I don't really care who "won"

I don't really care who "won" the debate. I support Hillary and all I care is that she did a good job in the debate. She exceeded my expectations. I also want Sanders to do well so he's a credible challenger to Hillary. I want the debate to be about liberal principles and policy and Sanders will drive the debate in that direction. Sanders also did a good job. So I'm very happy so far and it doesn't matter to me who won that debate.

I'm just pushing back at the bad information that implies online polls open to all without demographic balance and focus groups have any statistical relevance.

We should start seeing good

We should start seeing good polling outfits early next week with their results. Also some smaller outfits in Iowa and N. Hampshire. I am really curious about this debate.

I am with you about flash polls. They don't mean much.

Thanks,

I haven't seen any polls yet and focus groups are worthless garbage. Any question you ask 20 people is meaningless and cannot be extrapolated to the larger population as the sample size is too small. And in a focus group each person hears the previous people answer the question which likely skews the answer.

I( went to a debate party of over 100 people at a local brewery. We had a potluck there and it was a great night. I brought my laptop and tweeted the debate for Bernie. I started tweeting just for Bernie:) This after debate interview is a gem, I think.

Thanks for posting this. I haven't been on face book since last night. I usually read Politicususa there.

I personally thought he was a winner because of his defense of Hillary and because of the way he took on her approach to Wall St. Both times he made great one liners that will be remembered. I am also very enthusiastic about him being in the race. I figured I was a little biased so it didn't matter what I thought.

The Latinos for Bernie had a debate party at a local artisan brewery. Local news showed the place was packed and now I wished I would have went. It would of made a good blog. My son and I talked about it but he had a long day and was tired.

Clinton's make up artist was really good. The first thing I noticed was her bags under her eyes were concealed. I wonder if that person was from Las Vegas. My 67 year old dark circles under mine could use a little of that magic.

Thanks. I enjoy this kind of

Thanks. I enjoy this kind of thing. Bernie supporters have been very creative with videos.

Every poll and focus group showed that Bernie Sanders won the debate last night.

Corporate media claims that Hillary won.

This Election is The People Vs Rule by Corporations & Billionaires so in that context what is happening makes more sense.

The People value substance, the establishment values 'politicking'.

And Time Warner among other corporations are Hillary contributors which would be lost on most of the audience.

I believe the 'establishment' has not fully realized that much of America is done with the status quo. They believe they can roll along, business as usual.

I skipped the debates but have been heartened to see that the morning after reaction, beyond who won, is that the event actually promoted the Democratic brand. The party came out looking better. A potential question in the general will be whether voters believe that the system can be reformed by high-minded professionals or whether a wrecking ball is called for. In general, people don't pick the latter.
