Nothing compared to what O'M and BS got.

She makes me feel like I took an ambien and drank a beer.

Glad I did. Still think the format sucked. It did Clinton no favors.

Again, I'm undecided, but I'm pleased to have such good choices.

I think O'Malley was fantastic.

too bad you Bernie supporters are not....complain. complain. complain. They are ALL intelligent, well-spoken, educated, caring. You Bernie supporters are so closed minded you cannot see the value in ALL of our candidates. You should be should be ashamed of yourselves.

ALL of our candidates did an excellent job this evening!

Is so we CAN decide the candidate we prefer.

Don't SHAME anyone for having a preference.

This is not a dictatorship, but a democracy, in PRIMARY season.

We should form a committee to study all these___
We need to take a look at___
We're not doing enough to ___
We've got to do a better job at___

She has been in Public Service most of her adult life, but still no convictions to actual actions. No policy statements.

Notice she doesn't state:

As President of the United States I intend to____
Or I plan to___

No conviction. Any policy she supports came from others. (First market tested by Bernie.)

She could state her goals more clearly. There is some timidity behind all those phrases you mentioned. She comes across as being afraid to take a strong stand, at least to me. I don't think she is an inspiring speaker. Not much passion. Her story is inspiring, but she isn't. That's why she's my third choice.

better than I do? I didn't say she put you to sleep, I said she bored the crap out of me. This was not her best. She knocked out of the park in the first debate. Not this time, at least not for me.

That's the response I usually have to her.

She goes on and on in a cascade of verbiage....after which I think 'What did she just say?'

what she planned to do. She appealed to the
emotions of the AA community without committing
herself to any serious principles or plans.

But to be fair There is a stronger affinity between
Rachel and Bernie, and it showed.

Tweety on the other hand was terribly dismissive
of him, which is to be expected from a guy, who
applauded W for a long time.
