Sanders kept veering between defense of the ACA and support for just replacing it with single-payer, and his interaction with the hair salon lady from Texas (where he effectively said she should be responsible for providing insurance for her employees, and she responded that she couldn't even afford insurance for herself) was absolutely disastrous. Cruz starting off every answer with some attempt to relate to the questioner (including the particularly strange, incest-vibey comment when he told a pregnant woman who already had a son named Samson that she should name her future daughter Delilah) was especially annoying and came off as very politician-y, but he certainly made no critical mistakes the way Bernie did.
Voted Cruz, but it was much more so that Bernie lost than Cruz won, in my opinion. I'd have to rewatch it to see if there's a soundbite that could be used in an ad that captures the whole thing, but again, Bernie's interaction with the hair salon lady was disastrous. That lost the debate for him.
