1st????
Need Joe
Dems and GOP are not the same! There are sane people in this debate.
Correct…which is why Trump said it would be boring…important, sane things are being discussed tonight.
Indeed. I must say I am impressed with Hillary and with how she handled stupid questions.
Sanders needs to do more debate prep than thinking of rallies.
This!!!!
Congrats desertflower!!
Twins:) Congrats to you!!
Did he say nuclear energy?
Yep.
interesting how the democrats were asked about climate change and the republicans barely touched it…
I do remember that story when PBO and HRC hunted ’em down!
This is a great nugget about our USTR too!
Wow - great photo!
Bravo to Hillary about RW hypocrisy
Points to Hillary for shutting that Dana Bash/ Fiorina BS.
HRC was passionate there.
yep, I think we could count on her to be touch against the repubs in debate and to stand strong for women at least.
Looking forward to her debating GOP. She’ll eat him up if she wins Dem.
I certainly hope so. One thing is that she’s been so hotly attacked over the years by repubs and media, that she should go after them hard. I haven’t forgotten how she sucked up to John McCain though in 07/08 against then Senator Obama….
She’s evolved since then.
I hope so vv.
fyi I wasn’t a big fan but she impressed tonight. Truth be told, I Would love a real Obama third term.
me too! To a third Obama term, he’s been damn good. I did like here response that she’d improve on his successes. She didn’t run away from him and did embrace his policies, reminded us she was a part of those successes as SoS- so I applaud her for that.
I also liked O’Malley. Bernie is too loud and the other two looked nervous.
Yes, and looked in the camera and said, vote for me or John McCain. I will never ever forget that as long as I live! Will I support her over a repug, yes, but with great trepidation. She two faced. She’s trying to win over the Obama coalition.
yes, like I stated earlier, time will tell on her, whether we can trust her or not.. I’m going to pay strong attention for sure.
Love this freakin’ post! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My take on all this ‘cos I had to find laughter & this just popped into my mind from a long time ago memory, don’t ask why, except that extra leg cannot be resisted:
.
……. deleted at Gazelle’s request
Not a nice guy to be watching anymore - currently in prison in the UK
Ugggh, didn’t know. What the heck did he do?
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-28094561
Damn, just went online & checked, vile creature. Serves me right for not checking him out, hadn’t heard about him since the 60s! Thanks 99ts, he’s just awful. Chips, NW, BTs could you please delete this comment & video. Many thanks!
No worries Gazelle, will delete - a hideous pedophile.
Thanks so very much, Chips! Gave me the creeps reading about him.
No worries - I used to love his songs - my favorite was “six white boomers” - the australian version of Santa & the reindeer - played it every Christmas for years - but just can’t do it any more - and apparently he wants to come back to Oz when released - ughhhhhhhhhh
Bless, 99ts! Hope he never gets back to OZ. I only remember that one. Uggggh, indeed! Just made me think that song wasn’t so funny after all. Uggg x2!
typical fucking teann now - how would you negotiate with the terrorists aka gop?
Still thinking about the response.
I think this debate is quite entertaining and informative.
yes…much better than i expected…. smilin
agree. they covered all the issues and they answered mostly with knowledge and intelligence. None of the hate and crazy so present with the repubs, thank goodness. And they smartly didn’t take the bait (for the most part) of attacking POTUS as CNN was wanting them to do.
i must say that i am feeling a lil bit better after watching the debate…..if the VP does not run….or if he decides to run..how much more substance he will add to the mix….
YUP! I think its been great so far! Maybe DWS will come to her damn senses! This was great!
sanders talks big about getting back both the house and the senate and that’s how he is gonna deal with the terrorists.
#unicornguy
Now I threw up in my mouth…Ivanika Trump interview on CNN…The one we “can’t wait for!”
Trump family values
Mr. Webb…go home to your family.
Chafee is hitting HRC.
My heart isn’t in the debate without President Obama or Joe Biden. I am counting on you all to keep us informed.
Mr. Webb…go home to your family. Take a vacation. Enjoy.
whatever sliver of the debate I caught, one thing that stood out was civility, lack of ugly name calling and candidate’s passion.
yes, any sane person would prefer one of these folks to run our country over one of the crazy haters in the repub party.
O’Malley is speaking truth…
Ok, MOM’s closing says he’s angling for VP slot…
Jim Webb is one weird dude.
webb is in the wrong party.
Yep, he needs to go back to GOP-lite somewhat party, if it still exists.
MO’M closing was ‘spot on’!
