Support NeoGAF

Shame on him for what exactly?

Someone on Bernie's team viewed and copied her data. It was logged and the vendor reported it to the DNC, and after that the guy was rightfully fired by the Sanders campaign, he also willingly admitted he did it on national TV. He tried to give some virtuous reasons that don't seem to me to be supported by what the data logs show, but whatever.

And after that the Bernie campaign has been trying to play it off like they were the victims, and fundraise off it.

That's ^ shameful IMO.

Either Bernie permitted that spin behavior his campaign did in the aftermath, or if he didn't he's an incompetent who cant control his own staff.

Did you not hear what her campaign said about him? Check the other thread. Mind you, I'd be fine if she kept herself above it.

After her data was compromised, and the way the Bernie campaign has been trying to play it off, her campaign staff IMO has a right to be a just little pissed off about that.

As for Hillary herself, I'm assuming she'll take the high road and wont say anything negative about the Sanders campaign.

She just needs to play nice enough to appear gracious, but leave an escape hatch if "new facts come to light".

Yep. She doesn't need to do anything beyond that.

 

[Blader]

The scheduling of this debate and the last one is so pathetic and transparent.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Hillary is killing Bernie at the visibility before the debate. At the Democratic dinner a couple weeks ago she only had a slight advantage.

I regret not bringing gloves.

 

[Skiptastic]

The picture for Martin O'Malley could have been literally any person because I have no idea what the dude looks like.

 

[Clefargle]

Are you guys kidding? The DNC is doing all the lifting, she'll keep her hands clean and make some "magnanimous gesture" out of vouching for Sanders' character in all the time she's know him. It'll be sprinkled with just enough ambiguity to leave some subtle doubt, but nothing overt. Like, probably just a few bad apples, never known Bernie to personally be dishonest, then some neutral let the process play out rhetoric, etc. etc.

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see the likely political kabuki in this whole thing. Why would the front runner sully themselves with finger pointing given the numbers? Better to play nice, increase the odds of soaking up doubtful Bernie supporters when it's time for them to come around and be good team players. She just needs to play nice enough to appear gracious, but leave an escape hatch if "new facts come to light".

Exactly like the second option I outlined. My post was only two lines long, was it that hard to read it?

who is definitely not watching football tonight? me.

booo cowboys

 

[A Human Becoming]

The Bernie team just drove up with four school buses of supporters. It's probably even now.

After watching the Republican debates, I feel like I'm just gonna be bored and sober. What are the rules for the Dem drinking game? Do I drink every time they make a feel-good statement about how the Dem candidates are civil compared to what we witness at each of the Republican debates?

Someone hook me up with the rules.

-Hillary mentions she's a woman
-Bernie shoehorns in income inequality to an unrelated prompt
-Martin O'Malley speaks

This. My fridge is fully stocked. It's gonna be rough for me tomorrow morning I hope adam387 is playing tonight as well.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Quite a few people showed up considering it's 32F without counting the wind chill.

Time for me to get in line. No cell phones allowed so I'll talk to ya'll tomorrow!

It's not as fun with it being the weekend and all. I feel like I'm getting away with something getting drunk during the week.

Have fun, this should be an interesting one.

 

[rjinaz]

Oh GAF is back? Good. Ready for this!

 

[Hazmat]

"SHAME ON YOU, BERNIE SANDERS"

Do it, Hilly.

Haha, I was thinking about this the other day. I think she's learned that she isn't running for Sunday School Teacher in Chief this time around.

 

[Strike]

Didn't even know this was happening.

 

[DominoKid]

Jesus the DNC really are trying to sweep these debates under the rug huh?

They should. Its a big waste of time when we all know what the outcome will be.

I actually stay sober for these. I need the booze to get through the post-debate spin. You know, when (some) will claim (regardless of what happens) that he destroyed $hillary.

Aww, screw it, drink up brahs.


Also, David Muir and Martin O'Malley on stage at once....

 

[Africanus]

GAF invaluable once again. I forgot all about this one!

