Fact-Checking the Democratic Debate
By Calvin Woodward, Associated Press WASHINGTON

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/ap-fact-check-democratic-debaters-facts-36351336

"THE FACTS: As Clinton suggests, Sanders' plan would indeed mean a radical change in direction — one that makes the government the payer of health care for everyone, not just for the elderly or the poorest Americans or members of the military."

"Clinton is right that he opposed various versions of the Brady bill with longer waiting periods. But his poor marks from the NRA reflect a record that does lean toward stronger gun controls. Sanders now says he would support exposing gun makers to lawsuits."

"THE FACTS: It's true, as Clinton said, that the 2010 financial overhaul law, known as Dodd-Frank, already gives the president the authority to force large banks to break up. Sanders has pledged to use that power if elected, while Clinton has not."

=========================
Thanks to ABC News for this report.

Imho, Hillary Clinton had a Fantastic Night tonight! She was in full command and control of the issues and while Bernie attempted to retort on some things Hillary returned the punch with more power and facts behind her words. She did great and I give her great KUDOS on being the Big Winner tonight!

But with the exception of the gun control part, I like Bernie's ideas.

He is very wrong on the gun manufacturers issue though. I can't support that.

Hillary Clinton could work a glory hole in a truckstop restroom and TrueBlue would call it a rousing success in voter turnout.

You know, you really need to quit echoing your fantasies here and trying to pin it on Hillary. Shame on you!
