6. Reinforcing many of the negative perceptions

people have about her. Certainly not coming across as credible, statesman/woman like, or likable. This is going to hurt her, and it should.

10. I disagree. He's been subtly accusing her of being bought and paid for...

... so asking him to either come right out and say so, or stop, is fair. Now, of course, those transcripts are going to have to come out if they exist, and let's see if her words back up her claim she isn't being bought.

But Bernie may be taking the "high road" now in the primaries and has every right to brag that he's only taking campaign funds from supporters for now, if he plans to fund the General by not playing by the rules as they are written, it's delusional. If we're going to win, we have to work within the system, because even if it's broken now our Republican opponent will be taking the lowest road there is.

And it's a demonstration of how she will fight the Republicans on attacks. That she will say "Either put up or shut up". She was a lot nicer than she was to Lazio, the Republican she debated for NY Senate.

4. Very ugly.

She attacks and then claims that it is coming from Bernie while she does so. Stunning.

She has hardly talked about actual policies and any specifics.

This seems all about trying to reduce Bernie by basically claiming SHE *IS* Bernie, not him.

11. Clinton and her supporters are ever persecuted and always victims.

Always attacking by and/or while playing the victim card. Doesn't your bleeding heart bleed for poor, poor disempowered Hillary?

Anybody who has the gall to publicly express her or his political disagreement with Clinton or her supporters is by definition mean-spirited, racist and sexist.

8. I never disliked her until tonight. If she's our candidate I'm not moved to canvass for her.

That'd be my first election not canvassing in about 20 years. Maybe this aversion will pass... I hope... But right now I have 0 enthusiasm to go out of my way to help.

14. driving roads & freeways in my very blue area, only 2 types of bumper stickers are seen

'Bernie 2016' (I've got one, too) and variants of 'No More Clinton/No More Bush'

I expect to be seeing lots more of these two types
