After losing the primary in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton took on Bernie Sanders on another debate on PBS. She went after Bernie before an audience with a big attendance by African Americans. Clinton tried to paint Bernie Sanders as being anti-Obama and Obamacare. In response, Sanders countered her claims but at the same time called the president weak. He accused Clinton of simply repeating the failed policies under Obama while elevating his own as real progress. He focused on the problems regarding race and the economy while Clinton came across as defending Obama more than presenting her case.
Sanders attacked Clinton for taking advice from Henry Kissinger, a republican who is not well liked among liberals. Clinton attacked Sanders on his vote against comprehensive immigration reform in 2007.
