WE could ALL learn a lesson from our candidates.

[Happyhippychick]

1. Gracious.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Made me tear up ......

[Hortensis]

44. Yes. I was proud of him. Biggest moment of first GOP debate was

Fiorina grabbing the first opportunity to take a sleazy shallow stab at Trump.

[WinkyDink]

2. Yep, 'cuz once you learn to fake sincerity,......

[ronnykmarshall]

4. How nice ......

[WinkyDink]

9. It's an old joke.

[emulatorloo]

38. It is so cool that you can see deep in the hearts and souls of people you see on TV

[ronnykmarshall]

80. Kinda like Miss Cleo.

I loved her!

[Marie Marie]

5. Civility always a welcome change.

Kudos to both candidates.

[monmouth4]

6. I want that outfit she is wearing. Gorgeous. They both look healthy and energized...n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

7. I'm waiting for them to ...

high five each other and dance. They are BOTH loving this. They are both doing great.

[ronnykmarshall]

8. and yes ....

Hillary's outfit looks great.

[pangaia]

74. So does Bernie's.

He probably didn't think more than 2 seconds what to wear.

[DrBulldog]

23. There you go.

She wears a nice dress, so vote for her. I get it.

[monmouth4]

25. I'm a Bernie supporter but I can compliment a nice outfit...n/t

[BeanMusical]

33. +1

[roguevalley]

28. I loved her suit. she needs to ditch the ugly pant suits. she

can do better. She looks great.

[demigoddess]

30. good choice for her to wear. Better than the pant suits she wore last

time.

[Number23]

10. Animated!

Love the genuine smiles on both of their faces.

[ronnykmarshall]

11. I love it.....

Thank you for posting that.

[Bobbie Jo]

12. Like this

[appalachiablue]

24. Debate moment winner! Both look great. Thx for animation.

[roguevalley]

65. Bernie is a serious man, a gentleman with rock hard integrity. Remember this.

[appalachiablue]

71. To be sure, Bernie is very serious and possesses courage and integrity like few others, esp.

in his profession. I've followed Sen. Sanders for some time and had the luck to see and meet him at a public policy forum in June where he was a speaker. It was an experience I'll never forget, esp. his knowledge and conviction on the issues, commanding voice and presence in a room. His humanity and sense of humor are admirable as well.

[ismnotwasm]

13. Indeed!

A great moment

[beam me up scottie]

14. Have I told you I'm glad you're back?

Because I am, good to see you hanging around these parts again.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. Thank you !!

It's a good night for ALL of us.

[beam me up scottie]

20. Yes, we should all be proud of the Dem candidates.

Even the worst (Webb) is a squillion times better than the Republicans.

Not a pro-life, anti-gay marriage, science denying Christofacist among them.

[litlbilly]

29. I was thinking the same thing. Just watching a real debate was great.

[senz]

43. I just hope the American people noticed the difference.

The MSM gives them so little to genuinely admire.

[Nitram]

54. I subscribe to the Washington Post, which I imagine qualifies as MSM.

Their story on the debate was truly fair and balanced, very objective. No winner was declared. Tough questions about Clinton's changing political views reported, as was Sander's great answer to the question, "whether he could be elected as a 'democratic socialist'." It's not all TV news out there you know.

[senz]

61. Sounds like they did a much better job than the NYTimes.

The NYT is in the bag for Hillary, but fortunately their readers expressed surprise and disapproval at their obvious bias.

It's interesting what's happening at WaPo under Bezos.

[Doctor_J]

15. some hillarian claimed Sanders attacked her physically

Doesn't look like that

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Well that is .....

I don't know that to say.

[okasha]

81. Link?

[Doctor_J]

82. Not finding it. DU's most rabid remaining Bernie hater posted that

Sanders "just had his Rick Lazio moment". The poster does have at least one raving from last night that she deleted.That could have been it.

[okasha]

83. What I expected.

[AtomicKitten]

86. here

[Samantha]

18. I loved the moment Sanders agreed the email controversy should just die

Words to the effect (with a smile) - I am sick of hearing about your damn emails! The American people want to hear about the real issues that impact them.

She laughed and seemed to enjoy his support.

Sam

[mainstreetonce]

21. That was best moment of the night

Good for Sanders

[appalachiablue]

26. It was. Debate Moment Winner by far!

[JDPriestly]

34. In that moment, Bernie let the Republicans know that if they try to pick on

personal issues with negative campaigning, no Democrat will support them.

[Walk away]

36. Were Democrats going to support republicons? That seems like a wasted message. nt

[JCMach1]

19. Just now for Hillary on Republicans going big government on women's bodies...

[demigoddess]

31. I have been waiting for her to say that

for months!! Loved it!!

[moonscape]

22. Here's hoping this spirit continues throughout the primary season

I know it is just who Bernie is, but hope Clinton will be capable of maintaining it.

What an amazing example of how politics can be conducted with adults in the room.

[Cassiopeia]

27. That was awesome. nt

[Fearless]

32. Bernie: Black Lives Matter. IMHO is more important than them being friendly.

He was very forcefully and plainly clear.

