I don't believe he's changed his views though. He's just spending millions and millions to try to convince people.

I suppose he could spin it that it was so very long ago and he's changed his mind since then.

I hope he is still willing to help whoever gets nominated beat Trump, even if it's not him. I guess I wouldn't blame him if he didn't want to after the way they treated him last night.

just to be a credible Democratic imposter. So far, he's stretching the limits of most people's credulity.

It wouldn't have alleviated his past actions but it would at least shown that he understood and felt empathy. But I don't think he is capable of understanding or showing empathy to those he hurt, and really doesn't want to.

I was disgusted by the screaming and attacks last night. No one won last night but the Democrats lost. I have less respect for Elizabeth Warren for her practic3ed attacks. She has no chance of winning on super Tuesday. She should have been attacking Bernie since they share the progressive lane. Bernie is the one we need to defeat if want to defeat Trump.

for you to see any other candidate but the one you like to influence voters between now and then.

Regardless. Screaming did not happen last night.
