I think this has been Bernie's best debate...hands down!

I think Hillary did just fine.

However, the terse voice, yelling and angry behavior really was a turn off. I think she miscalculated in this debate, in believing that being abrasive is somehow a leadership quality.

Bernie really did well. He outlined so many important points. He seemed genuine. She seem scripted.

Very proud of Bernie

She is forced to say "no" to so many things because she is beholden to special interests. They have purchased her and they have her ear, and she cannot go as far as Bernie. Bernie is not bound by money from Wall Street and other powerful interests, so he is free to champion bigger ideas.

She just repeats them over and over but they are not true. She is hiding a lot. I guarantee that whats in the transcripts is TRADE- I can tell from the shape of what she lies about.

we try to stay positive here about bernie. comparative discussions about the candidates tend to do better in the gdp forum. more give and take there.

Otherwise, it's all Hillary, all the time. She gets to talk after her limits, interrupt, lie, avoid questions, and still the MSM calls the debates for her.

He wins 8 out of 9 primary/caucuses, and you'd barely hear a whisper about it. He should quit while he's ahead! He has no chance! He's only about 200 delegates behind her, but there's no chance he can catch up, much less pass her.

She continues to drop in every poll, but she's the inevitable nominee. She can't win against any Republican, but she's going to be the next president.

And yet, more and more people are feeling the bern. If he was getting equal treatment, he'd have wrapped up the nomination by now.

It makes me sick. I'm telling you, we either have a bloodless revolution, or a bloody one is sure to come. And that's not a threat, it's an observation.
