1. I voted for Bernie, but I have to say . . .

O'Malley impressed me as well. Wish there was a way to rec his performance too.

[grntuscarora]

14. Me, too.

Wouldn't a Sanders/O'Malley ticket be awesome!

[Bjornsdotter]

31. MOM

....did very well, when he was allowed to speak.

[sabrina 1]

39. I agree. O'Malley definitely impressed me.

[femmocrat]

2. I voted for O'Malley because of his gracious behavior while being treated badly. nt

[libdem4life]

3. I hope O'Malley gets a big boost from this debate. He did very well.

[Peacetrain]

4. I voted O'Malley.. he got 11 minutes or so to 25 or 26 minutes (each) for both of the other debaters

So he had a lot less time to make his point and I thought he did very well with the handicap..

[Renew Deal]

5. 52 votes in a few minutes

[Luciferous]

6. I voted for Bernie, but O'Malley did really well

[mvd]

7. They were all engaged. Nice, spirited debate without throwing mud like the Repukes do

I thought Sanders did the best because Hillary continues to attack from the right (even using the no tax angle), which actually makes Sanders look even better to me.

I thought O'Malley had his best debate. His comment about what we went through being a depression was right on. It always seemed more than a recession to me. Very underrated moment.

8. Bernie currently winning the Time online poll by 88%

[NowSam]

9. Link?

I want to vote.

[NowSam]

13. Thanks!

[CorporatistNation]

23. I Voted... BERNIE OF COURSE... 89%

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. 90%

[ucrdem]

10. They were all on their game finally but Hillary stayed cool calm and collected

while Bernie chewed the scenery and O'Malley did his me-too thing. I think she walked away with it.

[onehandle]

11. The CLICKY-CLICKY won! nt

[longship]

15. Democrats did! nt

[7wo7rees]

16. We vote no one.

We agree with those that voted for Bernie and also liked O'Malley. Hill just comes across as harsh.

Would it not be fun to have Bernie and Martin, together?

[mvd]

18. Looked like Hillary was having more fun but also seemed more harsh at times

Bernie hit back well though. Anyway, whoever gets the nomination must win - it's very serious if a Repuke wins.

[Beaverhausen]

19. The American people

[JRLeft]

21. I thought O'Malley was awesome too.

[DFW]

22. This is the first one I have been in the States for

I only saw the second hour. I won't even start to pick a winner. I agree with Eugene Robinson--it was a "Bernie Sanders debate." Sanders held his own, but Clinton did as so well, especially since in the part I saw, she was mostly responding to answers by Sanders to questions posed to him. O'Malley got the short end of the stick, but did very well considering the moderators treated him as a peripheral participant.

Both Clinton and Sanders stuck to their main points and skirted vulnerabilities. O'Malley didn't get the honor of being challenged on any of his perceived vulnerabilities, which was almost unfair, as he didn't get the chance to have any challenges tossed in his face to show how he'd fight back. Clinton and Sanders did, and showed that neither of them was willing to give an inch.

The primaries will have to be won on the ground by the organizations of the various candidates, because on the basis of what I saw, no real weakness was displayed by any of them. We have 3 candidates, any of which who could trash any of the Republicans in a non-Fox Noise-addled country. Even in a country where Fox Noise washes the brains of millions of voters, the vast difference in the level of intelligence, competence, and just overall awareness of the Democrats vs. the Republicans SHOULD shine through to all but the most befuddled of Foxsucker voters.

*on edit--I thought O'Malley had a brilliant and relaxed post-debate interview. It wouldn't surprise me to see his numbers go up at some point, if people were still watching.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. I thought O'Malley got some good points in. Clinton delivered a serviceable performance, no major

screw ups, a few good lines.

But Sanders won it.

[Beacool]

25. I always laugh at the polls on this board.

This is an anti-Clinton site. Hillary could cure cancer and she still would lose on any poll posted here.

Why bother creating polls for an echo chamber?

[shawn703]

27. It just seems anti-Clinton because she's Republican-lite

And this is DEMOCRATIC Underground.