O’Malley’s got a good heart. Gotta like him for that.. I’m curious to see how far he’ll get.
Indeed. fuck the media for projecting only the teh crazy 24×7 to the nation.
Has Hillary been reading TOD? Seems like she’s not (or trying not to at this time) saying she’s against PBO policies, but going to improve upon them, per se. No specifics on how or what, or did I miss that part? Jim Webb needs to go away. How did Martin O’M do? His last statement was ok. Jeebus, BernS seems to be on a stuck record, & advertising himself.
You’re right about HRC.
Ah, great, missed most of it except last half-hour. Something ran down my backbone listening to her & watched her eyes, body language, etc. My thought was: is this for real or is she trying to get PBO supporters to come to her side so she can win, then eff you all ‘cos expediency, y’all. She still has a ways to go to get me to go 100% in for her. Joey, where art thou?! :)
Ha I was thinking those same thoughts about her Gazelle, time will tell.
Yes, Sherijr. it seems about her getting in the WH, & not sure yet whether she’s going to build on PBO policies or go 1% corp/hawkish. Turn it all backwards.
I know how you feel. We’ll see what she does to earn our trust.
i think we at TOD knew this
Well said.
I actually pumped my fist in the air when she said that!
Yes, one of her better moments in the debate. Good response to that awful question from Dana Bash.
All of the closing statements were very good (except HRC’s standing-not-running dig). Hallelujah, it’s ohvah!
yah her ending was kinda blah and unnecessary - considering how far POTUS has brought us. But I get that it has to be about her right now and how wonderful she’ll be as President, true of them all. None will measure up to President Obama. But tonight was a stark reminder that we do have to keep a democrat in the White House- when we compare this group to the insanity of the republican debates- there is just no comparison.
You echo my words, which I have been saying all along. This is why I don’t dis anyone of the Democratic candidates. I reserve that for the clown show that is the Republican field. And we’ll deserved, too.
Hear hear! I hope millions of Independents watched this and compared it to the GOP hate-fests.
oops - tough, not touch :)
I agree with you No Child.
No comparison, whatsoever. And I decided tonight that I will not be watching any more Republican debates. Life is too short to do that to myself! These were sane people having a discussion tonight, and I’m sticking with Democrats! :)
oh yes, I will always be a democrat, imo repubs have always been insane.. and mean.
And sad and lonely! Ugh.
All in all a good day for dems and Hillary especially. Now I am slowly gaining some confidence that we might get to keep the WH after all. Hope she doesn’t blow it till 2016.
Watching CNNs post interview of Sanders…first time that he smiled tonight
Anyone agree?
I guess so…..
I think of it as a damocles sword to keep unohoo in line. :)
Depends if it was just expediency for Hillary for tonight or for real.
For me it will always be a question of trust and authenticity. Joe fulfills that requirement absolutely.
Indeed & absolutely, Meta! BTW, thanks for taking care of PBO while he was in your neck of the woods! :)
Absolutely! (I’m agreeing with your every word tonight!)
I disagree.
No, I definitely do NOT agree.
This is the moment that Hillary referenced.
LOL. Your beyonce gif’s are fun.
Yup, she has lurnt her lessons. Hopefully she won’t forget them when she goes ‘south’.
ok, now that is done & dusted, who is up for some teann panel ‘analysis’? zzzzzz
Lol, good one amk :)
i see a lot of commentary like this….they seem to be disappointed
yup, the media wants dems in disarray meme to cover up the fucking reality of the fucking thugs in a total fucking mess.
pahdon, my ff.
Webb and Chafee should just pack it in. Martin O’Malley’s stock should rise after this. I hated Anderson Cooper’s stupid question about not running for Obama’s third term and wish one of them had turned that right around and said, “So what would be bad about that?”
I think chaffee should stick around. 3 member debate is boring.
webb - doesn’t he have another guy to go, kill?
Who needs to watch a debate? I get everything from Twitter.
On tonight’s menu:
Juicy 90% lean / 10% fat cheeseburger grilled on my brand new stovetop grill, seasoned with seasoned salt and pepper, garnished with tomato and red onion, on a toasted bun
Mrs. LL’s homemade potato salad
You’re welcome
But in all fairness I want Joeeeee!
Night!

#imridinwithbidenwhateverhesdrivin
Me, too!
With no Joe in the run my choice is:
1- Martin O’Malley
2-Hillary Clinton
3-Bernie Sanders
Chaffee and Webb do not enter into my need to prioritize.
Any Dem will win my vote over a GOP candidate and their policies in the General Election.
