Good job, Bernie.

And from what I heard (not watching), Hillary's response was gracious. Good job, Hillary.

Seems like 70% of the posts are bashing one or the other candidates.

Very annoying.

You have options.

"Bashing" happens every primary season. Always has, most likely always will.

That's kinda important to me, and the country really, and to most progressives I know.

You may not have heard that a couple of the nameless candidate's supporters were recently tombstoned for attempting to get others to not vote for the party's nominee if it's not their preferred candidate.

Oh, it's serious all right.

Bernie is a lot better than some in his campaign, that's for sure. I think both he and Hillary (and MOM) realize that in the end the real enemy isn't anyone on the stage tonight. It's the nutjob that one of them will start debating in a few months after the conventions are over.

I would count myself among those who perhaps let my emotions do too much talking since this scandal broke. I would like to apologize to Hillary supporters for my less-than-civil behavior over the course of the day.

Sanders supporters would have praise his "gutsy" out "strong" move.
Any move by Sanders would be considered great.

Before the debate, no Sanders supporter I know was of the opinion that Sanders should apologize. All of a sudden they loved the apology idea all along,they pretend .

I posted something earlier before the debate started that basically said his campaign needs to take responsibility.

Here is what I posted earlier:
