ลำดับตอนที่ #24 : Clinton and Sanders clash one-on-one
US election: Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clash in first one-on-one debate
Mrs Clinton cast him as an idealist who will not get things done
and Mr Sanders accused her of being too tied to the establishment to achieve real change.
The TV debate in New Hampshire was their first since the
Democratic race was whittled
down to two this week.
Without a third person on stage, the policy differences were
laid bare.
The former secretary of state said Bernie Sanders' proposals such as
universal healthcare were too costly and unachievable.
Democratic debate - as it happened
And she went after her rival aggressively over his attempts to portray her as being in
the pocket of Wall Street because of the campaign donations and the fees she
had received for after-dinner speeches.
"It's time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been
carrying out," she said.
Mr Sanders, a senator
of Vermont, used a favourite attack line against her, that she backed the Iraq
War, but she questioned his foreign policy expertise.
The debate comes five days before the second state-by-state
contest in the battle for the presidential nominee, in New Hampshire on
Tuesday.
Other highlights include:
§ She represents the establishment, I represent ordinary
Americans, said Mr Sanders
§ By standing up to big money interests and campaign contributors,
we transform America, he said
§ Mrs Clinton: "I am a progressive who gets things done, and
the root of that word progressive is progress"
§ "Senator Sanders is the only person who would characterise
me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment", she
added
§ Mrs Clinton was asked to release the transcripts of all her paid
speeches - she said she would look at it
§ He demanded the break-up of the big banks but she said her
regulatory policies would be tougher on Wall Street
§ Asked what she stood for, she named clean energy, the affordable
care act and getting paid family leave
§ He said he was stronger because "Democrats win when there
is large turnout"
and he could enthuse
young people

When in doubt, say you're with Barack Obama. It was telling in
this last debate before the New Hampshire primary that both candidates, when
forced to defend themselves on grounds where they felt vulnerable, turned to
Barack Obama for protection.
Early in the debate, when pressed by the Vermont senator on her
ties to Wall Street, Mrs Clinton noted that Mr Obama had taken donations from
the financial industry and still passed comprehensive reform. He did it because he was a
"responsible president," she said.
Later in the evening, Mr Sanders was pressed on his foreign
policy views and willingness to normalise relations with Iran. He noted that he
agreed with Mr Obama on the issue, despite Mrs Clinton criticising the
then-senator in 2008 for being "naive".
The Democratic president is still overwhelmingly popular among
Democrats - and he proved to be a reassuring refuge.
But if this, in fact, revealed where the candidates were weakest, that can only be
good news for Mr Sanders. Polls overwhelmingly show Democrats are much more concerned about the
economy than they are about international affairs.
Despite
the tensions over policies, the debate ended on a warm note, when Mrs Clinton
said the first person she would call would be Mr Sanders, if she won the
nomination.
The
debate was their first without the presence of the former governor of Maryland,
Martin O'Malley, who quit the race on Monday night.
He
was a distant third in the first state to vote, Iowa, where Mrs Clinton
narrowly beat Mr Sanders after a prolonged count.
Mr
Sanders holds a big lead in polls in New Hampshire, which borders the state
where he is a senator, Vermont.
Both
Republican and Democratic parties will formally name their presidential
candidates at conventions
in July.
Americans
will finally go to the polls to choose the new occupant of the White House in November.
The
winner of the Democratic contest will likely face one of Ted Cruz, Donald Trump
or Marco Rubio, who finished in that order in the Iowa primaries.
