For the first time in my adult life I’m watching a debate in the company of people who have similar political views. I’m pretty vocal, so it’s gratifying to be around folks who are just as vocal, and perhaps more so, than I am.
Bernie Sanders seems to be a big favorite in this crowd, with Hillary Clinton a close second. Thunderous applause breaks out at their every word. I feel sorry for the remainder of the pack, for hardly any applause at all comes their way.
I have a strong sense of fairness, and it seems as though moderator Anderson Cooper hurries the other debaters along, barely noticing their contributions to the debate; although, to be fair, I’ve had several glasses of wine.
Who will emerge as the debate’s winner? I love Bernie, but I’ll confess, any of these guys would be preferable to anything the Republicans have to offer.
Peace, people!
I have to agree with your last point in particular. I think there are characters on Sesame Street I’d rather see elected than anyone from the GOP.

Oscar the Grouch for one.

He’d probably be quite good. He wouldn’t even need to use the White House since he has his own home.

I hear his foreign policy stance is chock full of surprises.

I’ll bet. I doubt even the craziest puppet character would try to build a wall along the border with Mexico, though.
