Clinton had a really good night, and so did Bernie. O'Malley's final thoughts were brilliant.

Chaffee and Webb not so much. I like what one analyst said, that Webb is clearly a very intelligent, thoughtful...Republican.

... something similar that Hillary only moved up a notch but Sanders moved up to be able to punch down at people like Trump etc

But we all know who and what she stands for. Golden Calf/Bull is so eating our country out from the inside.

1. Sanders is honest enough to call out corruption but isn't smart enough to see it in Clinton.

2. Sanders ISN'T honest enough to call out corruption if it isn't "nice", which makes him a shitty President to tackle Wall Street and the Repukes.

3. Sanders is both honest AND smart, and the fact is that Clinton just isn't corrupt.

Take your pick. Unless you see some other rational way of looking at it.

I don't really have any evidence one way or the other.

OP didn't provide a source or link

... going the reflexive Hillary Hate route

If you have to be unquestionably breaking the law in order to be "corrupt" it's one thing, if you consider stretching the law almost to the breaking point time after time "corrupt" it's another.

I think Sanders is using the first definition while a lot of the perception of Clinton is she skates very close to the edge and the edge is further out there than it should be in the first place.

We know she's bought and paid for but she's better than any Republican, but far from better than a true progressive.

her returning the favor? Please!

... the candidates can throw stones

...either like many Sanders supporter are doing with Hillary

... way to his campaign.

This is the false ass'd expecations that set people up for failure

When was the last time Bernie was the favorite of the NRA? One time last century, I believe. He and his d minus rating are anathema to the NRA.

... when it comes to crap like their stances.

Sanders doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt on that issue

last century support for the NRA, with Bernie having a very respectable and consistent gun record with the biggest foreign policy blunder in American history?

I don't feel the need to further argue the point.

... the NRA or had their support or had their gun support.

Facts matter

about Bernie and the NRA. They have hated him for about two decades.

... one in their right mind takes those jerks seriously on anything.

Either way, I'm glad I saw Sanders tonight.. he's not pious, righteous, entitled or throwing stones like some of his

How do you explain his lifetime D minus rating? I'm all ears.

... despite the politically motivated D rating by the NRAssholes... Sanders votes are pro gun... Sanders is unabashedly pro gun... hell... he even defended his position tonight on guns ... it was weak... but he defended it.

None of these candidates can throw stones

... in their mothers daughter should be able to get a gun without some checks and balances.

That's not anti gun or even pro gun control ... that's common sense.

That doesn't make him not pro-gun...

I'm not pro-gun, I don't think everyone should own one and I think their use and ownership should be restricted to what the 2A said in regards to a regulated militia.

I come from an area where the lack of common sense on guns has hurt a lot of people

Guns are a serious public health issue. We need major reform. I might even be willing to go for the Australian solution to gun massacres, but that is way to the left of any Democratic candidate in history. Gore and Hillary in 2000 is as far left as we have ever been, but I think it will be quite a while before any candidate gets that far left again.

... guns.

Look, if Sanders gets into office I'm more concerned he'd find Trump and punch him in the face than I am concerned that the country will progressive a lot.

I would enjoy Sanders punching Trump in the face...

It feels good to think about that.

The beginning of the Australian solution. She renounced that in 2008 and hasn't touched it since. Nobody has.

He is in a race against her to run for president. He did a real positive, and politic thing when he said enough with the damned emails. That was great, and very smart.

Not to call out Clinton on corruption was also a very smart move. It just wouldn't get him anything.

To his credit, he did call out Clinton when she said her plan to regulate Wall Street was 'tougher' than Bernie's. Bernie wasn't having that.

however, being non corrupt is not necessarily a high bar and not what we should be aiming for in our elected leaders.
