I love how the speech wasn't just a big pep rally but there was a soft, quiet, emotional side. People claim they don't see that side of her enough so it's good to show that off.

Interesting.

not CNN basically writting Bernie off by saying Hillary won't bother too much about him in the future  at least wait until tuesday, and if she crushes it, it'd still be too early.

The part about Flint and how there are many Flints out there in America unnoticed was great. The right inspirational tone that there are many great Americans out there doing their best to support these communities, but it is our job to support them and do our job in our communities
Nevada has helped her find the right tone.

Black Lives Matter tried derailing her. Too little too late

Kasich has run an incredible campaign by painting himself as a moderate when his record shows that he's just as bad as the rest in terms of his decisions.
If ya'll wanted a moderate GOP candidate, Christie was probably the only decent one.

Some of the best and most genuine Hillary has looked and sounded. That makes me very excited for the potential future Presidency.

According to his history, no. But if he really is as moderate as he says he is (who knows?), then it's a possibility.

Overall, I would say
1. Hillary
2. Kasich
3. Bernie
4. Rubio
5. Trump
6. Carson
7. Cruz

I agree with your rankings.

Hopefully democrats end this after March 15 and Hillary makes Bernie her VP and they start destroying republicans together for November.
Hillary clung to Bernie tonight saying they weren't much different and I feel like it could be to set up a VP spot for him. He's more important to her campaign than people realize.

If it had come down to Bernie and Kasich (super unlikely), then Kasich might have brought out a more conservative side of himself to combat Bernie, and I would have discontinued my vote for him.
But my ranking was based on how they have presented themselves.

I wonder if protesters forget or are willfully ignoring the fact that Black people were highly supportive of the 1994 Crime Bill? I don't think most people realized the negative outcome the bill would have, but I think crime was at an all time high at the time and people wanted action.
