Buttigieg gets slapped around, Yang comes out as most relatable, but Sanders took first place.
The three-hour marathon that was the sixth Democratic debate in Los Angeles—there are another six left, by the way—has ended with Senator Bernie Sanders coming out on top. The top progressive candidate left the debate stage continuing his better-than-Elizabeth-Warren run. He failed to rack up any viral memes along the way, but that's not his style.
He received applause when he said America should divert much of the money they are spending on weapons to fight climate change:"Maybe, just maybe, instead of spending $1.8 trillion a year globally on weapons of destruction, maybe an American president—i.e. Bernie Sanders—can lead the world, and instead of spending money to kill each other, maybe we pool our resources and fight our common enemy—which is climate change.
