I did my debate comments on my main blog last night and will repeat them here. First, I have two points to emphasize. There is no Catholic angle apart from increasing social democracy, which Warren and Sanders propose. It is not socialism and Bernie's remark on socialism from Washington to the rich is not socialist.
Socialism is about who controls and should control product prices, the workplace, finance, resources and government. Capitalists do that. That this gives them influence over government is redundant. Nothing that Sanders proposes undies the nature of capitalism. Warren is better on that, albeit without calling it socialism.
Bloomberg is not able to think on his feet and he is clueless about the job of President. President's are moral leaders, not managers. We tried the manager thing with Trump. Insanity is repeating a mistake.
Some think that nominating another woman is repeating that mistake. I disagree. Nominating the person who is taking their turn is the disaster. Sorry, Bernie.
If one candidate is half of the age of three (or four) of the others - all on both ends need to get off of the stage.
Elizabeth had a great night. I am still concerned about the ability of her staff to think outside of their own box - then again, I have the same kind of box.
Amy needs to get dirtier. You cannot be too Minnesota nice - although former staff members assure us that she is not.
I simply cannot see how Sanders can be taken seriously on defense issues. Unless he condemns Putin in short order and in no uncertain terms, I cannot see how we can trust him.
That none of them have condemned Mike Pence on not invoking the 25th Amendment shows a great failure of imagination among the entire field.
