After sleeping on it, I've decided who won the debate. The Democrats and Flint won the debate

This morning's Huffington Post headline really summed it up:

DETAILS, NOT DICKS.
This is what a real debate looks like

And I say Flint won because people got to see our city and its people as a whole, and not just as a headline. I couldn't be prouder to be a "Flintstone" and I want to thank both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton for their support.

I thought the questions were relevant, well worded, and Anderson reiterated the question when he did not get a direct answer.
He was also very informative in explaining some of the nuance for the audience.

They also did a great job of lighting up The Whiting Auditorium. I've never seen it look quite so high-tech!

...as long as we have a GOP majority in congress we will only get a watered down version...if that...like Obama did with Obamacare.

Regardless of who you support now...put your ego aside and do what you can to make sure we get a Democratic president. And then...almost more important...work on your state election. People ignore that and the turnout is very low and they always win.

We need to work harder than ever to keep the White House and achieve a majority in the House and Senate!!

about how it portrayed your city, Siwsan. I didn't get to watch but am not surprised to hear it was once again an adult event.
