Democratic Debate Discussion Thread

I guess Joe won't get in on time.

Ah!

I just finished composing a thread starter post, and decided to check if anyone beat me in while I was composing, and you did!

It's all good, even if mine was nicer: :2razz:

Anyway, I mainly want to see how Secy Clinton handles herself on stage. I don't believe she is a very good candidate intrinsically, but she has had some good moments - we'll see.

Also, I want to see how Sen Sanders deals with his 'socialist' moniker, and hope it comes up. I think if he were to get the nomination he would get hammered on this, losing some votes he otherwise might not if he was evaluated purely on policy & platform.

Feel free to start another thread or expand on my simple OP. Whatever it takes to get the discussion ball rolling is fine with me. I know this sub forum can be a bit hidden at times.
 
I'm so pumped!

Get 'em Bernie!

I'd like to see Bernie pull out a katana sword and go after Martin O’Malley.

Then use the first amendment free speech clause to get away with the murder.

Are katanas covered by the 2nd amendment?

Meh... After he cuts O'Malley he says it was a part of his demonstration to explain the three fifths compromise of 1787.
 
i'll be watching the first part of it.

There is nothing I've heard from O'Malley that leads me to believe he'll do anything tonight.
 
Most U.S. voters not aware of Democratic debate: Reuters/Ipsos poll

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Despite CNN's countdown clock and special live coverage, more than half of U.S. registered voters are not aware of the first debate between the candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination, which the news network will broadcast on Tuesday evening.

I will be watching.
 
I'm also interested in Sen Webb.

Seriously, there a lot I like about him as a person, besides just a politician.

He also would crossover to Indies & Moderate GOP better than most, I think, especially better than Bernie.

Yeah, I'll be focused mostly on Frumpy's tweets. "OMG! Who's this ugly, old broad?! LOL!"

I see omalley getting a small bump and Webb probably getting a bigger bump and chaffee fading into oblivion.

I completely disagree with that assessment.

Let's face it: with the possible exception of Sen Sanders, there isn't much excitement, and no 'Trump effect' either.

No non-politicos, too.

Yeah, no calls for mass deportation of children, forcing rape victims to carry a pregnancy to term, or more big tax cuts for wealthy households.

Thank you.

But I see little at this juncture that could catapult him past Hillary or Bernie.

Anything can happen, but we're only 3-1/2 mos from Iowa.

And then there's the little matter of money ...

It will mostly be safe topics, like continuing discredited lefty policies.

They sure aren't going to hit each other over things like character. Character is more of a conservative thing.
