While he stumbled on one question on foreign policy where he seemingly wasn’t paying attention, he got a raucous response when saying the American people are sick and tired of Hillary Clinton’s “damn emails.”

Sanders also was winning in another area: The Internet.

Sanders also crushed it on Twitter, gaining the most followers than anyone else, more than twice that of Clinton.
