I finished watching tonight's Democrat debate which I enjoyed the format CNN presented (like a Town Forum).  It seemed obvious to me that Hilary Clinton was coached in a way to sound more personnel to the average voter, which is something her people had publicly stated she wanted to do many of months ago.  She came off genuine this time and not as scripted which should help her out in the polls.

I thought to myself about how much both parties (Democrat & GOP) have changed over the decades including their stances on certain topics. 

It almost seems like the Republicans have moved left and became very moderate Republicans borderline Democrats with candidates in this race that were former Democrats (including the leader Donald Trump).  On the other hand the Democrats have moved so far left that they are turning into a Socialist / Communist party, (as feared by Radio Persona Howard Stern).


I think overall Bernie won the debate, but Hilary won her goal of trying to convince her base that all the news about the FBI is simply tricks by the Republicans to diminish voters from heading to the polls to support her, because she is more electable than Bernie.

 

I felt Anderson Cooper did a good job in the debate, I always respected him as a interviewer.  He tries hard to not appear bias, and treat each candidate the same.
