was one Bernie walked through without hesitation. I hope that those who lack historical knowledge of Kissinger's crimes will bother to study up. Beside that, he is also just a nasty human.

I think that Bernie gets stronger with each debate, though today I felt he was physically under the weather with either fatigue or a cold, both would be understandable. I cannot imagine the rigors of a campaign.
I wish there were a way to give some rest to the weary, all of them, really.

I think this is the first debate where he was taken fully seriously by his opponent, THANK YOU New Hampshire, and in the absence of Mrs. Clinton's laughs and derision it was a fully engaged encounter.
