i think the expectations were so low that when she proved to be competent both substantively and performtively that she just knocked people out of their shoes or something. i think there were a few key moments. she was offer the opportunity to go after bernie sanders on guns much it s perfectly ligit shot in a debate like. this i thought she had the better of the argument. and she pressed it. and she delivered it effectively. it was sort of this moment. right, we re debating. i m doing this much we re all doing. this i thought that was a great moment for her because it in some ways felt like that was the first moment of this campaign officially. yeah, it was. i don t think manufacture us expected her to go after him that hard. she knocked him back on his heels a little bit. there is the only time of the night, i thought, when he wasn t sounding really like the authentic guy that he sells
democratic primary voters is some sense of command of these issues? well, polls show that republican voters, republican primary voters want a candidate who is an outsider. by almost 2-1. republicans say that. democrats are more evenly divided between whether they want someone with experience or someone who is an outsider. now it s hard to know what comes first. the support for a particular candidate or your decision that you like an outsider or someone with experience. that said, you do see on the republican side candidates being rewarded whether it s trump or whether it s carson or even fiorina for that matter who are outsiders that haven t held elected office, who especially wli carson and trump don t feel the need to fill in a lot of policy detail as opposed to folks with a lot more command of the material like jeb bush who are struggling to breakthrough. and other governors of large states. on the democratic side, i think a lot of democrats watched the debate last night and found
that s hard ball for tonight. all in with chris hayes starts right now. tonight on all in. let me say something that may not be great politics. democrats seize the spotlight with a record audience. the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails. bernie and hillary shine. i can t think of anything more of an outsider than electing the first woman president. and lincoln chafy was also on stage. i think you re being a little rough. tonight why both front runs have a claim to victory. and undecided voter and democratic senator sharon brown on how he saw the debate. and what a difference a political party makes. i never attacked him on his look. believe me, there s plenty of subject matter right there. on the democratic policy fight was way different from the republican food fight.
i thought hillary did her job. she got through it. i prnlly thought she won the debate. i thought bern yea was off. he was not doing so well. i felt that other people shouldn t even be up there to be honest with you. i thought a couple of them were ridiculous. but you know, it s always tough when people shouldn t there be and they re taking up a lot of time, effort, and a lot of everything else and you d like to hear from the people that have a chance to win. in all fairness, the republicans have the same situation going. it s one of those things. donald trump offering up his critique of the democratic debate and of his own competition in the republican party where the front-runner status is solidified. new poll showing trump dominating among nevadans, a full 16 points ahead of dr. carson.
