security, he doesn t have the same identity on these issues. he doesn t have the same command on the issues and it allows hillary clinton to find it a much, much easier perspective from the republican perspective, who won this debate? well, she did. and i think peter is right. bernie sanders sooeg seems very unwilling make to take the dirty victory. he was constellatory, very sorry, very statesman like. david talk about their fun banter, that s great, but it s not going to move you up in the polls. so if bernie sanders wants to stay high minded, that s lovely, but bernie sand serious going to stay at 30%. but bernie s way to move up is not by hearing her down. hillary has a high rating among bernie s voters. they like her. they just like him more. as this data thing exploded, i kept thinking of the words of
hillary clinton in a commanding place. i thought she was very strong in a way she wasn t strong before on terror and war. i think she wanted to come out as more hawkish. you saw some stark differences there in terms of the prosecution of the war on terror, on isis. she wants a no fly zone and you heard martin o malley there, trying to make the a distinction, trying to come forward and say he s the younger generation. i think he was trying to land punches, didn t land them very effectively. and bernie sanders, again, struggling on guns. that s an issue that hillary clinton, as well as martin o malley think they can score points against sanders and i think they did, again, tonight president. david axelrod, you re a former political adviser, also our senior cnn political comment taters and you re now at the university of chicago politics. when you saw this feud between the hillary clinton campaign and the bernie sanders campaign, it had the potential for totally exploding. but bernie sa
nature of his campaign and he needed to do something defin it right at the top to state that and i think apologizing to his supporters, as well, was smart. but i also think hillary clinton was smart to handle it the way she did. i think her campaign got a little overheated yesterday in the exchanges and she has nothing to gain from an ongoing dispute with bernie sanders. she s got bigger things in mind. she accepted that apology pretty quickly. and remember, this is not your conventional debater, bernie sanders. remember what he said at our debate. enough with your [ expletive ] e-mails. that was not politically smart for him to do, but he did it anyway. i think it was bernie being bernie. there were some significant difference weapo differences. hillary clinton says there should be a no fly zone. bernie sanders says not so fast. that was. sanders coming down on the idea that, listen, you leave assad
legislation with a ban on combat assault weapons, david. look, there are profound differences on this issue. we can do all the great speeches we want, but you ain t gonna succeed unless there is a consensus. in 1988, just to set the record straight, governor, i rab for the u.s. house. we have one house member from vermont. three candidates in the race. one candidate said, you know what? i don t think it s a great idea that we sell automatic weapons in this country that are used by the military to kill people rapidly. there are three candidates in the race. you vote for one or the other, but not bernie sanders. i lost that election by three percentage points, quite frankly for that reason. so please, do not explain to me, coming from a state where democrat governors and republican governors have supported virtually no gun control. excuse me gun control. do not tell me that i am not shown courage in standing up to
