Not the debate that was hoped for in GD-P

Bernie hasn't pulled out an ax and beat Hillary.

Hillary hasn't demanded that Bernie bow down and kiss her feet.

Martin O'Malley hasn't taken off his shirt to show off his fantastic pecs ... ok THAT'S my wish.

DU needs top get a CLUE .... Bernie and Hillary do NOT hate each other as what their CLUELESS supporters in this place want to believe.

Bernie, Hillary and Martin WILL support the nominee of the Democratic Party in the General Election. DEAL WITH IT!!!

One I wish more could get their heads wrapped around. From the sniping I've seen here lately, it makes me wonder if I haven't accidentally logged in to some RWNJ hatefest website... some days are worse than others.

Reality - our own police have killed more of us in the last twenty
Terrorism is a problem we will deal with

Sanders is correct - Jobs - healthcare - banking - ENVIRONMENT
These are the issues that will have more direct impact on us


WAR WAR WAR - it is not the answer - It is not even the most important question

They both have been around the block 4 or 500 times and understand how bad each other's legs hurt after standing behind the mic hours at a time for months straight.

They have some differences in the fine points..... important differences. But at the end of the day they all three want what's best for the vast majority of Americans.

Politicians have a remarkable ability to be friends with their opposition. I would find that very difficult.

I thought that Bernie was very gracious about yesterday. He is able to rise to the occasion always. I like that.

I like O'Malley.

I do not care for Hillary but she is smart and would be better than any republican. She would be a difficult vote for me but that is not unusual. lol

After all, Politico promised bloodshed in two separate stories. And they had "sources close to the campaign(s)" to verify it.

Golly. They're usually so on the mark.

My neighbor is in his early 60s and is ripped too, works out often, skis all winter, cycles, runs and hikes the rest of the year. He's usually working out whenever I go to his place. Lots of younger women have "eyes" for the guy.

1. "Several voices" aren't "GD .

2. Sanders HAS taken on the DNC, and I applaud that. I didn't expect it in the debate, though. I expected him to focus on issues, and I was glad to see that his fellow debaters, or at least HRC, backed his answer to the opening question.
