On the front page as "news" with link to Errol Louis's political commentary "Clinton embraces Obama and wins debate"...

Since when did opinion merit front page headline status?

The belief that she "won" doesn't appear to be a widely held. (The most common analysis appears to be "it was a draw.&quot

Whatever his opinion on the debate, at least Louis recognizes that "the black vote is not Clinton's to take for granted." (Can Bernie Sanders woo black voters?)

How's that working for her?

CNN is ridiculous. They're bipolar these days.

Half of the time they're in the tank for Hillary. The other half they're writing glowing stories about Bernie.

Funny...all of the online polls have Bernie winning the debate 90 percent to 10 percent.

PBS's test group said that Sanders won.

But her buddies (cough, campaign donors, cough) always proclaim Clinton the winner.

Goofy as all get out.

Doesn't matter. Haters gonna hate. Voters gonna vote.

She even answered a question asked of Bernie when he did not answer. He was asked how much his plan would cost. He rambled about something else. He was asked again, again he did not answer so Hillary answered for him. That's sad. It was about his own plan.

15. Because it was a question designed from a Republican frame

The question was how much will his single payer plan increase the size of the federal government?

We're Democrats, why do we care how much it increases the size of the government? We believe in government doing things. The privatization party is just down the hall, first door to the right.

I doubt Bernie has eveen thought of it in those terms. How much the plan will cost (and that must be an honest evaluation, that deducts the the amount we are currently spending), how to get it passsed, how to implement it, those are legitimate questions a Democrat should be concerned about. But being afraid of adding good secure federal jobs is for Republicans to worry about.

I also don't believe Hillary's answer, for a second. She said 40%. That would need to include all defense and state department jobs, plus all of our other agencies, including the monstrous Department of Homeland Security.
