  Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks at a debate Friday in Manchester.

  Friday night’s debate in Manchester kicked off with a discussion on the political viability of “democratic socialism” in American elections.

  Moderator George Stefanopolis asked candidates whether the acceptance of the label by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders would damage the chances of Democrats winning back the White House and Senate in November.

  While none of his opponents explicitly said the label would be a detriment in the general election, members of the field’s more conservative wing emphasized the risk in nominating a candidate as left wing as Sanders.
