Tonight's Debate Results (Spoiler Alert)

Hillary Clinton solidified her support among mainstream Democrats.

Bernie Sanders hit it out of the park for millennials, but confused everyone else.

Martin O'Malley picked up two points in polling results from confused Sanders supporters.

Jim Webb punted 20 yards and Clinton ran it back for a touchdown.

Lincoln Chafee stumbled badly when questioned about his recent conversion to the Democratic Party. Will announce withdrawal tomorrow.

Joe Biden had a couple of beers and laughed through the whole thing.

Lincoln Chafee won a big jackpot after the debate playing the quarter progressive Wheel of Fortune slots in the Wynn Casino.

"The Benghazi investigation is a web of deceit!"

"That is nothing but a web of lies!"

"You're acting like I have webbed feet!"

"I'm being grilled like I'm on a Webb-er Grill!"

But my predictions aren't really much of a stretch. Hillary's a pretty good debater. Sanders is Sanders and will be at his intense, irascible best tonight, I'm sure. O'Malley's hard to call. He speaks well sometimes, and sometimes fumbles over his words a bit. The other two are non-starters, and don't matter.

Biden's the interesting one, since he won't be there. His decision will probably be based on how this debate turns out. I have another thread on that subject. More predictions.

If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to say so, I guarantee.
