Dem Debate- a snoozer...I mean democracy in action.

Watching the Democrats debate and I'm not even sure they are impressing their own supporters.

I'm also monitoring Trump's "live Tweeting" of the debate and there is no there, there. I think he fell asleep.

Sheryl Crow started off singing the National Anthem, apparently to prove that the Libs are patriotic. It will take more than that to convince me.

The big news? Hillary says she is a Progressive and Sanders says he's a Democratic Socialist. We need more gun control (I mean "common sense gun safety laws") Wait, there is no news so far in this debate.

The CNN moderators have not asked serious questions designed to get the candidates to either support or refute Obama. Anyone remember the Republican debates in 2007? One of these things ain't like the other.

I think anyone at the Republican kids' table could wipe the stage with this crowd.

Yet, these debates are a good thing, all things considered. Voters should watch both sides and be informed. Why should victims of the Maxim Effect be the only people who vote?

I want to agree with this but the reality is that I can't sit there and watch them lie for hours. I know they are lying, they know they are lying, and no one learns anything.

Respectfully, do you not at least suspect that every candidate is lying?

I could save you the time spent watching it with the following summation, guns bad, government good, I can give away more shit than you can, capitalism/business bad.

All choreographed by the leftist media to make Hillary, the next chosen one, look good.

Webb sounded like a democrat from 20 years ago. He is done.
I'm not sure when the Democrat Party decided to become overtly socialist, but that time is here.

I learned one thing last night---this country cannot handle any one of those candidates for president. Whoever wins the GOP primary will get my money and work.

Agreed ! The last 7 years have emboldened these people.