[Beacool]

32. Bull..........

But you already knew that. So the guy who just became a Democrat a handful of months ago is now more of a "Democrat" than a former Democratic first lady, senator and SOS?

Please............

[JonLeibowitz]

37. We don't care about labels. Hillary basically channeled HW Bush w/ "No new taxes" tonight...

[Ed Suspicious]

46. Yup.

[Beacool]

52. Yes, because asking for new taxes would be a winning formula in a general election.

[shawn703]

62. Not for someone running as a Republican, you're correct.

[mvd]

56. And they still are low compared to what the benefits would be

We shouldn't say absolutely no new taxes if they can help pay for health care and college education.

[Logical]

30. Lol, anti-Clinton? Try pro-Bernie and quit whining! Nt

[Beacool]

40. Ahhhh, the classy answer.

No one is whining, just stating facts. DU doesn't represent the entire Democratic party anymore than Dailykos does.

[Logical]

42. The DU is extremely liberal, like the Nation and MOVEON. hmmmmmmm.... Nt

[Beacool]

44. That's why it doesn't represent the party as a whole, it only represents the LW of the party.

[Logical]

45. I would agree that Hillary represents the far right wing. nt

[libdem4life]

36. The TIME Poll was 90% Bernie. So was one other non-DU poll.

You don't play the victim card very convincingly.

[Beacool]

43. No one is playing victim.

I don't give a flying fig about any DU poll. Ditto for online polls.

[Logical]

47. LOL of course you don't! nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

50. I got hit in the neck with a flying pig one time. nt

[Beacool]

51. That must have hurt.

A fig would have barely done any damage.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

57. Naw, didn't hurt. It was a piglet. I was on the floor and the piglet was on the sofa and I...

...turned to talk to my friend (who's piglet it was) and the little guy jumped off the couch and hit me in the neck and landed on my shoulder. It startled me, lol.

[Beacool]

59. Ahhh, that's cute.

Pigs are also very bright, some say that they are more intelligent than dogs. Pity that they are so tasty.

[libdem4life]

63. Should do some research before making absurd, almost embarassing statements.

The first one was the TIME poll. The next one was not by DU.

This is what hyperbole and BS sounds like: (cure cancer...echo chamber...I always laugh) It's not really adult conversation.

But, please, proceed.

[still_one]

26. According to DU. So I would venture to say it is not necessarily representative

of anything

[shawn703]

28. its representative of the feelings of Democrats

Because this is, after all, a Democrat friendly board.

[Logical]

33. According to them no longer because we don't love Hillary! Nt

[still_one]

38. You want a national poll of Democrats, she holds a 25 point lead over Sanders

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/poll-clinton-holds-25-point-national-lead-over-sanders-n498071

DU only represents the views of DU, and not everyone on DU is a Democrat either.

[Beacool]

35. Exactly, it only represents DU and its echo chamber.

[Logical]

53. Actually only liberals, like MoveOn.org and The Nation magazine! LOL, nt

[Cassiopeia]

29. I'm voting Martin.

He got a few extra seconds and he was more focused while using them.

[still_one]

41. Yes, he was good.

[Ed Suspicious]

49. He was pretty good. I especially liked him on healthcare. He's a lot more wonkish than Bernie. I

think they would make a great team.

[KentuckyWoman]

34. The American people.

Any of the 3 standing on that stage would be a damn sight better than anything the RNC has to offer.

I'm in for Bernie since the last debate.
Martin - it's not his year but he impresses me.
Hillary - I have my problems with her but I would not hold my nose in the general if she pulls it out in the primaries.

So no matter what, America is better off.

[Logical]

48. Nice post! nt

[whatchamacallit]

54. I didn't watch, but I know Hillary lost

because... Hillary.

[tazkcmo]

55. I subbmitted

ALL the votes for Bernie.

[Kokonoe]

58. Thanks

You represented 90% of informed Democrats.

[Douglas Carpenter]

60. so you're the one?

[TSIAS]

61. BS... eom
