Good debate

A very good debate. I had a few issues - particularly the way Hillary wanted to rap herself with the Obama mantle - but on the whole a very good discussion of the issues.

A far cry from the Republiklan Trumpfests.

My only question: what cabinet position should O'Malley fill in the Sanders Administration?

As maybe Secretary of HUD and Howard Dean as Secretary of HHS.

And that goes for a Clinton administration as well.

Clinton did indeed need to hark less on Obama's coattails. Sanders should have left Hillary's speaking fees alone, too. Why spoil a good debate with tired clichés we've all heard 100,000 times already? Both should have known better.

The best line of the evening was when O'Malley said to stop calling people who we send into mortal danger "boots on the ground," as there are real flesh and blood people in those boots.