[senz]

35. Sanders brings out the best in most people

except ... a few commenters on DU ...

[Walk away]

37. Bermie was ranting about the emails sucking up air and Hillary turned it into....

him supporting her with a smile and a hand shake.

It's nice if his supporters want to see him in control of the situation. Watch the entire incident and see her take back the ball and even get him to smile his (one and only) real smile of the night. He should thank her for the million dollars his campaign just raised off that little fairytale! And she should thank him for being so easy to manipulate.

[senz]

42. Do not try to detract from his gracious gesture.

He could have piled on, but that sort of self-serving viciousness is not in his nature.

Walk away, there are good people in this world.

[Walk away]

45. That was no gracious gesture! That was just Hillary taking advantage of a ranting Bernie.

Try to spin it any way you want on line, but go watch the entire incident again. Why would anyone believe that Sanders was actually trying to help Hillary Clinton? If would make him a moron. If he was then he should just endorse her now and get it over with.

[senz]

46. He doesn't win by slimy, dishonest means.

He's a man of principle.

[Walk away]

47. That would work great in the general!

Luckily, he is still dropping in the polls and we won't have to worry about him giving Jeb Bush some inadvertent help in a national debate.

He didn't have to say anything about it at all but he had to hear himself speak.

[Beartracks]

48. Wow. n/t

[Blus4u]

55. Good lord!

I have never seen a series of comments so out of step with what was taking place.

I think you should just walk away.

[Walk away]

56. Oh right. I forgot! Only pro-bernie here at DU!

I don't think I'll walk away but I will admit that Bernie hates the "email controversy" because while Hillary is being talked about, no one is paying attention to him no matter how loud he shouts.

It's telling that his big moment of the night was getting a hand shake from Hillary!

[roguevalley]

67. Hillary supporter. ask me how I know. IGNORE.

[Bread and Circus]

88. you know there is a time to be conciliatory and gracious. bernie showed that

[roguevalley]

66. walk away, go away.

[SunSeeker]

39. K & R

[rhett o rick]

40. I agree. The difference between that debate and the Republcons debates is like night

and day. Nice to hear people with intelligence speak.

[senz]

41. Just one of the many reasons I'm backing that good, kind man.

A quality person. First rate.

[polichick]

50. Ditto.

[senz]

60. Very wise sig line.

[polichick]

62. Thanks - divide and conquer really works with Americans, but some are waking up.

[senz]

63. Bernie can help the awakening, because his message cuts through the crap.

[polichick]

64. So true - the "revolution" is very exciting.

[polichick]

49. But she was not so gracious toward him - big surprise.

[stevenleser]

51. According to a stat I saw, they both 'attacked' each other 5 times. I'll post it shortly... nt

[polichick]

52. I watched it myself - he was generous toward her; she was opportunistic. Two different people.

[stevenleser]

53. The actual numbers say differently.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/14/politics/democratic-debate-by-the-numbers/index.html

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democratic-presidential-debate-numbers/story?id=34446590

[polichick]

57. I don't need corporate entities to tell me what I saw and heard...

Bernie and Hillary are two very different people with different styles and agendas - it's good that voters have a choice.

[stevenleser]

58. Yes, you do. It was a two hour debate and you can easily miss a statement or two in that time. nt

[polichick]

59. lol - speak for yourself.

[questionseverything]

75. his links do not agree with each other on how much time each candidate spoke

lol

2 huge multi million dollar operations yet evidently no one can use a stop watch or at least one can't

they list numbers of "attacks" with no reference to what the attacks were

hard to believe what passes for news /analysis

[treestar]

85. What mean thing did she do to him?

Aw, poor BS. The only gracious thing for Hillary to do is concede and endorse him.

[complain jane]

68. Why do so many people want to

find a cloud in every silver lining? I can't believe the petty garbage I'm reading here tearing down one candidate to fluff up the other.

Our two candidates in this picture set a wonderful example and set the Democrats apart from the bickering, juvenile GOP by miles. Why waste time on negativity and reading so god damn much into it? It was a nice moment. The Dems looked great. I'm happy. And I'm proud to be a Democrat after last night.

Jesus Christ can't we just leave it at that?

[ronnykmarshall]

69. Right on Jane

[okasha]

79. My gods, what is the world coming to?

Adults acting like adults.

APOCALYPSE NOW!!

[DrBulldog]

70. The moronic pundits believe this was "gift" to Hillary.

The truth: this incident made Bernie look like SUPERMAN saving Lois!

[lovemydog]

72. I love her laugh and I love his smile.

[pangaia]

73. Bravo, Bernie...

[mmonk]

76. Yes ronny, it was quite refreshing and a great contrast with the darkside (Republican debates).

[ronnykmarshall]

78. The Adults have taken the stage.

The clown car may have lost a few more clowns, but they (GOP) are still batshit crazy.

[mmonk]

87. +1

[treestar]

84. thanks, I was wanting a photo like that

for a response to photos where Hillary is talking to Kissinger or the like.

Hangs out with corporatists! Right there being nice to the Third Way! Shaking hands with Wall Street!
