- Was there a line for the ladies’ room?
- I can’t put my finger on it, but there is something about Martin O’Malley that annoys me. I wish he would quit and leave the stage to the two serious candidates.
- I appreciate Sanders’ passionate, no b.s. approach to the issues. Unfortunately, almost everything he says about programs that cost money is a left-wing cliche, and he never deals openly with the tax consequences of these programs or what they might mean to the overall economy.
- The split between O’Malley and Sanders on the one hand and Clinton on the other with regard to ISIS and Assad directly mirrors a similar split in the GOP field. There were times when Bernie sounded just like Rand Paul.
- The question to Clinton about her responsibility for the ongoing problems in Libya was completely fair and appropriate (unlike all of the GOP rubbish about Benghazi). Her comments about the Libyans refusing help were news to me. I would hope that someone would follow up on that in the coming days.
Nothing that was said tonight will make a significant difference in the election. It will be interesting, though, to see if Trump accuses his GOP critics of agreeing with Hillary. I’m willing to bet he does.
