I love it when people support and endorse their candidate without ripping the other

THAT'S what breaking down barriers and starting a revolution looks like.

1. Me too. Hoping to have a NICE thread for the debate tonight.

2. This morning, TV interviewers attempted to lure Bernie into

combative comments about Hillary. He brushed those childish attempts aside and discussed only the real issues. He didn't want to waste valuable time gossiping about his opponent.

3. Agreed, actually. "Apples of discord" scattered freely here certainly won't do much to dislodge

...those toxic, powerful interests everyone, ultimately, is saying they're against...

4. I don't mind an honest critique of the candidates' strong and weak points.

Especially during primary season when we are expected to make choices.

5. Some Bernie and Hillary supporters need to take a lesson from our two champions.

The onstage debating is very civil and focused on issues.

They do go after each other, especially recently, but without overt hostility.

But the next time Hillary interrupts Bernie, he's going to give her a severe pointing to.

6. As do I!

I'm always looking for the wheat among the chaff.

7. kick'n'rec!

8. When someone says

Hillary has taken money for speeches from large banks That is valid.

But if HRC camp gets surrogates to say "Sanders does not under stand blacks, and he only connects with "white young men".
Then you go and have a very well respected African American Civil Rights Leader lie on camera to swiftboat Sanders on his Civil Rights.
That is ripping the other. That is what we call race baiting. And I see that all time done by the GOP.

white young men is a dog whistle just like it is for Fox news to say young black males all time.
