And Cuomo was at it again this morning on his show... straight out called Bernie Sanders a "socialist" without even qualifying it.

Honestly, I'm asking seriously. You thought that each candidate got the same level of questioning? And that each candidate was forced to answer difficult follow up questions?

I thought the Town Hall was exactly what I expected it to be. There was a clear agenda (that even my mother who is a HRC supporter noted) and it was executed. I don't think it will change many minds of those who already decided.

After seeing Bernie's pie in the sky proposals, I will definitely vote for Sec. Clinton. A great format that showed candidates' strengths and weaknesses. MOM came across as way to theatrical and posed.

The first online poll I found from Syracuse University was 81% Bernie to 12% Hillarry, best I recall. I know, they don't count, but there it is anyway. Have at it.

It was a real luv fest between them. Hugging, cheek kissing, "how awesome are you?" questions, her quoting his dad.
