at the way our candidates conducted themselves at the debate Tuesday night.
They did so with integrity, knowledge, maturity, humor, passion, tact and magnanimity. And in stark contrast to their Republican rivals.
So while I think my candidate, Hillary Clinton, was best prepared and presidential — my main take away was a deep sense of pride of where we, as Democrats, are at now. If we can unite behind our nominee — whoever that is — I am convinced we can win back Congress and re-shape the Supreme Court for the next generation.
And wouldn’t that be a lasting legacy we all can be proud of ?

The first and most important contrast was the one O’Malley articulated in his closing statement. 5 candidates committed to inclusion of immigrants, LGBT rights, minorities and women. 5 candidates committed to diplomatic solutions to security threats that recognize climate change is one of the biggest threats of all. 5 candidates pledging to get money out of politics. No candidates on the other side can say any of that.
Coming into the debate I was pledged to Sanders and still feel he has best articulated what our party should stand for and who it should fight for. That said, I am convinced, in a way I was not before, that Clinton is committed to those same values and recognizes how to achieve them within the government we have. O’Malley has come a long way from all lives matter, and I would be proud to vote for him if he became our nominee as well. So I’m pumped and think we can win this thing! If your reading this Debbie, we want more of this!
you have a special way of speaking the truth that often escapes this aging Baby Boomer. You are a credit to your generation.
I am convinced that we are gonna kick those lying puke assholes come November ’16 and it’s gonna take them years to recover from the whippin they’re gonna get !
