I think Hillary kicked ass tonight (HILLARY GROUP)!

[Kath1]

I absolutely loved it when she said we need to embrace Muslim-Americans rather than alienate them (as Trump would do).

There were three fine candidates on that stage tonight and they all did well.

But Hillary has my vote. Her experience and her knowledge of world affairs just shines.

Madam President 2016! Right on!

[lunamagica]

1. And the Flint closing? AMAZING!. Even MIchael Moore was wone over by her

That's saying something, isn't it?

[MADem]

3. That was a total BOOM! Goes the dynamite...!!!

Everyone had to follow her LEAD.

She -- quite simply -- EXCELLED. What a debate!

[Kath1]

4. Damn right!

She was excellent tonight! Beautiful!

[MADem]

2. Kicked ass, took names, wiped the floor--it was a STELLAR performance. Spot on!!!! nt

[Kath1]

9. She really did kick ass, didn't she?

Wow! She was great tonight. She was right on 100% of the time. She kicked ass with class and looked damned good doing it, too

[MADem]

24. She looked very presidential. She's got to be pleased. nt

[Kath1]

27. She will make an EXCELLENT President.

She is an excellent and smart woman who knows how to get things done.

[MADem]

31. No doubt Kath--no doubt! nt

[riversedge]

55. :-) Well said.

5. Heavy.com poll

Who won tonight's debate

Bernie Sanders 89.98%
Hillary Clinton 8.01%
Martin O'Malley 2.01%

YAY BERNIE!

[lunamagica]

8. Great! vote early, and vote often!

[still_one]

10. Quit spamming the Hillary group, and go post your worthless online polls where they

are welcome

[gwheezie]

12. Bernie is winning in the du poll too!

That should put him over the top.

[MADem]

61. President Kucinich knows all about that! nt

[Cha]

18. Oh Please. Take your fantasy poll where it's appreciated.. We're into reality here.

[Kath1]

22. Yes, we are into reality here and that reality is....

Madam President 2016!

[Cha]

25. ..

[MADem]

32. You're in a protected group. Take that stuff to the BS club.

We know your team swarms the online polls--big whoop!

6. Hill

She was refreshed, and assertive but attentive, sharp and cordial at the same time. Very professional. And she came out with a lot of fresh stuff. I hate it when debaters rattle on, bloviating and using the same old buzzwords.

[still_one]

7. I agree.

In fairness I thought they all did fine though.

[Kath1]

13. They are all much better than the Republican Neanderthals.

But I think Hillary did a remarkable job with some tough questions.

[still_one]

15. yes. I also thought O'Malley did pretty well.

[Kath1]

17. I love him!

I live in Maryland and he was a great Governor. But Hillary has more experience at the international level.

[Treant]

58. O'Malley would be

my easy second choice. He's articulate and intelligent, with good ideas.

[still_one]

60. you're right, but lacks the experience that Hillary has

[gwheezie]

11. Terrific debate

What a contrast to the whiney baby debate from the GOP. Hillary killed it. I admire her so much.

[Kath1]

14. I love her.

I think she sealed it tonight.

[Gothmog]

16. Sanders did a poor job tonight and did not look presidential at all

Sanders has one issue and used this issue to explain all problems

[Kath1]

19. Agreed.

He did not fare well tonight. This was Hillary's night!

[Cha]

20. Glad to hear it. thanks Goth!

[MADem]

29. I think Sanders 'base' liked hearing that same idea about campaign finance.

But after the third time he dragged it out, it was like "Huh? Come on--say something different for a change....that CAN'T be the answer to every question you're having trouble answering."

Sanders gave his ardent fans a bit of bluster and "big banks money campaign finance ya ya ya" but he was repetitive. He didn't grow his base with his performance, but he probably didn't lose any of those diehards, either.

I do think Clinton helped herself greatly with her superb grasp of policy issues--and she was lightning quick on the draw, too--no hesitation.

The Flint finish was genius.

