Democrats Show the Country What a Real Presidential Debate Looks Like

It is not that there are no differences. There are. There are differences in priorities and in the details of the plans.  There were no personal insults.  There was no name-calling. There were moments of strong agreement, head-nodding, and laughter.  I am not going to try to review this whole debate here.  I am a Democrat.  I have been since long before I could register to vote.  I was proud of my party watching this debate and proudest of my candidate, Hillary Clinton, who did a superlative job.

My fav lines: "I know how to find common ground, but I know how to stand my ground." - HRC.  Also, "Enough of the emails!" - Bernie
