Throughout the summer, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has increasingly wilted at the polls.
Now, with the strong performance from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at the Tuesday Democratic debate, the Democratic Party machine has started to panic — and it looks like they’re using the media to push back.
News outlets like the New York Times, CNN, Slate, Politico, and New York Magazine all declared Clinton the debate winner.
The Associated Press proudly reported that Clinton’s backers were calling the debate the best two hours of her campaign and supporters received a fundraising email from President Bill Clinton with the subject line “She won.”
But there’s just one problem — the public seems to have declared Sanders the winner.
Social media metrics showed Bernie Sanders was the most-searched candidate on Google and most-discussed on Facebook and Twitter. Numerous focus groups conducted by CNN, Fox News, and more all named Sanders the clear winner for the debate. AlterNet also reported that Sanders won the CNN/Time online poll, Slate online poll, The Street online poll, Fox5 poll, the Drudge poll and the Daily Kos poll.
And Sanders’ supporters believe that mainstream web sites are keeping them from defending their candidate and questioning Clinton’s performance.
Some Sanders backers are accusing these sites of deleting their pro-Sanders comments.

If this Marxist woman wins, our country is doomed, how on God,s green earth can this idiot/ phony Marxist actually garner support. We have a lot of brain dead Americans . Thank you public school systems, the union strikes again
Here, here ! Her real family surname is Rosen NOT Rodham. What do you think she’s hiding there ?
They never taught anybody to think in this country! Their brain is just mush .All they ever have on their mind is booze and sex! No wonder our leaders grow up the same way and one famous one could not leave the intern alone.
A-men !!!! no truer words were “ever” spoken. If she wins, everyone else loses.
Missy H illary is definitely a murderer and lier (Benghazi) and will kill many more Americans for fame. Mr. Clinton performed a “Blow Jo-” in office and Missy will follow in pursuit by performing “Blo-Lesb-n”… a family trait for fame and embarrassing/misrepresenting America, and still the damned fool democratic scoundrels are supporting her? Mr. Biden is just a mere lost and disgusting pale-face puppet being led by-the-nose by a slum scum now weakening our national defense, foreign affairs, and economic status.etc. Wake up America and regain trust-in-God! I don’t know Mr. Trump but he’s taking the lead for a strong America and allies…a-u-a-h-h-h-h!!!
She actually e-mailed Lady GaGa (for what?)
Everybody says their guy won!! I thought with ALL the help that the other debaters did FOR Killary it was inevitable she would win this debate!!!! Now the socialist won with Demon Rat rank in file because they really think the government printing money IS the governments money!! Free houses food healthcare education utilities JOBS GIVEN too people is hard to beat!! I just don’t understand the stupidity of the left to buy into this!!!!
Evidently before the debate the Dem Committee asked the other candidates to go easy on Hillary and even put in a good word for her. So Bernie obliged.
If she wins he’ll get an ambassadorship in Paris. It’s all good for the pretend debate.
considering what happened in Benghazi, I would not want to be ambassador under her watch.
Why is it a surprise to anyone that the establishment media is bought and paid for?
Hey, wait a minute here…..I thought we were told that Bill never uses E-Mail….Oh well, “what difference does it make”
what do you expect?the truth, with the communist nut-work news and the rest of the clinton clan moderating the debacle there is not going to be a looser, with the exception of the american people. I was supprised that the nutwork didn’t get bill clinton to moderate, but he was probably weene-waygging somewhere else at the time . and by the way,one communist,apathalogical truth evader,and a few mental midgets to cloud the issues THIS COULD IN NO WAY BE CALLED A DEBATE………………………..
I would call that debate THE HILARY CONSPIRACY Campaign!!
I don’t believe most rational people will ever support Hillary. Our mainstream news media is becoming more like the Soviet era Pravda every day. Pravda “reported” based on the Communist Party’s propaganda during the days of the Soviet Unions. Most Soviets had a basic understanding that Pravda prompted the party line.
I stopped watching the evening newscasts in 2009. It became clear to me that the news desks for most of the national media was more interested in advancing Obama propaganda than in objectively reporting the news. The ultimate winner will be picked during the upcoming primaries. The decisions in those primaries will be made by the voters, not by the news media nor the non-voting public.
Lets no forget Hillary is being investigated and should be. Sanders definitely won that debate. The media supports whoever they are told to support. Time after time corruption in washington has been exposed and nothing done about it. I say put trump in the white house at least you would get the truth and protection for him as well.
I believe the Obama administration told the Democrats and CNN not to talk about Hillary’s e-mails.
The only reason that Sanders is getting more looks is because of the demographics of his supporters. Both did great at giving their positions. Who won? We did because we found out how they react to stress and what their positions actually are. At this point in the election cycle, who wins one debate doesn’t really matter. Getting your message out is what matters and both did great. Sanders backers are probably younger and more used to going to social media than older Clinton backers. Don’t make more of it than is there.
Actually, it is the Republicans who are starting to panic. They’ve seen that reason and decency can prevail in a debate, and this terrifies them. Reactionary mudslinging and outright lying is fooling no one but the bottom feeders. No one in their right mind would return the architects of the Iraq and Afgan wars to power. Enough ruin and devastation–keep the Republicans out of power, period.
Walt you’re really far out if you want another one like Obama in the white house who has broke so many laws he makes all other
saints in comparison.
Wallace
Sounds good Walt. Let’s go to a one party system. Works for China and Russia, Iran, etc….
Sounds about right that you would want that.
Hillary could kill someone with her bare hands on video and democrats wouldn’t believe it.
Ben Carson for president!
I haven’t seen the debate (I don’t want to end up in the hospital) but Drudge poll clearly showed Sanders an the winner by a HUGE margin. But you are right, I was confused later where everywhere I went showed Hillary won.
Obama wants us to surrender our right to bear arms. Obama gave billions to Iran and weapoms to the drug cartel in Mexico and the rebels in Syria. Obama’s Sec of State Hillary Clinton put The United States and our citizens in danger with her e-mails, and let’s not forget Bengazi. Obama and Clinton have Secret Service protecting them…and with what? Guns, no less. Down with Obama. Down with Hillary. Trump for President2016!
