  • '16 Democratic Nomination Thread

    Over/under on how many times CNN tries to get Bernie and Hillary into a flame war like they did with pretty much every Rep candidate? I would set the number at 0.5.

    Is anyone going to watch this?

    Im playing darts tonight - and while I will not vote for a candidate from either major party I am somewhat interested in it.
    It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

        From an interview on ABC News:

        KARL: Hey, we are out of time. I want a yes or no answer to one quick question. Hillary Clinton’s poll suggest a lot of people don’t see her as honest and trustworthy. Do you think Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy?

        SANDERS: I have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton. She is somebody I’ve known for 25 years. I’m not going to be engaging in personal attacks against her.

        KARL: So you won’t say whether or not she’s honest.

        SANDERS: I’m not going to be engaging in personal attacks against her. She and I disagree on many issues. The American people want a serious debate about serious issues, not personal attacks.

        KARL: All right, Senator Sanders, thank you very much for joining us.



        Let's see a serious debate about serious issues now that the GOP clown train has left the station. Show 'em how adults do it.
        I like how he handled that - let the voters decide if she is honest and trustworthy. His opinion really isn't relevant.

          great post elD.

          I'm hoping to see someone call out Sanders on how he is anti-corporate and what his response may be (Im sure he has already done so, but havent done 100% of my research yet).

            Looking for O'Malley to audition for Hillary's VP spot tonight & just make a run at Sanders. No other reason for him to be there as far out of it as he is

              That would be interesting. If people were paying attention and well informed I think being anti-corporate should be a positive.

                I think tonight he'll state his idea to institute a nationwide Snow Tax. I'm excited about the possibilities!
                Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                  I could get 100% behind a snow tax.

                    It's a pity Mrs. Clinton is unlikely to return the favor.

                    The clown car is right in front of you. No one excluded the queen of coiffed hair face paint. It would be unDemocratic, though Bernie Sanders was a bit slow getting aboard.

                    On the subject of debate, I would love to see Sanders vs Cruz. Two really polite guys, who still know how to barb a question.

                        It's stunning to me that the Vice chair of the DNC, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has been dis-invited to the debate tonight for having the audacity to suggest the Dems ought to have more than 6 debates. I guess this how the 'adults' do it, huh?

                          I'm thinking by Adults, he meant the candidates. You'll find asshats within both parties.

                          You do have to admit, the main democratic candidates have been civil with each other to date, that might change tonight, but even if it does, you won't see the level of immaturity and flat out idiocy that we have from most of the GOPs panel.

                            Yes, I will admit that, though they haven't appeared together yet.
                            You'd have to admit the DNC is slowly trying to run the clock out so Clinton can win this thing.The less people see/hear from the others, the better for her. No reason not to have more debates and it's beyond ridiculous that a vice-chair would get barred from attending for saying so.
