Democratic Debate (1 Viewer)

I think Bernie's discretion is part of his popularity. There are plenty of people within the Democratic Party, like me, who don't love Hillary Clinton, but who also don't think she's the devil. People who think that the decision to work from a private email server was weird, but not illegal. People who think that she's too beholden to special interest money, but in a way that just about every other mainstream politician is. People who think she's been a competent, if not an exceptional, public servant. Bernie appeals to me when he talks about his ideas and his policy prescriptions. Not when he talks about Clinton in the same way that some deranged wingnut would.

Has this happened? He seems to be very cognizant of his words with respect to Hillary. I missed the "debate" last night, but to this point all he's done is point out her ties to Wall Street and contrasted that to himself. DId he lose his marbles and go "deranged wingnut" last night?

I took this to mean "He wouldn't be as appealing to me if he did that", not that he has necessarily done it.

When does he do that? I don't follow it as closely as most here but he seems to bend over backwards to not attack her when I'm listening- many think to the detriment of his own chances to win.

My point was meant to be that he doesn't (I agree that I should have edited my last sentence). Some of his supporters here do, but that's their prerogative. I get that among some of Bernie's supporters Hillary is the devil. But I think that if Bernie had come out of the gate with a message like that, the mainstream Democratic reaction would have been, "this guy is damaging the party."

Instead, I think a lot of the party has been willing to admit that Bernie's Scandinavian style of "socialism" should be represented within the party. That's a good thing.

Michael Smerconish- Bernie won't play in the national election.

Sorry Bernie fans: he's right.

Since I've been old enough to vote, here's how I've voted in the Presidential elections...

1992 - GHWB ®

1996 - Clinton (D) - I dunno, maybe because I was in college?

2000 - GWB ®

2004 - GWB ®

2008 - McCain ®

2012 - Romney ®

I was raised very conservative and the word socialism was a dirty word. I live a comfortable middle class life and own a small business. I'll be voting for Bernie Sanders if he's on the ballot come November. If Bernie can get my vote, he can get just about anyone's.

 
Is this the thread where Tim endlessly repeats his opinion about Bernies unelectability? Or are there numerous threads where that is occurring?

 
Since I was only home in time to watch Hillary's portion last night, I watched Bernie's segment on youtube today. VERY good performance. Knocked many of those questions out of the park, including his idea of democratic socialism and how he plans to pay for his proposals - two of the biggest questions for undecided voters, IMO. I was already a huge Bernie fan before watching, but came away liking him even more.

And yes, Cuomo's treatment of Bernie vs. his treatment of Hillary was laughably different. Pointing out and asking multiple follow-ups about Bernie's ONE main flip-flop (on gun manufacturer liability, not exactly a hot-button issue in 2016), but not pointing out ANY of Hillary's, even after she made claims like "I've been fighting for homosexual equality for 40 years?" Come on. :lmao:

Hopefully they'll ask her about why she postponed her fundraisers with investment management firm BlackRock and Mitt Romney favorite Bain Capital until after the primary.

Or maybe they won't since "everybody does it". That is, everybody but Bernie Sanders.

Or maybe they'll ask her about Tim's favorite Wall of Mexico?

I'd like to know what Cheryl freakin' Mills does at BlackRock to begin with.

 
Wait..what? We've been told that the economy has been fantastic under Barack Obama. what happened?

Hillary just crushed that question about being the first democratic nominee heading into Iowa with the specter of a federal indictment hanging over her head! /Tim

There's no specter of anything, she just spends a third of all her debate and interview time talking about FBI investigations, secreting away public documents, Wall Street connections and dishonesty.

Still standing!

With the help of a walker, yes.

 
Glad they asked Bernie why he hasn't passed anything in the hundred years he has been in office. Hillary is out for blood tonight

 
She's trying to make it look like Sanders would repeal obamacare and then try to create medicare for all. Sanders needs to do a better job explaining that's not true.

 
Hillary swerving far left to win when she claim she was a moderate just months ago.
