As Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sparred in Brooklyn Thursday night during a debate ahead of New York's April 19 primary, a winner clearly emerged on Twitter: Errol Louis.
The NY1 host of "Inside City Hall" joined CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Dana Bash to moderate the debate.
It took nearly 45 minutes for him to get a question in, but the Twittersphere was clearly behind him:
You simply don't wait until 9:42pm to pull in @errollouis! #DemDebate
