You had to feel for NBC having to broadcast this debate between the three Democrat candidates for President during primetime on a Sunday night (Just kidding.). Not that anyone watched anything but the final season of Downton Abbey. Moderators were NBC Nightly News Anchor Lester Holt and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell.

The three candidates are former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and, that other guy…What’s his name. Oh yeah, Martin O’Malley, former governor of Maryland. The blooming candidate signs indicated that no one knew O’Malley was there.

Along with age and whiteness, the Democrat candidates have something else in common…each one of them is being investigated! Of course you know that Hillary is under investigation by the FBI for her “private server” and should be under investigation for the missing six billion dollars under her watch at the State Department. Bernie Sanders and wife are under investigation for redirecting campaign cash to family and friends. Hmmmmm, can you say slush fund, sure you can. Martin O’Malley is under investigation for getting a really sweet deal on furniture from the Governor’s Mansion. Does that sound familiar, Hillary?

Since the Congressional Black Caucus is sponsoring this debate and tomorrow is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, all the candidates paid homage to Dr. King. Hillary actually said she was taken to see Dr. King in Chicago at age 14. It’s possible and she has told the story before. Apparently, all three were inspired by Dr. King. So, the Debate could be called “Six Degrees of MLK”.

After a 2nd Amendment panderfest, the Dems took up Healthcare through a question by Andrea Mitchell. Blah, blah, blah. Affordable health care for all. Blah, blah, blah. Healthcare as a right. When they make beach houses a right, I’ll vote Democrat.

Twenty nine million people don’t have healthcare….I think they meant healthcare insurance.

Unintentional comedy moment when Senator Sanders said:

Congress is owned by big money and refuses to do what the American people want them to do.

Look to your right, Bernie.

Hillary Clinton said that no one should be too big to jail. This from a woman under Federal investigation. And, she has said it before. Business Insider quoted from a New York Times editorial in which Hillary said the too big to jail line.

Hillary Clinton: Free college, Republican attack on women’s rights, gay rights….blah, blah, blah.

Bernie kicked Hillary Clinton’s fanny on speaking fees. Then, he said that the banks are bigger now than when we bailed them out because they were too big to fail. And, hey Bernie, Hillary Clinton’s son in law is a hedge fund manager!!

Is it just me or is Governor O’Malley the Democrat version of Senator Rick Santorum?

Then, came climate change. Animated. Because, Obama isn’t killing fossil fuels fast enough. The debate on climate change is over, according to Senator Sanders. Martin O’Malley said something but…

Next came the Foreign Policy section of tonight’s fun. Apparently, in Democrat World there are only two choices, total capitulation or war, because no Democrat President has ever taken us to war. Bernie Sanders pronounces Muslim as Mooselimb. lol

Thanks to Stephen Hayes, I know it isn’t just me.

Ruh roh, Shaggy, Lester Holt brought up that doggone Reset button. Once again, for Democrats there are only two choices total capitulation or war.

Lester Holt provided all kinds of laughs asking Hillary Clinton about her relationship with Vladimir Putin and then, brought up electronic data collection and front doors and back doors.

The final segment Lester Holt allowed each candidate to say whatever he or she wanted to say. And, O’Malley care about immigrants, Hillary was outraged about water in Flint, Michigan, and Bernie Sanders wants campaign finance reform. Lester Holt did an admirable job of dealing with these three candidates.

Mercifully, it finally ended. I need a Dewar’s on the rocks. And, eye bleach.
