So far, a bucket of, um, animal-based fertilizer. Almost unwatchable, except Bernie gets applause lines.

MadCow said before the debate that Burney can’t win (the primary) so the kiddies are rioting that she’s allowed to moderate.

The moderators Todd and Madcow are too busy deciding who they love more, Hillary or Bernie.

Democrat Debate

[Sarah Barracuda]

Bernie goes on and on about how he hates the rich, would be interesting to find out how much this guy is worth

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It’s an interesting and well managed debate. Much like Lenin vs. Stalin.

I watched a brief snippet. As Cruz has mentioned, Sanders identifies many of the systemic problems and there is much to agree with on that (e.g., why is it that there have been no criminal charges filed against anyone involved with massive fraud on Wall St.?)

Having the candidates go back and forth on an extended basis rather than fighting the moderators or dodging "gotcha" questions is also refreshing. This could almost pass for an actual debate if there was any real disagreement between the two.

I tuned it for a bit...
For those of you without the stomach to watch allow me to summarize:
I hate Wall St.
No, I really hate Wall St.
No, I hated then first and more.
Oh yeah, well I hate every profitable capitalistic company (except the ones that paid me to speak - and I will look into releasing my speech transcripts assuming they weren’t accidentally deleted - oops)

And then:
I hate war, but I support special forces and trainers.
Well I hate war more, and you voted for it.
Well, the President has a winning strategy and I support it.
Oh yeah, well the King or Jordan is right and you are both wrong, but let me slip in that I’m totally on board with air strikes just not boots on the ground.

Next I imagine they will discuss who hates guns more, but I’d just be guessing.

** Watching two of the oldest whitest people I’ve ever seen debate in a doddering utopian fashion which utterly belies both of the having direct involvement in American politics and policy for the last few decades is utterly mind numbing. I’m now dumber for having heard it.

I hope this saved some of you the pain.

Hillary has mastered the art of filling air time with no content whatsoever.

[BlueNgold]

Ooh asking about Iowa.

Bernie: I agree with the Des Moines register. But it’s being blown out of proportion. It’s a difference of 2 delegates.
Actually was a good answer.

Hillary: I will do whatever the party decides (wink and nod to Deb W).

the corrupt fascist establishment runs this country and most of the world and there is only one way to rid freedom loving people of it - them and its not through the establishment orchestrated elections.

[posterchild]

Hillary seems a fair bit more organized than Bernie.