 

[Slayven]

I just realized this is on a network, not the ass end of cable

 

[CDX]

I just realized this is on a network, not the ass end of cable

That seems to be the one plus to this Democratic debate schedule.

Compared to the Republican debates where most of them seem to be locked behind a cable paywall, the majority of Democratic ones are scheduled to be on regular broadcast network tv.

omg the gif is so strange.

 

[DietRob]

What the fuck is wrong with the DNC?

Both of the debates so far have been on at such an awkward time.

Seriously?

 

[Velcro Fly]

Will Hillary rip on Bernie because his campaign accessed her data

Or won't she

I don't think she will. I thing the Democratic side of things is more of a lady/gentlemen sort of thing where they aren't going to tear each other down.

 

[User 463088]

This is the 3rd debate.

And I got my PB Vodka out just to be safe. Cause I'll need to spice this up a little bit. Every time Bernie says "millionaire" or "billionaire" I'm taking two shots. I'll only stop drinking if he diverts from his stump speech. I should be plastered in a few minutes....

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Seriously?

They're just scheduling them in a way that gives Sanders the ability to whine about it. The more he seems like he's going up against "the man," the more support he gets. Honestly, any other candidate would've been dead in the water by now.

I think she's going to spend as little time as possible on the topic. There is really no payoff for her pushing it, she has a bigger chance of saying something wrong if she tries to push the issue.

 

[Chariot]

Hillary would look like a dick if she would try using DNC to attack Bernie. That will come up anyhow. She should keep passive on the issue and wait for the media and her supportrs do the dirty work.

Hahaha... WOW. Even further illustrating my point of something being really wrong with the DNC. I'm not exactly living under a rock here in regards to politics and I didn't realize there have been 3 debates until you pointed it out.

DNC could and probably should be loudly getting out the message that their politicians aren't bat shit crazy given what's happened with the GOP.

 

[Slayven]

These are the only things Hillary needs to beat Bernie

 

[User 463088]

I've decided to change my avatar to support the candidate that I really want

Spoiler

to marry me

It's freeing to finally be out of the closet as a proud O'Malley fan girl.

the next debate will be during the NFL playoffs lol

I'm tired of hearing about the damn server..

*raucous applause*

Opposite the super bowl or bust.

 

[rtcn63]

So she should set the PS2's internal clock forward a week?

 

[Slayven]

Lets be honest the most exciting thing that might happen tonight is O'mally getting called out on Baltimore. They not going to be pushing war, or talking about killing innocent people like the otherside.

 

[Tesseract]

So she should set the PS2's internal clock forward a week?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Lets do this, show the republicans how its done. Less fear mongering, and less declaring war.

And go after Trump, for all that is holy. Get this man out.

 

[Foffy]

But they're ruled by a corrupt, shady person, exactly like the GOP.

 

[Indicate]

Reporting while doing a selfie is a first for me.

 

[Dictator93]

So wait you're either going to vote for a left wing socialist or some insane right wing demagogue?

Equating the left side of the spectrum with the right as if they are some sort of normatively equal mirror of one another is pretty darn problematic.

 

[Chariot]

I'm tired of hearing about the damn server..

*raucous applause*

Something like that would be her best option. Media won't stop talking about it and she would show that she is paying respect back. But let's see what her campaign says. Her going ape on the issue would be pretty funny to watch and getting backfire would be amusing.

But then again, it's probably best if the amusing parts stay at the GOP.

 

[User 463088]

So, what is going to be the best part of this debate?

Martin's amazing smile? His adorable laugh? His breathtaking abs? His bedroom eyes? I really can't decide.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Adam... What the hell is this?

Me after three cocktails, two beers and someone with an attractive smile walks by me.

Muir is my husband. He doesn't know it....

 

[RPGCrazied]

3 hours it looks like? Republicans are big whiners crying for 2 hours, yet they have like 13 candidates. lol

 

[BlackGhost]

Adam?....... Adam!

 

[dabig2]

They need to go after everybody hard. Show the nation that Trump isn't extreme, the entire GOP platform is extreme. Hillary had the right idea when she tied Trump's batshit rhetoric with all the other idiots running.

Are these GAF's official drinking game rules?
