It's about to start - anyone else watching? I am all situated in my studio upstairs, away from the noise, ready to watch.

I am! Drove straight home to catch it. We need to start thinning the herd so this is the time for candidates to put their best foot forward. 187 days to Iowa is sooner than you think.

“How does Trump come within cheating distance of the Oval Office?” Yeah, Mayor Pete, we’ve been asking that for 2 1/2 years!

Healthcare – I have nothing against Bernie. I actually like him immensely and everything he claims is true. BUT M4A is not just an uphill climb; it’s not viable. Not when you take away private insurance. I’ve said this over and over again, you need buy-in from the healthcare and pharma industries, AND retain ability to purchase private insurance. That’s the reality.

Build on Obamacare (jaysus, just passing that almost took the lifeblood of the Dems and now we're getting rid of it?!) and provide a public option such as Medicare.

Marian Williamson...... Sorry but Why why why is she sucking down on valuable time??? Because the Trumpers are all making little donations to get her stage time. That's what they did the first debate, not sure what happened this time.

Marianne...girlfriend needs to answer the question. I'm trying to give her a chance because she's the Deepak Chopra / '60s Flower Child of the Dems, but really, she needs to answer questions with specifics. To this day, I don't know what her propositions are!

Immigration – I agree with most of them. Americans want comprehensive immigration reform. Give path to citizenship. Continue border security but don’t use asylum-seekers as political pawns. Stop family separation. (Btw, despite the supposed end of this Trump policy, I just read today that 900 children were separated again! It’s beyond reprehensible.)

Universal background check bill is just sitting on Mitch's desk per Klobuchar. Safe to say that bill ain't going anywhere.

I'm a huge politics junkie so I'm watching.
I totally agree with MW about agriculture etc and their role in the bad health of people.
I don't believe gun control will ever change sadly. PB is right it's the same words and promises and MW was right!

Hickenlooper – Donald Trump is malpractice personified. Lol.
(Hickenlooper is right - Dems cannot go too far left or they'll just hand the election to Trump. ETA: That hurt for me to admit because Warren’s my gal.)
