Insults and insinuations flew Thursday in Brooklyn as Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met for the 10th Democratic debate.

From the start, the gloves came off as the two candidates went after each other on support for an increase in the minimum wage; ties to Wall Street; transcripts from Clinton’s speeches and who is qualified to be president.

The two debated in advance of Tuesday’s New York primary. Clinton, in the latest polling, is ahead of Sanders in the state by an average of 17 points.

Will their performances in Thursday’s debate make a difference in the vote? What do you think?

Here  are some of the highlights from the debate.
