"so yes, I'm biased, and my mind is made up, but he is winning this thing against defensiveness and a well hidden embracing of the status quo with almost all the questions and answers."
It's hard to be objective for me at this point, but I'm with Bernie, and I will march in the revolution.
And bring the family.

I actually felt he did meh on all but fraking and Economy. I probably wrong because I had issues with him taking it to easy on Hillary. He could hit her so hard on almost every issue. Even NRA thing he should of brought up the fundraiser with NRA Lobbyist.

But according to poll from Detroit newspaper 98% sad he won.

I was shouting at him "Bring up the fundraiser. Bring up the fundraiser".

Guess he didn't hear me thru the tv

This is what I wanted to see. He quit worrying about getting too far away from Hillary and Obama and being deferential to the Democratic establishment which is against him anyway. He laid his cards on the table and basically said he was running against establishment politics on both sides of the aisle. I think it will be enormously appealing to progressive Democrats and independents.

responses caught the crowd off guard. IMO he captured their interest with his real time answers. She, as usual, came off as verbose and would not stop talking in spite of Cooper's attempts to corral her.

top of things, no question.

with "bearings strong and certain," in Mary Chapin Carpenter's great phrase.

Bernie Sanders is making history.

daggers from his eyes in her direction. She knows when he's getting the better of her. And shows it.

And I'm from Flint. I just can't stomach watching or listening to her. I know Bernie so well from all the years on Thom Hartmann's show. I don't need to be swayed.

Am I really missing anything?

Watching Hillary's responses at points during the debate, I think even she would agree, and recognizes that Bernie would be a better president at this time. The Clinton's were a decent fit for the '90s, but I believe Bernie is the right person for the job now.
