I tried to watch the Democratic Debate with thoughts in my head of “common ground” but when the questions were meant to indoctrinate the viewers I decided that I could find more common ground on my pillow. At one point the question could be categorized as a speech on Global Warming rather then any real question. The truth is there were some points that made sense to me, especially when Bernie Sanders spoke about how big the banks are and that they should be broken up but they were too few to mention. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sander and Martin oh something …(why was he on the stage at 2 % in the polls) also gave some good examples of how on occasion they worked across the aisle. Yet the final straw came when Andre Mitchell mentioned in a question how U.S hostages were realized from Iran but somehow forgot to mention the 7 convicted Iranian’s released from American jail as an obvious bargain chip. When reporters decide it’s best to tell the news rather then report it, it’s time for me to switch the channel or get some sleep, the later worked this time.
