and then, of course, jim webb, who says t
