I think that Bernie Sanders won the Democratic Primary Debate. The two strongest candidates in the debate were Clinton and Sanders, and Sanders defeated Clinton by far. Throughout the debate, Sanders kept going back to the idea that climate change is the nations biggest threat at the moment, which I wholeheartedly agree with since the climate is an uncontrollable force that is becoming quite a problem for the environment. One of Sanders' strongest quotes was, in response to how he would pay for his new tax proposals, "Well, let me tell you, Donald Trump and his billionaire friends under my policies are going to pay a hell of a lot more in taxes today — taxes in the future than they're paying today." In this quote Sanders is reinforcing points and plans he made throughout the debate in regards to tax proposals that will affect income inequality. Sanders' ratings in the polls have been growing significantly leading up to the election. According to the Huffington Post, Sanders was showing .9% support in June of 2014 and 24.4% support in October of 2015, within the democratic party.
