61. My take away from this debate ...

Fri Jan 15, 2016, 12:31 AM

Jan 2016

Trump won.

Marco Rubio really is one of the meanest, most bitter, uncharitable, extreme politicians I've seen on the national stage.
Trump is a lot of bombast, but I don't think he is as deep down hateful as Rubio.

Cruz got in some good punches, but he also took a lot of damaging incoming.

Kaisich looked the most reasonable ... but that is not saying much.

Bush, Carson, Christie ... who cares?

What awful bunch of people.

Democrats need to nominate Sanders because he will beat any one of this bunch and progressives will have the most progressive President since FDR, or ever! This is our chance -- we need to seize the day!
