The Democratic debates in 2016

lets say it's Hillary, Bernie and Jim Webb for example. I see 3 adults talking intelligently about the issues, probably agreeing more than they disagree, and not going for clever sound bites. Compare that to the Republicans debate, with 3/4 of them saying God told them to run, denying evolution, Benghazi, IRS yada yada yada.

A question for those who say they would never vote for HRC. Suppose Bernie runs in the primaries but say he WILL support HRC if she's the nominee?

if you (as I do) respect Bernie Sanders, it might be one of the things you take into consideration.

for example have the candidate sit around a table and be able to question each other instead of trying to describe their middle east policy in 30 seconds

I could give a shit about the person as a personality nor do I have any personal loyalty to them. I support Sanders as the representative of policies, positions, and aspirations.

Clinton will be Clinton contested or endorsed. Her policies, positions, and aspirations remain the same and I won't be supporting them period.
