8:38 PM: “We will rise to the challenge of ISIL. And we will rise together to the challenges that we face in our economy. But we will only do so if we hold true to the values and the freedoms that unite us. Which means we must never surrender them to terrorists, must never surrender our American values to racists, must never surrender them to the fascist pleas of billionaires with big mouths.

8:44 PM: Okay, I’m not sure that exchange between Sanders and Clinton amounted to bickering. It’s like O’Malley has data breach envy. Does he even have any data?

8:55 PM: “Let’s calm down there, Martin.”
8:59 PM: “Use bluster and bigotry to inflame people.”