[gwheezie]

33. Bernie didn't lose his base

But he was all over the place, shouted most if the time, sounded like he lost his point a few times, veered off to his regular talking points. His foriegn policy answers were very vague and highlighted his lack of experience and knowledge of the mid east issues. It's all well and good he wants Saudi Arabia to team up with Iran but he entirely misses the point this has all been a proxie war between Iran and Saudi Arabia all along. Very naive.

[MADem]

34. The other thing that didn't help him is when he couldn't hear the Youtube question. nt

[gwheezie]

37. Yes, and it could have been a tech problem

But it looked like he wasn't paying attention

[MADem]

39. Agree on both points. nt

[okasha]

62. Bernie unleashed his inner Donald.

[gwheezie]

63. Lol,nt

[bluestateguy]

53. He reminded me a little of Mike Gravel 8 years ago

Ok, maybe not as bad, but the cadences were there.

[riversedge]

56. I would not want to turn on the TV in 2017 and have Sanders lecturing and pointing his finger

at me and world. nope. The image is not good--plus he yells most of the time. Not presidential at all IMHO

[Cha]

21. Mahalo Kath!

[Kath1]

23. Peace & much Love, babe!

Did she kick ass tonight or what? I loved it.

[Cha]

26. I just got home.. and I'm

loving reading all these reports!

[Kath1]

28. I watched it all am I am elated.

She came through beautifully!

HILLARY 2016!

[MADem]

30. I think they are re-running it on MSNBC if you have cable. nt

[Cha]

46. No, tv.. but, I even missed the online opening. I'll see it!

[Kath1]

36. I loved how she indicated that she would would build on the Obama legacy.

That is fine with me because I have LOVED the Obama Presidency and I want PROGRESS to continue!

[gwheezie]

40. I think he's been a transformational President

I've said this before the next president is going to have a big space to fill. Glad that Hillary wants to build on it.

[Kath1]

41. Obama has been an AMAZING President!

Hillary has been a part of his administration and she wants to move forward with it.

I think she looked very Presidential tonight. Cool, calm and in complete control of all the issues.

[Cha]

47. That is sooo the way to do it, Kath.. only a fool would not recognize all that

President Obama has accomplished all these years.. in spite of all the Obstruction!

[Kath1]

49. Damn, Cha!

I have so much loved his administration and I hate to see it end.

But there is hope with Hillary. I am very confident that she will continue an Obama-style Progressive agenda.

[Cha]

50. We're so Fortunate to have such an Awesome Democratic President and one in the

wings such as Hillary!

[Kath1]

51. F***ing awsome.

Good things ahead. I can feel it.

[EileenFB]

35. Love this!

Hope you don't mind but I just had to use this on my Hillary Facebook page tonight.

[Kath1]

38. That is a very cool graphic.

I love it. Cha finds the most excellent images!

[Cha]

44. Please do pass it on, Eileen!

[Tarheel_Dem]

45. I'm loving that pic Cha. Might need that for a new avatar.

[Cha]

48. Great idea.. if you can fit it in.. I might need to add it to my sig with the same hope

It is stunning.. all that pink and black really makes it pop!

Tarheel

[oasis]

42. Hillary was in command of the facts on all issues, as usual. (eom)

[Kath1]

43. She rocked!

Cool, calm, collected and in charge of the facts. She had an EXCELLENT debate!

[SunSeeker]

52. Totally agree!

[Hoyt]

54. I'm not sure she was the clear winner last night except for the fact that I am even more

convinced Sanders can not win the General Election. I like Sanders passion a lot, but we need more than passion - - an experienced, pragmatic person in the White House who can get things done. Sanders would be another McGovern or Dukakis, I'm afraid.

[Coolest Ranger]

57. Poll people take not

I CAN'T WAIT TO VOTE FOR HER

[ismnotwasm]

59. Yeah she was awesome

I honestly thought Sanders was floundering, although he looked great--except for the booger thing, but that can happen to anybody.
All three looked polished and ready, but as usual Hillary shone, and I agree with other mentioning Flint was a big A+
