4. well here is the thing for people in great denial - he is still in the race.

how about getting Clinton in there debating some people or is she afraid of the email topic now?

2. He should debate Cruz. The runner-up match up.

[Renew Deal]

20. Bronze medal match

9. I see. Bernie is a hypocrite. Other candidates who refuse to debate

the loser (mathematically eliminated) are cowards; yet Bernie is not willing to debate other candidates who don't have a shot at the nomination?

11. Which means anything can happen! He should reach out to O'Malley!

16. Are you serious?

For heaven's sake. Bernie is not Jesus. He's not. There are no golden chariots. He's not going to save your life. He can't even win a primary.

17. All candidates back out of debates once they are presumptive.

Bernie has no way to win. It's over. He's done. Your doom and gloom scorched earth tactics aren't going to change that fact and your emotions in all of this should come as no surprise because so many of you allowed this charade of an idea that he still has a path to continue long after it was beyond hopeless. Now, the crash is beginning, and, from the looks of things, it's going to be a long fall.

6. O'Malley shines in final Democratic forum.

'Martin O’Malley, in perhaps his best performance of all the nationally televised candidate events, got the audience cheering just by standing up and taking off his jacket. This format, a town hall with most of the questions from the audience at Drake University, played to his strengths as an engaging speaker with strong empathy for his audience.

O’Malley didn’t have a likeability problem — his problem is that voters aren’t convinced his electability. His best moment of this forum was when he was asked what his supporters should do if the O’Malley campaign isn’t viable in every caucus precinct. “My message to O’Malley supporters across the state is this: Hold strong at your caucus,” he said.

O’Malley’s performance will persuade his supporters to do just that, but the fact remains that Clinton and Sanders are battling for the caucus win. Beyond the likability factor, both leading candidates did well at contrasting their strengths and positions against the other without resorting to cheap shots or personal attacks. . .

This campaign has been and will continue to be largely about issues and experience. But voters looking for some signs of humanity from these candidates saw glimmers from both of the poll leaders and a shining beacon from the underdog.'

O'Malley were actually given equal time, unlike what happened in the previous debates.
