My take on tonight's debate

I thought bernie did great.I feel he won debate.i felt he was much stronger tonight.I felt he didn't get much chance to talk during foregin policy section.

Big surprise was how well O'malley did tonight.I feel he came off as number 2

I thought Clinton was terrable tonight.i felt she did decent job in first debate even though i thought bernie won it not so tonight.

She was called out tonight.she tried to bring up bernie's past gun votes but thinks she should get a pass for her iraq vote

I thought she was terrable on

saying bernie wanted to end ACA and medicare
she after hinting at bernie as being sexist and racist couldn't take him calling her out on wall street
invoking 9/11 and woman to justify taking money from wall street

I will dismiss anyone who tries to claim she won that debate.I expext MSM to talk up O'Malley to avoid admitting bernie won.

I cringed at Bernie's opening remarks, but then he trounced Hillary on the IWR. He trounced her on her support from Wall Street and every other issue. He was great. Martin O'Malley was awesome so we have two very very good candidates and one who convinced me she is not as bad as Republicans.

I worry about that part of her character that loves talking about war and various involvements around the world, but primarily in the ME. I honestly think if she's the new prez that she will have us involved shortly in another war or more deeply immersed in one of our present wars (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan).

Bernie had the gloves off and in spite of her shell of composure, you could sense Ms. Clinton was shaken. And O'Malley! Tag-teamin' with Bernie!!! Go Martin, Go!


LOL! It just struck me that DWS may well be wishing there were more debates if Bernie keeps pummeling Hillary like this!
