Debate Reviews

Going through the reviews, most post-debate analysis gave the evening to Hillary Clinton. Her grades ranged from “pretty good” to “spectacular.”  The loser was –  um, the Democratic debates.  57 percent of voters didn’t know it was on. Oh, well.

Sanders had a good night, too, I am hearing, except for stumbling on gun control. Some columnists thought he had a better night than Clinton.

Consensus is that Martin O’Malley is running to be vice president, Jim Webb is a tad weird, and Lincoln Chafee is even weirder.

One of the most interesting analyses is from Ed Kilgore, who writes that in spite of Anderson Cooper’s best efforts to goad them, the candidates didn’t turn on each other as the Republicans did. “And as a result the event often turned into Democrats versus CNN.”

Any other thoughts?
