HEADLINE: NBC scores highest-rated Democratic debate since October
// Sunday night’s NBC face-off between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was the most-watched Democratic primary debate since October, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings. The debate had a 7.2 household rating, meaning that 7.2% of American homes with TV sets were tuned in.
That’s an improvement over the other two Democratic debates on broadcast networks this election season. ABC’s Democratic debate on a Saturday night in November averaged a 6.1 household rating. The CBS debate on the Saturday before Christmas in December had a 6.0. //
Greetings from Iowa, where it’s about 5 below zero, wind chill -22! We’re counting down to the Iowa caucuses in about 2 weeks with a candidate each day. We *could* go see Marco Rubio today in our town, but I have to clean the bathroom at the scheduled time. :-) On Friday night, we went to see Bill Clinton at the junior high school behind our house. It was nice – he was on time-ish, there were about 450 people in the gym (standing only) and he was well received. I recalled the last time we were there – December 2007 we went to see Senator Obama. That time the junior high gym was PACKED with over 1,000 – we got the last couple seats in the bleachers on the side, it was a raucous crowd, a wonderful speech and nobody wanted to leave early. Hey – just like a PBO speech still is now! :-)
AAAAAAW………………..WHERE’S THE KLEENEX? MAYBE HE SHOULD ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO GET SOME FOR HIM…AND ANYTHING ELSE WHILE HIS FOOLISH BUTT IS PARKED IN DIZZYLAND!
So folks suddenly realise the massive chance they gave away for bigoted racist reasons - and now they see what’s coming. Why do we always love true statesmen AFTER the fact.
Hello TOD!
Happy #MLKDay everyone.
Cold. Crisp. Dry in MN.
Congrats to HF2 on your Gold :star: and congrats to all the Gold :star: winners since Saturday.
Great work Chips, NW, etc for keeping TOD Rocking! Thanks a Billion!

The poll last week was Not a DC/NY Pundits dream. Up, up to the sky!
I tweeted MM yesterday. He commented about arresting Snyder. I told him if he was so gungho on that, he should do a Citizen’s Arrest. I am probably blocked from him now. This does not surprise me. Why did it take so long for him to go public. Doesn’t he livein Flint?
I would like to send him a picture of the Obamas actually DOING volunteer work for the local communities in DC. That is the kind of thing that MLK endorsed. Not hiding out on sitting in a country headed by a dictator, looking for superficial attention on social media, while trying to avoid facing jail time for crimes that were motivated by a desire to humiliate the Black President!
Those people over in London really thinks alot of Donald Trump. I have a feeling it’s that way all over the world. The only ones who care for Trump and his racists, B.S. is his racists supporters.
Chris Christie tells a 11 year old boy that he will do away with the First Lady healthy eating school lunch program. If there is a person who ought to be preaching healthy eating, it is Chris Christie. He should have told that kid if you want to end up looking like me, then don’t eat healthy food.
REALLY…THAT IS SO RIDICULOUS…THE MENU PROGRAM IN OUR SCHOOLS NEEDED TO CHANGE…KITCHEN STAFF TAKING AN EASY WAY OUT…OPT FOR JUNK! THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT MEALS YOU CAN MAKE WITH HEALTHY FOOD. I’M ALMOST A VEGETARIAN MYSELF HERE. LOSING MY TASTE FOR MEATS. CHRISTIE WILL SERVE GREEN DONUTS AND CALL IT LETTUCE!
There’s this guy with a funny name and a cool plane and a lovely house who gets talked about a lot in Washington, especially at Republican debates, but the Democratic presidential candidates haven’t been talking about him much lately—even though he’s a Democrat, and he’s the president. But at their debate in South Carolina on Sunday night, they apparently remembered that the name of the guy they hope to succeed is Barack Obama, and that they really like the job he’s doing, because Sunday night they couldn’t stop talking about how much they like him and his policies.
G’morning Nerdy - thanks for posting this! :)
Wishing you and TOD a peaceful, healthy, reflective and productive MLK Day.
Congrats hopefruit!
Thanks Don!

And this is not bad considering (1) It was up against the Critic’s Choice Awards (A&E), and (2) the Australian Open Season opener (ESPN)
And Downton Abbey!

loving your comments….muscatinegal…
‘On Friday night, we went to see Bill Clinton’
:shock: :shock: Bill is running again?
‘fraid so, VC. He just has to make it seems as if it’s his ‘wife’ who is the candidate. *nowords
:(
LOLz. Love your style, MP.
Good West Coast MLK Day morning NW, Chipsticks & TOD family.
I received my “Never Can Say Goodbye” 2016 Presidential Calendar. :-)
Has Bernie Sanders made a statement or done anything about the Flint water issue, or is he to busy crying wall street with his one track mind?
Last night, he said the voters should rise up and remove Snyder. Meanwhile…..
from the article..
We often hear from people who ask: How can we help? Here are four ways:
1. Start small.
2. Listen, intently and without invalidation, to those of us most affected by injustice.
3. Examine your power
4. Support urgent systemic changes.
Racial justice is not just our cause—it’s an American cause. And because of that, the movement will continue.
IT IS AN AMERICAN CAUSE…PERIOD!….WE ALL MUST BE INVOLVED!
I PRAY HIS HEALTH WILL BE OK……………………..
Thank you President Obama. No doubt that fellow Nobel Laureate MKLJr would be very proud of you
Here’s a link to the video of MLKJr’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech:

