The majority of political pundits have declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the first Democratic Presidential Debate.
Early in the debate Clinton had one of the best moments of the night. When asked whether she considers herself a progressive or a moderate, she said, “I’m a progressive. But I’m a progressive who likes to get things done.”
In recent months some Democrats have flocked to Bernie Sanders amid concerns about Clinton’s progressive bonafides. In the debate, she addressed that issue by talking up her left-leaning street cred while also positioning herself as a pragmatist.
