Both candidate went head to head in probably the most liliest of debates. Now that the number is down to two, the issues can be discussed more in depth. Clinton and Sander reiterated their previous ideas but focused on trying to separate themselves from the 'establishment.' In other words, like with some Republican candidates, they want to be seen as innovators and not members of a party following the party's wishes. Clinton had a moment when she was questioned on taking money for speaking engagements, especially from Goldman Sachs which paid her $675,000. Sanders immediately jumped to the occasion to attack Clinton by saying that she cannot be trusted to go against Wall Street. He made the analogy that kids get records because of pot while bankers at Wall Street who destroyed the economy, robbed people of their assets, got scott free and were even bailed by the US government.
This debate is an important one since the New Hampshire votes are at stake. Both Clinton and Sanders nearly finished at a tie, though Clinton won the caucus.