I PUT THIS ON MY FB……………………..LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..LOVE IT!
Have you guys been following this travesty?
Now the poor guy has to figure out how to manage on the rest of his dole from us?? I feel so sorry for him.
The unmitigated gall. It is breathtaking that they get away with this.
AAAAAAW………………..WHERE’S THE KLEENEX? MAYBE HE SHOULD ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO GET SOME FOR HIM…AND ANYTHING ELSE WHILE HIS FOOLISH BUTT IS PARKED IN DIZZYLAND!
Living off the (gasp!) GOVERNMENT, using children as cattle. And barely a word in the MSM.
HF, you and I had the same tweet thoughts ;)
Sorry for the duplication. ;)
He’s the best.

I knew it was just a matter of time before MMFlint made this Synder failure about PBO…..
I tweeted MM yesterday. He commented about arresting Snyder. I told him if he was so gungho on that, he should do a Citizen’s Arrest. I am probably blocked from him now. This does not surprise me. Why did it take so long for him to go public. Doesn’t he livein Flint?
After not posting anything since Dec 30, Little Eddie comes out on MLK day to push some more crap…
Thank you for this, hopefruit… Tweet President Obama’s high polls to Eddie.. see how he likes that.
I would like to send him a picture of the Obamas actually DOING volunteer work for the local communities in DC. That is the kind of thing that MLK endorsed. Not hiding out on sitting in a country headed by a dictator, looking for superficial attention on social media, while trying to avoid facing jail time for crimes that were motivated by a desire to humiliate the Black President!
But then again, he’s not even worth the effort….
i often wonder if this is even Snowie….
Agreed pf - don’t think anyone wants him around anymore - including Putin.
COLLARD GREENS…SPINACH AND KALE……..YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
My new favorite veggie. Had some today.
PROBABLY BECAUSE I ATE A WHOLE BUNCH OF IT LAST NIGHT AND TODAY FOR LUNCH!,,,SOOO GOOD FOR YOU!
NEWS ARTICLE OUT FROM HOLLANDE..IN PUBLIC……………….FRANCE IS IN A STATE OF ECONOMIC EMERGENCY….
:cool:
Excellent, Africa ;)
Great tweets africa, thanks - I retweeted them all! :)
GRACE AND INTEGRITY GO A VERY LONG WAY! I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE HAD THIS PART OF MY LIFE FILLED WITH SUCH AN AMAZING PRESIDENT.
BRAVOOOOOOO
with all that was going on, on a Sunday night and Yet, Dems garnered 12.5M?
Imagine, had that been say, tonight?
And I’m glad that more people watched it because they now saw the Democrats actually WANTING to be associated with PBO, not running away from him.
Those people over in London really thinks alot of Donald Trump. I have a feeling it’s that way all over the world. The only ones who care for Trump and his racists, B.S. is his racists supporters.
Bella do you mean they like him?
COS, the little bit I heard, no they do not like Trump.
Thanks Bella.
Thanks for sharing this Nena!!
but, but, but Donald Trump & his bought-and-paid-for media told me that Americans are JUST ANGRY AS HELL and getting ANGRIER BY THE SECOND!

Well said Bella - he is a walking talking example of why FLOTUS started the healthy lunch program

I JUST HAVE ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE LOOKING AT THAT FACE!
ABSOLUTELY…I LOVE YOU TOO JOHN LEWIS!
The only disrespect has come from the US Nena - everywhere else he has more respect than any other president of the past 50 years.
Does anyone here watch The Royals?
If you do…can you explain to me why the King died?
I’ve watched it all, and I don’t understand.
I simply don’t understand.
LMAO…Gun Rights rally FAIL!
Gradually, hope the continue to fail.
Looked at the pictures of the “crowds” - if nothing else they are dying out.
They all look alike ?
I was just watching book tv and some old white guy just asked John Lewis how awful it was working on the Benghazi Committee.
The moderator had to tell the man that it is Elijah Cummings that sat on the Committee, not John Lewis.
Sigh
I LOVE THIS…I WISH IT WAS ON BILLBOARDS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!
Now that sure looks Great! ;)
Very interesting article, Iran is flooding the markets with “Texas Tea” and the prices are dropping like flies. You gotta love the free market baby!
do you think this is an attempt to derail the Saudis
