(46,436 posts)I'm such an Indian food fanatic that I have a curry leaf tree growing in my basement under lights.

(9,497 posts)I keep thinking I want to take classes..I love the spice. Well, I am Mexican on my dad's side so grandma got me loving the hot early on. I love Mexican, Indian and Thai food. And really any of the Mediterranean foods, from Lebanese to Spanish. Yum.

Damn, now I am hungry.

(2,427 posts)Propers to Mr. Sanders.
MuseRider
(34,306 posts)a good man and a kind man.
Props from me too. He makes me proud to be a supporter. I was pleased that he apologized to his supporters as well although I did not feel the need for him to do it. I think we all knew he would never have approved of that.
I think he did well, not that you could tell from the TV people but I think he did very well.

(2,427 posts)I understand the online experience was a total mess. I watched on TV and thought they all did pretty well but I think only the politically inclined bothered watching.
I am looking forward to seeing how many actually watched. It's got to be a pretty small slice.
MuseRider
(34,306 posts)A lot of people I know were watching online but had some problems with the feed stopping and starting.
I would imagine it was a small audience. Lots of other things to do or watch. Bad choices are being made for the party, but we already knew that.
After the first discussions before it started if I was not intensely involved I would have turned it off because the commentators turned me off and really, who thought they needed to put a Republican strategist on the panel to talk about Republicans? Who is making these decisions. I almost left to do other things, almost but couldn't.
I think my kids watch them on youtube when they can get the time. Things are so different now, that is why I think the polls are bs.

(2,427 posts)Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I didn't like the way the debates opened at all - and I didn't care for the way they moderated. I just love the fact that MSNBC didn't even bother with post debate coverage - you know they would have spent a couple of hours if the 'cons would have had a debate. It is a sick state of affairs we live with.
Good on your kids!
I too, believe the polls will soon be proven wrong - Go Bernie!
MuseRider
(34,306 posts)It IS a sick state of affairs. I am still reeling over the comment made out loud by Les Moonves about Trump. How could anyone say that or even think that for that matter and still be able to look in the mirror then next day? THAT is a sick state of affairs. We have to live like this. It is about all I can take being in Brownbackistan and living with the country turning back like this.
Sorry, I am agitated about several things and this stuff was really getting to me.
The polls are wrong I just bet they are. I don't know how wrong but I am trying not to feel the euphoria that I suspect we should be feeling. He has a very hard road just to get the primary with all that is working against him. Bluster is all he has? So said DWS tonight on CNN. Hard to fight that when it is said and unchallenged.
I will feel better soon, gotta go let the horses in and bed them down. That will work out the jitters after listening to all of this!
Have a good night!
GO BERNIE!

Cheers.

(34,306 posts)I am in now, it is clear and the sky is beautiful. Where I live we can still see the Milky Way very clearly, it is astonishing. It is limitless and awe inspiring. I feel that way at the ocean as well but I don't get to see that much anymore. It is an unbelievable 50 degrees outside. Windy and nice. So odd, we have had very little winter. Last week I photographed a dandelion growing and a spider spinning a web outside on one of my windows. Scary.
Feel the Bern! Have a wonderful night.

(14,916 posts)and this time around I really think it's right.
Sure, we might all be looking through rose colored glasses, but I think not...
MuseRider
(34,306 posts)but it is easy to feel that way when you are content with your candidate. I see talk among Dems here in my state. Sure my state will vote for whatever red guy that gets the nom and the Dem party will always go for Hillary but most of the people I know who are involved are pulling for Bernie. All of my reasons for thinking this are anecdotal so certainly nothing to hang your hat on but there is just so much of it, so many times you see that iceberg. That is a great graphic. May we make it so.

MuseRider
(34,306 posts)My sons live in the next state East of us so they won't be caucusing this time but they did with us when Kucinich was running. Good, liberal boys . They will vote as will their friends, late 20 and 30 year olds mostly and their votes all apparently are going for Sanders as well. The numbers don't amount to a hill of beans unless the trend follows what I hear when I am around them.

That is pretty inexcusable when we must assume the traffic couldn't have been that intense.

rusty quoin
(6,133 posts)I got tired of hearing his numbers put out there on Thom Hartmann every week. He knows so much. Bernie is what we should go with, and if he loses...vote Hillary.
Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)I don't think he will lose.
If he does, I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
