8. I saw that one and laughed. It was chocked with banner triggers.

10. I have AdBlock Plus on

not sure if the banner triggers are ads, but I don't get them -- but guessing that is what you mean

6. Sanders was worth watching but what was that chalacious CNN Drum banging sound fiasco

7. #1, what a disgusting "Beyond Thunderdome" intro,

focused on how CNN was bringing the people this election.

The focus on the MSM forum and the MSM moderators in all these debates should be alarming.
It's funny as hell when done as in a "Guts. Glory. Ram" commercial, but to give over a country's formal political debates to such a circus? What the hell are you thinking, USA?

Now I'm going to try to listen to these guys - I don't even think about trying to listen to a Republican debate.
I can usually get a few minutes into a Dem MSM debate before ... well, I just have to switch it off. It becomes unbearable. This is a country 14 years into an ever expanding war in the middle east, killing millions of innocent people and sending even more millions fleeing in desperation, and which doesn't admit to what it is doing. That reality won't be addressed. The topic is taboo. An actual discussion about the TPP and possible alternatives to the kind of free-trading privateering mindset underlying the TPP, is taboo. That's all "moderate" and "centrist" sacred ground, the MSM won't trample it.

9. It is sad. People in the future are going to wonder if we were idiots....

I read somewhere that TV is geared toward a 12 year old mind.

I think CNN aims lower.

A lot lower.

5?

13. I'm 25 minutes into it and Bernie Sanders is smashing it out of the park.

For him to catch my interest to that extent.
"Unbelievable."

14. Bernie mentioned his vote against the Iraq War and his opposition to TPP and the trade

agreements although not directly asked about it.

Hillary talked about the past. Mercifully, the video cuts most of her town hall speeches off. She does not seem to have plans for the future. Maybe they were in the part that was not on the video.

Bernie was great. He is the least war-mongering of the bunch. Probably less of a war-mongerer than even he admits. I think Bernie will be a good negotiator on foreign policy.

Hillary talked about herself a lot. Talked very little about American and where we need to go. At least that applies to the part of her responses that I saw.

15. The feed has been terribly interrupted for me.

I was enthralled by the segment with Bernie Sanders.
He has me totally cooked.

I fast forwarded past O'Malley.
It isn't his time.

I listened to the part for Hillary Clinton until it cut off 1/2 through her pitch for a continuation of the ME war.
I'll give Hillary Clinton one thing, though. She can appear to be young, or old and wise, at her whim, and she's a total pro.

Why am I reminded of Tammy Fae Bakker, with better and in fact the best that money can buy make up artists. To put on this show.

16. I think Bernie can win if he runs with Warren as VP.

This is my judgement, because I'm considering that he's only good for a 4 yr term until he's exhausted.

With Warren in the offing, it's a no-brainer.

[JDPriestly]

17. Hard to say. Some families are very healthy. He seems really healthy.

JFK was a relatively young man, and he did not finish his first term. You never know. Age suggests, but does not predict, longevity.

[delrem]

18. Yes, he is very healthy. I'd bet on it.

He is also wise. That's why I'd bet on it.

I think a Sanders/Warren ticket would be unbeatable.

I just think that's true.
