Congratulations to The Associated Press for noticing that the discussion of college costs in Tuesday’s Democratic debate neglected a significant component: the cost of the proposed solutions.

“The American people are sick and exhausted of hearing about your damn emails”, Bernie Sanders said in Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate. And, according to the poll, 54% of the survey’s respondents thought Clinton “won” the debate.

He wasn’t flawless. Clinton successfully ambushed Sanders early in the debate, and he lapsed into the language of a Beltway insider as he tried to defend his mixed record on guns. Posing them would have hijacked the debate, driving it into a homebrew rabbit hole; better to leave the prolonged e-mail cross-examinations to Cooper’s peers who sit for extended interviews with the candidate.

The first Democratic contest saw a confident and substantive performance from the former secretary of state, who said she would not be seeking voters’ approval based on her last name. Clinton used the discussion to align herself with the president, who remains extremely popular among Democratic voters.

The New York Times concluded that the debate turned Clinton’s way despite issues that have plagued her campaign.

The next Republican debate will be held on October 28, and Democrats will debate on November 14. But her repeated comments about being a high-ranking member of President Obama’s brain trust were seen as a shot across the bow to Biden as he continues to deliberate over making a presidential bid.

Joining me on today’s show are two of our favorite guests, both long time journalists/bloggers and both of whom have been pretty much right about pretty much everything for the past decade and more.

Although Americans might like the idea of being a part of a historic election, we recognize that voting for a candidate for any reason other than their experience in politics and stance on policy is, without a doubt, an illogical and unreasonable act.

Frank Massingale, a Republican, said he didn’t watch television at all last night.

“If he was to come back next week and say, ‘hey guys, let’s do this, ‘ we could put together a campaign that can win”, said Steve Schale, “Draft Biden” Advisor.
