I'm trying to be gracious but watching her makes my teeth hurt

[Armstead]

[BeyondGeography]

1. If you watch Cruz first it's really not that bad

[Armstead]

2. Rubio made my brain explode

Cruz made my....oh I won't go there.

At least Clinton didn't invoke the support of the Almighty God in her speech

[BeyondGeography]

3. Had the sound off for Rubio

I guess I wimped out. Couldn't handle both.

[Armstead]

4. Between Rubio and Criue I actually prefer Cruz

He at least has kind of a sense of humor

Rubio is a charmless, vapid automoton, programmed with hateful bile

But they're both truly awful

[BeyondGeography]

13. Cruz has a hard time holding in the laughter sometimes

Wouldn't he be something to watch for the next four years in the White House? I'd have to come up with previously unexplored coping strategies.

[Armstead]

21. One might be a permanently unplugged Television set

[Docreed2003]

51. In all fairness...

He was "anointed" by the Almighty, at least according to his dad!

[Matariki]

5. LOL

very astute point!

[Darb]

9. I think that is a really stupid thing to say.

Considering it helps the Repugnants. I wonder sometimes.

[Ken Burch]

7. You'll notice she got the hell out of there ASAP.

She knows she's got nothing to gloat about tonight.

[roguevalley]

15. she says "I" all the time and Bernie says 'We'

[shanti]

49. Excellent observation

And very telling.

[CountAllVotes]

29. She should have NEVER declared victory!

and it has been said that whoever told her to do that was going to "probably be in a lot of trouble" ... thanks Bill!

[amborin]

48. it was outrageous and unacceptable

[840high]

46. I wonder who will get yelled at tonight?

[AgadorSparticus]

8. Stop it. Let's keep it real. If she takes the primaries, we'll be voting for her in November.

We are all in this together. Cruz took Iowa from Trump. Now THAT'S painful!!!

[jeff47]

11. Not really.

The last time, IA voted for Santorum. The time before, IA voted for Huckabee.

The Republican side is utterly dominated by evangelicals. And they chose candidates who go on to lose everywhere else.

[AgadorSparticus]

14. Even though I know that, part of me just doesn't want Cruz to even get near the GE

Too many what is pop into my head

[Darb]

12. Good luck with that sentiment.

Some of these "Bernie supporters" act very much like they would rather have President Cruz than President Clinton. It is fucking nuts.

[AgadorSparticus]

16. Yes. Probably true. But this isn't new. If it makes you feel any better,

This happens every election year. Democrats tearing each other from limb to limb. And then the vast majority will refocus in the general election to get down to business. I have faith this year will be no different. No one wants a fucking Cruz anything because that is just too horrific to even contemplate. Not even in jest, my friend. Not even in jest. Just seeing Cruz's face gives me orbital tics.

[Darb]

17. This place gets more and more unreadable by the day.

Gotta bail. Can't take it. Hoping for the best.

Peace.

[AgadorSparticus]

23. Sometimes you gotta take a breather. Hang in there! It's going to be a bumpy ride.

[Darb]

34. "Che works hard for the money."

I get it Agador. "I made it up, I made it up!"

[AgadorSparticus]

37. Your Whatamallonness. Lol. One of my favorite characters

In one of my absolute favorite movies. So damn funny!!

[notadmblnd]

32. Bye Felicia

[Darb]

35. I got your goodbye.

Right here.

[notadmblnd]

36. I bet you do.

[Darb]

39. Oh I do.

Right here.

[notadmblnd]

40. I suspect there's no here there.

Those who can do, those who can't- talk.

[Darb]

41. Tease.

Say hey to Rosie.

[notadmblnd]

42. get a clue.

[Darb]

43. Come on.

Try.

[notadmblnd]

44. .....

you're a funny guy

[Darb]

45. Thanks.

You win.

[AgadorSparticus]

25. Don't be part of the we. That's fine too. But I will speak however I wish.

[AgadorSparticus]

31. You can start now? You are a little sensitive, aren't you? Hope that made you feel better

Sounds like you want to pick a fight. Apparently, it is a real grievance to suggest we are all in this together. Such blasphemy!

[Darb]

38. Ain't they sweet.

If only Bernie knew.

[AgadorSparticus]

50. You're right. Irony is that I AM a Bernie supporter.

Perhaps it is because I didn't feel ENOUGH of the Bern to meet comfort levels? it is almost kind of funny, actually.

