I didn't even say this at the debate party. But, Lincoln Chafee did this the most- he pretty much parroted Bernie's platform. All four of the other candidates did their best to sound like they are about as Liberal as Bernie. Hillary tried to play both sides like she is very liberal but she can be a moderate if she has to be. She was clearly struggling to maintain a moderate look while embracing liberal policies. Jim Webb seemed to lose it at the end though. The trauma of trying to sound liberal was clearly too much and he had to remind himself and us he killed a guy in Nam. I like the granite guy too. He is claiming he has always been very liberal or something like always having the same ideology. I do believe him, since Republicans hate him so much, but he did nothing to show where he would be different. Martin O'Malley I think is the only one who pointed out a real difference and that is his F grade with the NRA, if I was voting on just that issue I would have switched my support to him from Bernie.

There is no quality media in the USA anymore.

TYT gives the media more credit than I do. I believe the media will sacrifice profit and ratings in the interest of peddling their false information.
