Sure wish they would ask the question about how the candidates plan on managing an economy where 40% of the tasks that American's are paid to do everyday can be automated right now with existing technologies.

Are you expecting them to offer a solution other than tax the wealthy?

I don't know the solution, but it is a serious looming problem that few people are talking about, particularly in the election arena.

If Bernie dropped the min wage argument for Basic Income, he'd actually be my ideal candidate

Bernie wishes he lives in the Netherlands, but even Finland has not figured out how Universal Basic Income will work yet.http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/10/finland-universal-basic-income-ubi-social-security

 

[Smack Tripper]

Good for Hillary to mention Flint.

Absolutely. Her best moment

I disagree. Seemed out of place and low hanging fruit. Is Bernie or Martin pro-lead poisoning or something?

Thats politics and it connect and I'm as far from a Hillary supporter as there can be. Republican governor... Would suburban kids be subject to this... Good stuff.

Bernie was more substantive afterwards with the campaign finance stuff but it didn't resonate.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Cnn is all in on Hillary won due to the gun stuff

Gun stuff affects some

The Wall Street stuff effects us all

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Hillary equating Putin as a "bully" is naive. He isn't a schoolyard tough taking your lunch money.

 

[Higgs]

Still trying to figure out who's the bigger enemy, Goldman Sachs or ISIS.

Senator Sanders earlier in this debate you claimed your candidacy was all about shooting for the big ideas. Yet on the subject of creating an income floor for Americans you advocate for a minimum wage increase. Why aren't you thinking big, as in B.I.G.?

Best exchange Bernie saying to Mitchell that she should ask the Governor of VT about health care in that state and not him cause he is a US Senator. Or something along those lines. I was, and am drunk y

Portraying Bernie as being in favor of reducing health care, not expanding it.

Part of her role for the evening in which she carried Hillary's water while pretending to be a journalist.

Sanders: I want a pony.

Clinton: Ponies are pretty expensive.

O'Malley: I am the only person on this stage who has ever ridden a pony.

[SaintsInDome2006]

MILLER: Senator Sanders, let me ask you a question. You called Bill Clinton's past transgressions, quote, "totally, totally, totally disgraceful and unacceptable." Senator, do you regret saying that?

SANDERS: I was asked a question. .... Yes, his behavior was deplorable. Have I ever once said a word about that issue? No....

Except that it was the exact same response from an earlier debate.

 

[The Commish]

And here is the problem with the Democrats- you could tax the 1% ALL of their net worth and it still wouldn't be enough to pay for all of this stuff.

Bernie is more guilty than Hillary but they're both complicit in this nonsense.

This is just a guess on my part, but I think Bernie know this and I'm comfortable saying that's why it is just one of several taxes he is proposing along with the closing of some tax loopholes to make up the rest.

 

[The Commish]

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the beginning of the debate. I rolled in about the time they were wrapping up the healthcare debate. It was great to see Berine debunk the crap Hillary's been saying about him taking people's healthcare away. It was even better when he and O'Malley took her to task for being in bed with big business. Bernie was way more aggressive than I thought he'd ever be and I think I'd like to hear more out of O'Malley but that doesn't appear to be allowed. He was really good at the town hall forum here in Rock Hill.

I think it's clear why these other debates have been buried thus far.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

The look on Bernie's face when Hillary said 'no bank is too big to fail and no person is too big to jail' was priceless. Eye roll of all eye rolls with a mix of daggers.

Loved the split screen approach...just wish they'd have had all three on the splits.

It is startling to think that anybody at #DemDebate would make a better POTUS than any in GOP (This includes cameramen and voiceover guy)

I can't believe that the GOP has lost Olbermann....

Ceaseless talk of Jeb Bush proves him to be leading candidate for jester in the court of American plutocracy.

Anyhow another substantive debate last night talking about real issues. No name calling.

Eh, a Bobcat and some WD40 oughta get him in there.

 

[cubd8]

Btw Tim, this exchange is why I don't want Hillary to win. Politics as usual, she's good at twisting words.

But isn't she right? I don't want the next President's main agenda to be revisiting the health care debate. I don't want to start over.

That's the whole point. He isn't at all talking about starting over. That is the lie.

In the first question of the debate, Bernie was asked the three things he would do first in office. The very first thing he mentioned was universal health care. There is no way to achieve that without having the whole debate over again.

And frankly there's no way, for the foreseeable future, to achieve it anyhow. Bernie is chasing windmills. Again, Hillary was correct to point out that when the Democrats had the President and control of both houses, they still couldn't get universal health care done and had to settle for Obamacare. Once again Hillary proves herself the pragmatist, the one who knows how to get real things done. Sorry but Bernie's got his head in the clouds.

This has to be an act. You don't truly believe this, do you?

On issues, I agree most with Bernie, but he looked and sounded the least presidential of the three last night. That shouldn't matter, but it does. #Wmadeitworksomehow
