Did Hillary really triumph at the debate?

On October 13, 2015, the presidential debate took place for the Democrats. Doyle MacManus, LA Times writer of Democratic debate a talking-point triumph for Hillary Clinton, expresses his thoughts on the winner that the press has all agree on. Although, MacManus made it clear in the title on whom he was wanting to write about, please read the article to see if it sways your thought about the winner of the debate. 
It's clear that Clinton, “embraced a role as partisan warrior, as if she were already — or again — the Democrats' presumptive nominee.” She was more polish and quick responsive because of her experience of being on the debate floor. Although, should I blame the questionnaires of giving her questions like “What enemies are you’re proud of?” Or should I just be irritated on her responses.

Majority of MacManus's article is evidence, providing a long list of debated questions with Clinton’s responses. When I read the questions that MacManus choose, there was really not enough questions on her own plans, as in about ISIS, Putin, and or Benghazi. From the highlights of the answers that Clinton provided being a women with experience and progressive. Sure there was a question about her opinion about Bernie Sander’s idea for banks, but it wasn’t appealing to me about her short response. Where is this triumph that the press is talking about?

In fact, MacManus does provide his own commentary about Bernie Sanders, another well-known Democratic Runner. My first assumption was that he was using Bernie’s points to compare to Clintons, but it was just Bernie’s commentary that I saw a poor use of evidence.
I think that whoever saw the debate could bias about who was truly the winner depending on what side they are on. All over you see the press point that Hillary Clinton was the winner but there are some online public opinion polls that state otherwise. So my opinion didn’t change on who I thought who won the debate, and this is coming from someone who is not even a Democrat supporter.
Was the audience applauding Sanders, Clinton or both? It's hard to say.” – Doyle MacMancus.
