NCC Councilman Joseph Reda passed away yesterday at the age of 73. A ‘sheet metal worker, union man, bartender, husband and politician’, Reda earned the affection and admiration of all of his colleagues, regardless of political differences. I encourage you to read the obituary. He did a lot of good for a lot of people. People really liked him. Folks like that deserve to be remembered.

This to me summarizes the entire debate, all the debates, and the entire Democratic primary campaign so far. Personally, I didn't enjoy last night's debate at all, and it had nothing to do with the candidates. It was the crowd. Whether it was Hillary partisans, New York partisans or Bernie partisans, the screaming, cheering, shouting, chanting, all of which was sustained for too long, forced the candidates, on each side, into awkward waiting periods until the crowd decided to quiet down and listen, or it forced the candidates into screaming at each other, over each other, and through the crowd noise.
