Hillary Clinton Wins Big in Vegas

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Since Tuesday night’s Democratic debate was held in a Las Vegas hotel, let’s start with the money question: Who won and who lost?

Undoubtedly, Hillary Clinton was the biggest winner, partly because she was playing for the highest stakes. She flew into Nevada as a wounded favorite, whose stumbling performance during the past six months, much of it provoked by the issue of her personal e-mail server, had left many Democrats wondering whether she could get it together in time to win a nomination that was supposed to have been hers for the taking, let alone to win the general election. If she had come across as tetchy and defensive, as she has so often this year, or if she had committed an embarrassing verbal gaffe, the pressure on her would have increased still further, and the chances of Vice-President Joe Biden entering the race would have gone up.

DSB's note:

I would be remiss if I didn't note the fact that all our stellar candidates acquitted themselves admirably and how impressed I am and was by Senator Sanders' passion and advocacy.

It was a great night to be a Democrat.

2. All our candidates acquitted themselves with aplomb.

Let us rise above the fray, be beacons of light in a sea of darkness, and celebrate our stellar field of candidates.

3. I will try but the beacons of darkness are pulling me in the other dirrection.

7. Wins big? Nice try, but no.

The MSM of course supports HRC's unflinching neoliberalism.

She is the he pet of the 1% and was at home in Vegas promoting casino capitalism.

This OP / article is all opinion and no substance.

8. I have nothing to say other than to say when it comes to presidential candidates we have...

I have nothing to say other than to say when it comes to presidential candidates we have an embarrassment of riches.

[U of M Dem]

9. Are you for real?

Bernie is the sole, non-millionaire and the sole, anti super PAC candidate. Bernie is humble and modest regarding his day to day finances opting for coach on airlines and public transportation.

But other than those inconvenient facts I agree with you that that politics is awash with the dirty money of corporations and wall street.

10. Yes, we have stellar candidates. If you believe our candidates are less than stellar ...

Yes, we have stellar candidates. If you believe our candidates are less than stellar there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.
