Debates can have more than one "winner" and I think both Sanders and Clinton did well.

The clear loser was Jim Webb, who did not present himself well.

You're opinion doesn't fall into the bunghole category.

Just no.

Why not talk about your own thoughts about the debate, instead of using the debate as an excuse to go after Sanders supporters again?

I think Bernie won.

I think Hillary did decently, as did O'Malley.

I think Chafee did okay, and Webb proved Anderson Cooper right about him being "out of step."

Read this forum---how many of the Bernie supporters are going after Hillary---about 8 out of 10. Why don't you hop in those threads and say---hey instead of attacking Hillary---talk about the debate.

Nah---you won't do that.

20. I do read this forum,
Wed Oct 14, 2015, 09:16 AM
Oct 2015

but I don't read all of it.

I read almost no HRC threads, for example, because I have no interest in talking about her.

I'm reading Sanders threads, and Hillary is certainly not the focus of those conversations.

I also have a cup of coffee in front of me, which I am finishing so I can head to work.

Rush on in where, exactly? Threads that I'm not going to open? I should open a thread that holds no interest for me so that I can tell people in the thread what to do?

Whatever you are trying to accomplish here is failing. Miserably.

Hillary did well. And that should make anyone who actually cares about the direction this country is going instead of who's winning the fucking "game" feel good. She wasn't spectacular and she didn't "crush it." Asking Wall Street to "cut it out" was one of the biggest laugh lines of the night...and not to her advantage. Bernie was typically able to connect with people in a way they could relate to and Hillary came off much better than expected in the hot seat and having to come off script. Edge to Bernie.

You Bernie supporters crack me up.

This place---especially GD Primaries--has been taken over by Bernie supporters and turned into a 24x7 Hillary bash. The minute a Hillary supporter pushes back---oh we gotta grow up.

You Grow up.

I think it's the other way around. People are now finding out who Bernie is and guess what? America loves him! Hillary? Not so much considering her favorability is some of the lowest in history.

Her personally. It's some of the lowest in her career.

Meanwhile, reality says what? http://theweek.com/speedreads/583223/most-talked-about-candidate-debate-bernie-sanders--by-long-shot You can keep your corporate owned candidate and we'll take the guy who knows what American's are want. One's in touch, one panders.

it's only because Sanders saved her bacon on that email question.

She should be thanking him profusely today.
