I thought last night's Democratic debate was the best so far ... substantive, heated, but still congenial. What a refreshing change of pace from the abrasive, snarky, mean spirited, non-substantive Republican debates. It was great to see Hillary and Bernie go head to head. Martin O'Malley was always just a distraction, and the debate was much better without him around sucking up air time. Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow did a SUPERB job as moderators. They steered the debate but didn't control it; they let the candidates talk!!! I thought Hillary's performance was absolutely great for the most part. Both candidates did well, but Hillary was head and shoulders better than Bernie ... she flat out dominated the evening. She left absolutely no doubt which candidate, Democrat or Republican, is the most articulate, has the best grasp of the issues, and would make the best President. She will absolutely, undoubtedly eat the lunch of any unfortunate Republican she winds up debating if she wins the Democratic nomination.
