Just turned it on...I like Bernie but he sounds like a broken record. He isn't wrong, but he "answers" every question with the same spiel.

That's sorta the problem with his current run. It shows consistency, but if someone rejected the message before, they are likely not to be convinced a second time. That said, IMO, Bernie's vision of the future is the best the US has had in Generations. He may not become President, but he will leave behind an active group of people who share in his vision. So, there's hope either way.

Some good back and forth between the candidates with everyone making good points and counterpoints. These aren’t issues Americans care about but they are democrat party issues that should be addressed.

Indeed but it is an issue that’s frequently brought up on this very forum.
Yeah and it was always bullshit. Obama had a lot of corporate donors but didn't let it corrupt him. We've been over it many times. All the people that sent in money in 2008 sent the money to Romney in 2012 because they didn't get anything from Obama. It's sad that Democrats have to take money from rich people to compete but they all want to repeal CU and/or go straight public funding. This is a stupid fight.

I’d like to see the candidates reframe the illegal immigration question and instead being for or against a path way to citizenship they should simply say what the alternatives are. What happens when we keep these people in the dark vs what happens when we bring them into the light.

FREE STUFF FREE STUFF.


"Sir, how will we pay for it?"

"THE RICH WILL PAY FOR IT! "

"But Sir, according to our thorough calculations, even if you taxed the rich at 100% you still wouldn't have enough"

".... So... We will tax the rich MORE!"

Christ, we eliminated down to 7. How in the living fuck is Klobuchar here? There are at least 5 others that were far more interesting - I wasn't even aware she was winning any polls or getting jack shit for donations?

Christ - this is a fucking joke. Debates are such a crock of shit.

"Who would you forgive or give a gift to on this panel"....

Wow. Just wow. Can we increase the minimum IQ level for panelists to ask questions?

Your argument doesn't work. It's as retarded as your only 1% claim deductions argument!

This debate reminded me of the things I like most about Warren.

It also reminded me of the things I dislike most about Warren as well.
