The debate last night was like "basic training" for the battle yet to come.

For the average Democrat, it may have looked messy and out of control, but it may come in handy when the nominee is running against Donald Trump. Nothing is too messy or out of control for that clown, as we well know.

We may look back on these debates and see them in a different perspective? Everybody knows Donald Trump's game. After last night, any of these Democrats look like they are ready to take him on at his own game.

1. Yeah, it was perhaps a helpful shitshow...

I don’t mind candidates fighting it out - that’s what primary season is all about - but I’m kinda glad I’ll be traveling next week and voted early (decided between Sanders and Warren on the way to my polling place), and can step away from the chaos a bit.

Walking and music have kept me sane during the takeover of our country - think I’ll need a whole lot more of that in the coming weeks.

2. given his recent public appearances

I really don't think his team will let him debate.

I mean he really doesn't look well.

His ego may tell him that he can do anything, but I am sure Jared and Ivanka (and others) are telling him "you already won... no need to even engage with anti-Trump traitors"