[Darb]

52. I like him too. A lot.

You won't ever catch me talkin' shit about Bernie that is for sure. I am just on Hillary's bus. She gets a raw deal and it isn't accurate how she is portrayed, by the rabid right who has been lying about her for years, and some Bernie folks who repeat those lies and throw some fresh shit on top of it.

Yeah, she is a powerful, well connected woman. No doubt. So?

[AgadorSparticus]

55. I feel the same way. I have always felt that she got a raw deal from

A lot of people i.e. Benghazi. She is a very intelligent and driven woman so I can see why she is targeted. Capable, driven women don't sit well with the ol boys club. When you look into her history (I have) she has always been a champion for certain vulnerable populations. I have no doubt she would make a great POTUS. And if she gets the nomination, I would support her in a heartbeat.

But i am feeling the Bern. The more I see him, the more I hear him speak, the more compelled I am to vote for him. He is different and has so much integrity. As much as I would LOVE to see a woman in office right now (trust me, strong pull for me), I am gravitating to someone with the integrity in their core and see what that would look like in the white house. I feel like he is different.

But either way, I do feel that the next potus will be a Democrat and will be instrumental in marked changes to society to improve the human Condition. I was really excited to see gay rights come to fruition. It marks a big change in our society and very exciting to witness. I hope we see more barriers brought down and I think we will with the next president.

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. I don't have a lot of confidence in someone who cannot master email. n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

47. The truth is, I don't have a whole lot of confidence in a whole lot

Of people. Especially in Washington. You know why I am voting Bernie? Because not only is he different, but he proved he can win the general election. That was a clencher for me.

But Hillary is a great candidate too. And while we may not like everything she does, she is a helluva lot better than a rabid batshit crazy right wing evangelical lunatic. It seems to me, politics has moved to a new arena. Mainly that the right is so fucking crazy. And we shouldn't forget that. I don't come on to DU too often anymore, so i don't know all the in's and out's of who is on what team. I don't care. I won't engage in the Hillary v. Bernie bullshit, either. I will vote for both and I will defend both.

[dixiegrrrrl]

56. she is a helluva lot better than a rabid batshit crazy right wing evangelical lunatic

See, that's the thing.
We are all too often forced to choose between bad and worse.
Meanwhile, our Dem party has become Republican Lite, and only looks "not too bad" because the nutz like Cruz are so starkly Hitler II.

As a result, I get torn between Emma Goldman's quote: "if voting changed anything, it would be illegal"
to
All ballots should have an option for..."none of the above".

[AgadorSparticus]

57. I think there are plenty of bad choices out there, but I don't think Hillary is one of them.

I know what you are saying about the overall tilt to the right, but it is what it is. I personally will always vote for the more progressive candidate that has the BEST chances of winning. I won't throw my vote for just idealogue. There's too much at stake. I am not one who will vote for idealogue while Rome is burning down. Just turn your head to the right. It's a god damn circus.

And, for once, I am glad that a candidate like Bernie Sanders is getting the traction that we haven't seen in the past and is truly a viable candidate. I truly think he will take it all the way and I am excited about it. But just because I am voting for Bernie does not mean I am going to excoriate the next most progressive person out there.

[renate]

53. I agree 100%

President Cruz or President Rubio is unthinkable.

[Volaris]

54. Meh..Trump didnt need it the way Cruz did---

Cruz NEEDED a win in Iowa to show that he has the backing of the Evangelical Base, or he would be about done. Trump can still clean house in NH (a more prescice indicator of who takes the nomination on their side anyway), and so the first 2 contests are essentially a wash.

the REAL knife fight for them is going to be in SC, mark my words. Get the popcorn its going to be very bloody.

[HereSince1628]

10. Things go better with MUTE which I did after her nose suddenly stretched out

and broke some ceiling lights.

Hillary is back to Universal Healthcare. The only way I can makes sense of that is to think she's planning to build on Obamacare by using federal marshals to reach out and enforce the mandate.

[Beaverhausen]

18. You need to work a little harder on that "gracious" thing

You are not doing it right.

[Armstead]

20. I know

[ecstatic]

22. huh? nt

[FrenchieCat]

24. well I"m sure Sanders will have free Dental care for all.....

maybe in 2025! That will be cool! Know I will love that!

[Armstead]

26. Actually to tell the truth, I wear dentures

My headline was kind of a metaphor

[Live and Learn]

30. My gosh, those speeches were torture to watch. Thank God Bernie was last.

Now I won't have nightmares.
