A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote. ## Transcript The American people are tired of establishment politics. Tired of establishment economics, they want a political revolution. We need a government that represents all of us, not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors. Especially with healthcare This is not about math, this is about people's lives. Healthcare is a right of all people. Not a privilege and I will fight for that. The numbers don't add up and many people will actually be worst off than they are right now. One final thought Senator. My thought is absolutely inaccurate. Look, here is the reality folks We have the courage to take on the drug companies and have the courage to take on the insurance companies and the medical equipment suppliers. If we do that, yes, we can guarantee health care to all people in a much more cost effective way. My price tag is about $ 100 billion. A year. Once I'm in the White House we will have enough political capital to be able to do that. Secretary Clinton, you are not in the White House yet. I will do away with the outrageous loopholes that have allowed profitable multi- national corporations to stash billions of dollars in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. We bailed them out, now it is their time to help the middle class. Let's not in any way imply here that either President Obama or myself would in any way not take on any vested interested, whether it's Wall Street or drug companies or insurance companies or frankly the gun lobby to stand up to do what's best for the American people. Let's not insult the intelligence Of the American people? People aren't dumb. Why in God's name does Wall Street make huge campaign contributions? I guess just for the fun of it, they wanna throw money around. You know I am not asking people to support me because I'm a woman, I'm asking people to support me because I think I'm the most qualified experienced and ready person to be the President and the Commander in Chief. We will end the absurdity of women today making $ 0. 79 cents on the dollar compared to men. As President, I will look very carefully about unintended consequences. I will do everything I can. To make certain the United States and our brave men and women in the military do not get bogged down in perpetual warfare in the middle east. Senator Obama, when he ran against me, was against the war in Iraq. And yet when he won, he turned to me, trusting my judgement, my experience, to become secretary of state. Secretary of state for four years? You've got a bit of experience. I would imagine. But judgement matters as well. I know journalists have asked who you do listen to on foreign policy and we have yet to know who that is. Well it ain't Henry Kissinger, that's for sure. That's fine. Let's support. Port. What Secretary Kerry and the President are doing, but let's hope, that we can accelerate the cease fire. Because I fear that the Russians will continue their bombing, try to do everything they can do destroy what's left of the opposition. And remember, the. Russians have not gone after ISIS or any of the other terrorist groups. It's easy to talk to your friends. It's harder to talk to your enemies. I think we should do both. So we do as the United States have to support our friends, our allies in Europe. We have to stand with them. I very strongly disagree. Were those Republicans candidates who say you know what, we've gotta turn our backs. That is not what America is supposed to be about. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4218788/democratic-debate-sixth-milwaukee-poll-survey/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4218788/democratic-debate-sixth-milwaukee-poll-survey/"},"headline":"Vote Now: Who Won the Sixth Democratic Debate?","datePublished":"2016-02-12T03:50:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:41:09.696Z","description":"A post-debate poll","url":"https://time.com/4218788/democratic-debate-sixth-milwaukee-poll-survey/","keywords":["Bernie Sanders","Hillary Clinton","Election 2016","Debates"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta79bd83f8b85045f/69887c415f570f6808b1f82d/timepol-democratic-debate-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-13.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta79bd83f8b85045f/69887c415f570f6808b1f82d/timepol-democratic-debate-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-13.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TIMEPOL Hillary Clinton Bernie Sanders","caption":"Democratic presidential candidates former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen.
