Republicans? Clown car. Accusations, fearmongering, bullshit claims and ridiculousness, not debate.

Our party won tonight. I think Sanders and Clinton did very well. Next, IMO, O'Malley, Chafee and last: Webb.

Webb was a disappointment, though. He obviously did not belong on that stage. He should be running in the Republican primary as the one sane Republican...and when I lived in Virginia, I worked to get him elected, so I do know Webb.

been emphasizing for months on the campaign trail and for decades in Congress. Issues brought up that Bernie has been the most outspoken about included the decline of the middle class, the extreme level of income and wealth inequality in the US and how we must strengthen Social Security and create education and jobs not prisons and incarcerated Americans.
Bernie was also the strongest candidate on the need to address institutional racism and violence against blacks and people of color and to involve many more Americans in the political process to affect change, and that we must counter the dangerous power of the banks and corporate money now influencing the political process and our government. Bernie did a superior job at the debate, no doubt about it.
