I am hoping you spend some time commenting on it Prof, interested to see what you thought.<br /><br />Myself, I am happy that the two frontrunners acquitted themselves so well. I am also happy that the whole thing looked so competent and focused on real issues for the most part. <br /><br />Anderson Cooper was decent, although he was a Village Pundit in that he kept trying to bait the candidates; to their credit, they refused to engage, which (like in WarGames) is the only way to win.<br /><br />So the viewership was less than the Republican debate. Like an orderly traffic jam attracts less rubbernecking than a twisted metal accident.<br /><br />But Bernie's response on the emails was not only perfect, but made Hillary his buddy. When she is elected, he will find he has a WAY higher level of influence, which will be good for all of us...zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185073155616331734.post-22039422225535535372015-10-12T03:07:16.634-07:002015-10-12T03:07:16.634-07:00I am looking forward to it as well, though I'l...I am looking forward to it as well, though I'll be teaching until just before 7:00.

But Bernie and Hillary have both been very good about sticking to the issues, both of them are moving the right (I mean LEFT) way on their positions, and while Ander-Coop won't be as good a moderator as Kindly Doc Maddow or Jon Stewart would be, he promises to be better at being issue-oriented than on the ones on the Insane side of our political parties.zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.com
