The dramatic music to open, followed by the intense minute long clip that previewed the Bernie vs. Hillary battle set the atmosphere for the fight that followed. New Hampshire this, New Hampshire that -- screw it, New Hampshire, everything! When the mediators finally settled down and stopped talking about New Hampshire, Senator Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton each opened with a one-minute speech.

Bernie kept strong to the heart of his campaign and spoke on how he has “given up on the political process” because it’s rigged. Wall Street funds lobbyists; lobbyists create super PACS to avoid paying politicians directly; and then the politicians create unethical laws that allow all three parties to continuously get richer. He went on to demand better working conditions for working class America. Americans, overall, have been working more hours for lower wages than ever before. The script needs to be flipped if happiness is a concern for the government.

Hillary opened with an arrogant confidence, but a swagger. She knew her campaign's game plan well, going in, and she delivered. She touched on the lobbyists, but then quickly twisted the debate her way with buzzword issues. Hillary went right into the LGBTQ community and yelled: “Don’t forget about us!” She was big on health care, specifically not ripping the current bill apart and starting fresh, but rather her focus was on building upon what we have, one block at a time. Hillary did have one moment when she said she wanted middle-class children to go to college, completely leaving out the lower class, and tried to make it OK by comparing herself to Trump. But both candidates came out strong.

This truly is one of the best primary races in a long time. Bernie going for a revolutionary overhaul of Congress, and Hillary, a strong proven political figure who can lay the law on critical issues. Both have what it takes to be President, almost as much as Donald Trump. Joke’s not aside, Bernie’s revolution™* can happen if 2020 Scott Walker runs for President in 2020. He is the Republican who called building a wall between Canada and America a “legitimate issue to look at.” This way we can be completely blocked off from both countries that border us! That sends a positive message. Then, in 2024 when Alaskan Senator, Sarah Palin finally decides to run for President, Bernie will have been eight years into his presidency. At this point, hopefully, Bernie would have significantly cut down lobbying as well as started to lay a concrete path for young, upcoming, progressive candidates who are trying to get into office. At this point, Bernie’s revolution™* could be on the brink of an avalanche.

Hillary made her best point when foreign relations were brought up. She has the ability to make decisive actions on issues that involve significant emotion and death. I don’t know if Bernie is able to do that. It’s something we would only be able to see in office in a real time situation, which can’t happen if he doesn’t get the job. So know if you vote Bernie, you are taking a chance. It was refreshing, however, to see somebody take North Korea as a viable threat with logical reasoning. Also, on foreign relation matters, Bernie would do his homework and consult with his team, who actually act like his teachers. They do the research, inform each other, and work as a team. Not to say Hillary does not, just she might be more of a Chip Kelly rather than a Mike Tomlin. Her breakdown on Russia’s expansion gameplan was thoroughly impressive.

Bernie went on to say he loves what the Obama administration has done and does not want Americas to forget what preceded Obama. Hillary used a common theme of being a fighter, and fighting hard for this country, and she will fight hard to keep her promises because she never breaks them! Not even once.

Bitter banter. Powerful statements. The end.

I would really like to ask each candidate how they would handle a Syrian refugee situation, but that is a question for another time. Until then, there was no clear cut winner. It will be interesting to see the voting numbers that follow this primary debate. And it will be very interesting to keep up with what is going on in the Republican Party. I want a Bernie Revolution.™* Go grassroots approach, and go vote!
