I didn't really watch the debate closely last night but from what I did see, it seemed like Clinton was cementing her nomination likelihood, and Sanders seems like a good choice for running mate. I know Biden has all sorts of reasons for staying out to this point, but it would have been nice to have him there, too.

What are your thoughts?

Just wondering what a Sanders/Trump debate would look like! Never happen, of course.


Me too, but it would be interesting to have Clinton, Sanders, Biden, Trump, Fiorina, Rubio, and some others mix it up on stage together!

Really boring probably. Trump would just go and spout his insult one liners and just ignore anything Sanders would say.

Reminds me when I used to get up early to feed the chickens and the hogs. Just throw the food down in the dirt and they'd all come runnin'!


I can believe it. CNN was down in Ferguson and St Louis County at the I-70 protest and constantly was twisting little details such as calling the rock-thrower a 'protester' when it was a teen who lived in the apartments near Hanley and I-70 who ran back into his building after throwing the rock.

If it weren't for the independent journalists, citizen streamers, (sometimes) Vice News, what was happening during the unrest would have been twisted even further and the BLM may have died in it's cradle.



Bernie seemed to win by the focus group at CNN, the number of Twitter followers gained (tracked by Forbes), analyst at Salon and this blogger at HuffPo went through an entire series of polls and surveys stating a case that Bernie won.

CNN = Faux, bought and paid for.

Sanders is the only candidate speaking for the general population.
Given the opportunity, he would bring in a new beginning for working people in the US.
I hope he wins the Oval Office.

I would be happy to give him to you if you would also take Murdoch.

We take him, you put up with gales of laughter
wafting back across the order when he gets
elected and we graciously return him to his
palatial digs in New York city, in the name
of good international relations!

Well Canada does have Harper so sanctions on maple syrup make as much sense.

Looks like the betting sites (like Microsoft Research???) and statistics site, like Nate Silvers' still have Bernie soundly losing in the race for the nomination.

One of them said that the debate was for who would be Clinton's running mate, not the candidate, and after seeing how Bernie didn't attack Hillary full bore, like debate advisor's recommend of a trailing candidate, I tend to agree.
