The debate came as the Democratic race between three candidates - former Secretary of Stare Hillary Clinton, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Governor Martin O'Malley - hit a new tone this week. Accusations, rebuttals, law suits and last-minute deals between the Clinton and Sanders campaigns and the Democratic National Committee over voter list data breaches have shaken up the race infusing a new bit of controversy into the mostly policy-focused Democratic race.
10:44 p.m. EST: "May the force be with you"
Sanders: "I know something about economic anxiety and living in a family that does not have sufficient income."
He called for "a political revolution" and that the country "belongs to all of us and not just a handful of billionaires."
O'Malley: He calls for immigration reform with a path to citizenship and for tough action against climate change.
Clinton: If the next president is a Republican, "it's pretty clear we know what will happen."
She says women rights, gay rights and worker rights "will be at risk."
"This is a watershed election," Clinton says.
And Clinton got the biggest applause of the night for saying: "May the force be with you."
10:34 p.m. EST: Clinton will turn to bill for "advice"
Asked about what Clinton's husband, the former president Bill Clinton, would focus on in the White House, she said he probably wouldn't pick out the china and that she would turn to him for "advice," especially on the economy.
Sanders said his wife would "help him accomplish ... goals" of helping underserved children.
O'Malley said his wife, who is a district court judge, would keep her job if she wants if he were to win the presidency.
10:27 p.m. EST: Chaos in Libya
Clinton, who is often attacked by Republicans over the attacks in Benghazi, is asked about chaos in Libya after the ouster of Moammar Gaddafi.
She says "we did as much as we could" to help because the Libyans "had strong feelings" about how much help they would accept.
When asked ifThere's always a retrospective that mistakes were made," she said.
Sanders says the issue is "complicated" but he disagrees with Clinton. "I'm not quite the fan of regime change that I think she is," he says.

New Hampshire is experiencing a heroin epidemic. The candidates agree that more resources need to be made available for those addicted.

O'Malley says that he addressed the issue as governor.
10:15 p.m. EST: Race
Systemic racism is one of the biggest challenges the next president faces, Clinton says, calling for criminal justice reform.
O'Malley called for increasing drug treatment and to improve "how to police the police." It's worth noting that as mayor of Baltimore, O'Malley instituted tough-on-crime policies that are now being criticized.
Sanders says police officers "should not be shooting unarmed people - predominantly African Americans." He also said marijuana should not be a federal crime.
We need to pledge to invest in jobs and education and not more jails and incarceration," he said.
10:04 p.m. EST: No new taxes

O'Malley says his college plan "goes further" than Sen. Sanders' plan who calls for free college.
He says he can pay for free college on a high-volume trade tax.
Sen. Clinton doesn't support free college. She supports "debt-free tuition."
She says "everyone has to have some skin in this game."
Under her plan, the federal government matches money that the states put in.

He criticizes Clinton for not supporting the idea of breaking up the big banks, which is something Sanders also supports.
Clinton says only three percent of her campaign contributions are from Wall Street.
Clinton also says O'Malley had "no trouble" going to Wall Street to ask for money when he was head of the Democratic Governors Association.
Sanders says he went against President Clinton who decided to revoke Glass-Steagall.
9:44 p.m. EST: But Not Sanders
When asked if cop orate america will love a president sanders, he bluntly says, "No. They won't."

Clinton defends getting rid of Assad, noting that he has killed 250,000 Syrians. She points out that she advocated arming moderate opposition in Syria at the beginning of the civil war there nearly four years ago.

9:21 p.m. EST: Sanders implies that Clinton is a war hawk
Sanders says, "Our differences are fairly deep on this issue."
"I worry too much that Sec. Clinton is too much into regime change and a little too aggressive without knowing what the consequences could be," he adds.
9:19 p.m. EST: Clinton defends no-fly zone in Syria
Clinton was asked if she would shoot down a Russian or Syrian plane in Syria if she implemented a no-fly zone.
"I do not think it would come to that," he says. "I am advocating a no fly zone because it gives us some leverage against our conversations with Russia."
Clinton also says a no-fly zone would create safe zones for civilians.
"A no fly zone would prevent the outflow of refugees," she said.
9:15 p.m. EST: Ground troops is 'the wrong policy'
Clinton says it's "absolutely the wrong policy" to put boots on the ground to fight ISIS. She says that's exactly what ISIS wants.

Clinton is asked if she agrees with New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan who is considering "a halt" of refugees. Clinton says breaks from her fellow Democrat and says it is not necessary, adding that "the process should move forward" while simultaneously fighting ISIS and making sure the vetting and screening is tough.
Clinton says she would prioritize widows, orphans and the elderly.
O'Malley said the U.S. should accept more refugees and says there are bigger threats than refugees. "We need to invest more in the other sort of visas and other sort of waivers."
9:02 p.m. EST: Encryption of websites to battle terrorism
Clinton says she doesn't want to mandate encryption - a controversial topic that the tech industry is opposed. She calls for a Manhattan-like project that brings government and the private sector together.
"I don't know enough about the technology to say what it is but I have a lot of confidence in our tech experts," Clinton says.

I've been for the Brady bill. I've been against assault weapons," she says.

Both Clinton and Sanders take exception to that statement. Clinton tells O'Malley to tell the truth.

"It's a divided country on guns," he says.
8:47 p.m. EST: Sanders Brings Up Iraq
