Bernie Sanders, who is leading in national polling and won the popular vote in all three early voting states, was questioned about his electability and was criticized once again for his signature policy, Medicare For All.

"I'm hearing my name mentioned a little bit tonight,” Sanders said early on in the debate."I wonder why?"

Biden came out swinging against Sanders, as well as billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer, who is in third place in South Carolina and is also is targeting African American voters. Buttigieg repeatedly attacked Sanders over his Medicare for All policy, saying that it would lead to President Donald Trump being re-elected.Buttigieg, who is polling in single digits with black voters, was questioned about the stop-and-frisk policy that Bloomberg implemented in New York City and which disproportionately targeted black and brown men. Buttigieg called the practice racist.

And while she got the third most speaking time, she did not have the standout moment she did when she went after Buttigieg during the Nevada debate. Klobuchar is trailing by a large margin in South Carolina polls and was looking for that big moment again.She touted her Midwest roots when asked whether she would meet with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un. Klobuchar said yes she would, but not take the same approach as Trump.

“It adds up to four more years of Donald Trump,” Buttigieg said of Sanders' Medicare for All proposal. Despite the onslaught of attacks from his Democratic opponents, Sanders ended the night on a high note."Mandela said, 'Everything is impossible until it happens,'" Sanders said. The Vermont Senator prefaced the quote by saying that the biggest misconception about him is that"the ideas I'm talking about are radical."Billionaire philanthropist Tom SteyerSteyer, who has polled in third place in South Carolina, didn't get much speaking time.

Bernie got Slapped & Clapped on GunControl & Cuba It was hilarious to see him freak out & then get booed. 😂🤣

Dem winner

He is an idiot that has done nothing and is full of promises, send him packing to his white rich state. Tired of the same lines everyone is believing because it’s all BS.

i know that's how it played out.

Everybody to Everybody:

bernie be like:

An open Marxist is the Democrat frontrunner for President of the United States. I never thought I’d see the day, yet here we are

It IS possible. Australia has it! SenSanders

BernieSanders needs to do ALL true Democrats a favor and drop out of the race. He's part of this country's problem; he offers no solid solutions or costs. Americans do not need a self-proclaimed socialist in office. He's effing things up again. BackOutBernie

I can’t help but think the questions around Sanders electability are couched in the idea his constituency around this nation is way too diverse. I’m not sure if America (White) wants true diversity and equity.

Once these jabronis get out of the way, Bernie’s off to the main event.
