So, is Crowley still the devil?

I had a hell of a day and fell asleep before the debate started. I woke up a time or two during the debate but didn't get much.

maybe I should have used "the devil" - I figured it would be an obvious euphamism.

That being said, with some of the vitriol that has been flung her way ...

(she has been called "the devil's spawn" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4391172)

4. An important lesson was learned tonight. By Willard, of all people. Don't try to bully Crowley.

Flatter her instead, like Dumbya did to her. Bullying pisses her off and she crushes you like the bug you are.

I was very impressed with Ms. Crowley tonight and I most definitely did not expect to be. I'm amazed. Willard is, too.

5. No, if she ever was.

Never watched her. She did very well, and had to break up a couple of 'wrestling' matches and kick rmoney a couple of times.

She also had what may be remembered for a long time, she 'fact-checked' rmoney, and confirmed that the Prsdident had, indeed, said the Benghazi thing was due to terrorism the day after. SHE wins for that one, and so does POTUS.

Doesn't mean she'll stop shilling for R's on her show, though...

Three cheers for Candy! I hope she keeps up that attitude on future interviews.

... she ran a fair and firm debate, corrections or fact-checking done on behalf of dumb shit Mit, and she won my respect back for this!

Candy, leave fucking CNN. You can do better and you proved it tonight!
