(99,710 posts)In a previous post I elaborated on the genesis for this consternation and it resulted in a unjust hide so in a bow to discretion I will not do so again.

(99,710 posts)Comparing the Vermont senator to Barack Obama is analogous to comparing Richard Dunn to Muhammad Ali because they both were boxers.

Hillary has a lot to say about the issues and Bernie seems happy to shout out his stump speech in the answer to any question!
Bernie people want it and I think the Democratic Party should be nice to it's guest and give Bernie more time behind the podium!

(40,416 posts)I have no preference expressed in this Democratic primary here. But this post is utter bullshit.
Which candidate won the Democratic debate is irrelevant, unless one measures things by media metrics, which are decidedly not objective.
These debates are not to decide winners/losers, but to highlight the differences between candidates. No, it is not a perfect mechanism, but it is what it is.
Contrasting the GOP (so-called) debates the only decision one can make here is that any of the Democratic candidates are orders of magnitude above the GOP.
Yes! I have a preference for the 2016 presidential election. But I would prefer not to reveal it within these forums. Such is the toxic nature of such things. I would prefer not to plunge myself into that vat of necrotizing fasciitis.
I will support and vote for whoever the Democratic Party nominates.
