Don Prush: A ho-hum debate

The Democratic debate turned out to be blase and boring. There was no enthusiasm among the candidates other than Bernie Sanders’ outburst about Hillary Clinton’s emails, which allowed him to outshine her. The whole hour and a half looked like a lovefest.

The other three candidates wasted their time. I waited for their strategies for improving the economy, improving the United States’ image abroad and the nation’s debt picture, but all I heard was the rich were getting richer (certainly the Clintons), the GOP ruined the economy and women are being mistreated.

I actually believe the candidates submitted their own questions.
