War, war, war. When do we get to their other major priority: tax breaks for billionaires?

is put the Republicans in their place with proper contempt. He regularly calls them immoral and grotesque. It's a big reason why he is where he is right now as a candidate. All Democrats should speak this way.

This is the government and PRESIDENCY of the United States were talking about here. Every GOP candidate doesn't seem to take it seriously. Every one is sophomoric! These people shouldn't even be on TV in a civilized nation. (Maybe a sitcom)

Seriously, I love Sanders and his comments might have dulled the pain.

But I am not going to watch republican debates unless there is a guy and two robots sillouetted in the lower right corner of the screen mocking the Repubs relentlessly.

Flat tax or unspecified tax changes was all I heard regarding that came close to any policy. There were no specifics about the one area they want to increase spending MIC. Be certain when Democrats go on stage the right wing shills will be center stage to ask questions. CNN is more despicable than the expected low life's from Fox.
