After NBC’s Democratic co-moderator Andrea Mitchell wanted to know from Bernie Sanders in Sunday’s debate about whether or not he regretted bringing up Bill Clinton’s sex scandals, the post-debate analysis on CNN saw panelists Dana Bash and Paul Begala (a former Clinton aide) less than pleased with the issue and did their best to downplay its significance in the 2016 race. 

Host Wolf Blitzer gave CNN political commentator and former Clinton adviser Paul Begala the first crack at this part of the debate since “you served in the White House under President Bill Clinton” and “remember those days” when Clinton’s transgressions were first exposed.
