#DemDebate: Who won over younger voters?

With the first Democratic primary debate now behind us, the question now is who won the night? Who will surge in the polls?

And, who will win the youth vote?

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and self-identified socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, who were front and center for the entire broadcast, both discussed their college affordability platforms. Sanders called for free tuition at public colleges across the board, while Clinton explained her plan as more of a work-study program.

“This is the year 2015. A college degree today is the equivalent of what a high school degree was 50 years ago,” Sanders said, “and what we said 50 years ago and a hundred years ago is that every kid in this country should be able to get a high school education regardless of the income of their family. I think we have to say that is true for everybody going to college.”

The senator explained that his plan will place a ‘speculation tax’ on Wall Street firms, which he believes will provide full funding for free college.
