For all the back and forth in the debate tonight...

...

Hillary and Bernie agree on a lot.


To quote my friend on Facebook.

Clinton on the economy: "Let me agree with much of what Senator Sanders said."
Sanders on foreign policy: "Let me agree with much of what Secretary Clinton said."

Remember what ever the differences between Hillary and Bernie any one of them would be 100x better than a Republican.

We all need to commit to ensure that either Clinton or Sanders will move into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on January 20 2017.

Just though I should try a positive thread about both Dems. I am an HRC supporter. Sometimes I have been guilty of unpleasant rhetoric. Hopefully this makes up for some of it.

To take it a step further, look at the republicans ......our candidates are far superior.

Thank you for this OP/thread.

it's a source of frustration to me that if I have to vote for Hillary it will be because I believe she'll hurt my family less that the Republican guy.

Bernie I think might actually do some good.

views on a dime. Hilary is saying what the windsock says to say during this debate. Next week, next month, next year what she says may be quite different at each and every one of those times.

Sanders has the reputation of keeping his core beliefs over decades so, I think that is something to consider here.
