[WinkyDink]

5. I *heart* Mario! Met him when he spoke at a local college.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Wonderful, eloquent speaker

If I'm remembering correctly, he didn't learn English until he was 8 years old, or so. I guess the family spoke only Italian at home.

As my father-in-law said, he sure learned it well, didn't he?

[Totally Committed]

9. He is brilliant.

This is a man who should have been President. I often wonder what this country would be like if HE had nominated instead of Bill Clinton. Just a pipedream for these days.

I love Mario!

[Emit]

12. On what topic? I don't get cable so can't tune in. n/t

[Me.]

15. The Constitution

and how the power to declare war belongs to Congress and how they have been abdicating their power. There was a reason, he said, the power was given to Congress rather than one man because that one man might be mad(insane), power hungry or stupid.

[liberalla]

34. "that one man might be mad(insane), power hungry or stupid."

Wow. I think we have the Trifecta here, but it's nothing to celebrate.

[saracat]

23. Mario was my Governor.Mario rocks.I wish he had run! He is a "real" New Yorker

not someone who uses NY for a WH launch alone.Didn't Hillary say she had "no plans " to run for the WH " when she was "reelected"? But I guess that is just politics and acceptable to some.Lying is okay when it is a means to an end for Hillary.

[Me.]

24. 'God Forbid'

Thank you Mario

[Auggie]

26. I wish there was a way everybody in America could hear this

[Me.]

28. YouTube?

Crooks & Liars? A start anyway.

[Auggie]

32. Yeah...(sigh)

I want to reach people without computers, or those who don't use them that often.

[H2O Man]

29. Very powerful.

I really wish this nation had the opportunity for his leadership. I think that, from watching this interview, people can understand why that didn't happen. The man tells the truth, a dangerous quality for a politician.

[Me.]

30. Truly Was Inspiring

We've been asking on DU, 'where are our leaders'. He is one of them. I'm so glad to see him, he's been so quiet of late.

[Hepburn]

31. He was outstanding!
