The Democratic presidential debate

Wow, this is exciting.  People are arguing, yelling, challenging each other's voting records and generally trying to prove that they are different from each other. Over an hour into the debate before Trump's name was finally mentioned. Things I'm hearing that I don't like: from Bernie Sanders - yes he would need to raise taxes "just a little" on the middle class but that would be off set by their "free" health insurance. O'Malley wants to bring back capital gains tax (for the rich of course, but where's the cut off?). Of course, with the way the stock market has been going recently it could be a moot point. From Hillary "We are in the midst of great turmoil in the middle east."  I think she's right, I just don't like hearing it. I did like the fact that she pointed to several leaders in that area who are the real culprits. Decisions, decisions... If I had to vote today and I had to vote for a Democrat I'd probably have to vote for Hillary.
