As we continue to look ahead to the presidential debates beginning on Sept. 26, now is as good a time a as ever to think about just how far we’ve come since a plethora candidates dueled one another in a grueling primary season over the top two spots atop the Democratic and Republican party tickets.

Hillary Clinton had to defeat a crop of competitors including the wild-haired millennial favorite from Vermont, “indie” senator Bernie Sanders — the democratic socialist who was doing just as great a job wielding the power of social media as his polar opposite, capitalist Donald Trump. Trump’s improbable journey from the WWE Hall of Fame to Republican nominee for president began with memorable one-liners in the fall debates that propelled a once unnoticed event into must-see TV.

But video is worth a million words, so with that said, the Briefing editors have compiled rundown of some of the best moments you might’ve — but probably haven’t — forgotten about:

Hillary Clinton

‘Madame Secretary, that is a low blow’

In an effort to put distance between a red-hot Bernie Sanders and an increasingly popular President Obama at the Milwaukee debate, Hillary hit Bernie on what the self-styled socialist called a “low blow” when she made framed Bernie as an Obama opponent. She proceeded to paint herself as the natural successor to Obama and — a close friend. “I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves,” she said. “The kind of criticism that we’ve heard from Senator Sanders about our president I expect from Republicans, I do not expect from someone running for the Democratic nomination to succeed President Obama.”

‘May the Force be with you’

At a time when America was all-in on the new “Star Wars” movie, Hillary was able to spread her message of “every single child [having] a chance of living up to their God-given potential” to audiences in the closing remarks she delivered at the Democrats’ December debate. Of course, she had to ask voters to channel their inner Jedi when they thought up the task ahead for the country, and what it might mean to elect another Clinton to level the playing field in our country.

Laughing off her e-mails with Bernie

In this great debate moment, she let Bernie do the talking. At the time, it stood in stark contrast to the vicious attacks amongst the Republicans at their debates. Since her e-mail scandal first became fodder for conservative punditry and Clinton detractors to question her qualifications to run for president, director of the FBI James Comey and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch have both cleared Clinton of wrongdoing over her habits of sending and receiving e-mails. Bernie spoke on the behalf of many in America when he said, “People are sick and tired of hearing about you’re damn e-mails!” Clinton’s reaction was priceless.

The Brooklyn brawl

Looking for a knockout punch in a turf war with Bernie in Brooklyn, Hillary booked a strong performance and came out swinging at a time she needed to land a knockout punch during an increasingly contentious primary battle. Hillary’s fight against Bernie became an energetic debate that put to rest any issue over whether she was prepared to take on Donald Trump and the Republicans in the November election, and voters rewarded her for her effort.

Making Bernie look like a curmudgeon

Hillary had some select words delivered with a neat style of poise as she defended herself against Bernie’s attacks over her support of the ARRA stimulus package — and it came only a little ways away from Detroit, home of the once-proud industry that put names like “Ford” and “Dodge” on the international map. Steering the conversation toward the recovery and away from Wall Street, she worked to appear amicable as Sanders lost his cool and snapped, “Excuse me! I’m talking.”
