Hillary won the first half

Bernie won the second half.

 

[Geist-]

I think Hillary was the most consistent debater up there, she never really had any bad moments. At the same time, Sanders had a couple stumbles, as well as some v ery, very high points. I think the hierarchy is closer to

Clinton=Sanders>O'Malley>Non-relevant candidates

 

[MEsoJD]

One thing is for sure. We can't allow a republican in office. It would be a fucking disaster.

 

[daffy]

I think the Democratic Party in general won.

This. We in here.

 

[params7]

Bernie won.

Bernie did as expected. More people know about him now and he hits the populist message harder than Hilary. I would expect his poll numbers to rise more.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Early on Clinton had all the momentum but the second and third act were the Bernie Show. Very interested to see where polling goes now.

i think biden will fall as a result of not participating. a small portion will go to o'malley, a small portion to sanders, most to clinton. clinton will lose some to sanders, but overall rise on him as biden sinks. chafee and webb and lessig will poll like 0%, webb possibly negative

so something like 48% 30% 18% 4% c/s/b/o'm.

 

[Hellwarden]

Aw crap. I fell asleep and missed the entire thing.

Did Hilary bust out of her human suit, and reveal herself to be the lizard person I've always suspected her to be?

 

[Plasmid]

Kick out Chaffee, have Webb moderate the next debate. I wanna see Sanders Omalley and Clinton in the next debate.

 

[phanphare]

I was kinda shocked Sanders got such a lukewarm reaction after calling out the wealthy.

consider the audience

 

[Modest Mauser]

O'Malley needs to go shirtless next debate

Now that's presidential material

 

[Makai]

please for the love of god, don't include Webb and Chafee in the next debate.

seriously

I'm ok with leaving Chafee. Good weeble wobble.

 

[Envelope]

O'Malley needs to go shirtless next debate

oh my

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Bernie> O'Malley> Old Clinton> Webb Granade> My Dad Died

You do realize Bernie is older than Clinton right? He's also been in politics just as long if not longer. Your ageist attacks are disgusting and nonsensical at the same time.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Dude is almost as boring as Ben Carson.

My friend said that O'Malley reminds him of Will Forte impersonating a robot president.

 

[PantherLotus]

1. I liked Bernie's debate best overall

2. But holy shit Clinton calling out Republicans directly and forcefully is by far the most important thing to note from this debate. Hoooooooly crap have I missed that direct aggression toward calling out bullshit. What a refreshing change from Obama.

 

[gdt]

O'Malley came out strong tonight. Looking for a spot somewhere.




But he was mayor of Baltimore. Carcetti is literally based on him. Can't forget that.

 

[Red]

Dude is almost as boring as Ben Carson.

He had no bad answers, and many good ones.

 

[Poker Face]

I think both Clinton and Sanders did a great job. O'Malley did decent as well.

 

[Fenderputty]

Good debate really. Cooper should always run these.


I thought Bernie and Hillary were a virtual toss up. Clinton most polished. Bernie most passionate. I like Bernie more personally, but think Hillary's polish will serve her better in the national. We'll see how the polls go but I don't expect much change. Maybe a small sanders bump but nothing meaningful.

 

[Trey]

I think the top three were varying levels of decent, depending on the question. Bernie got rightfully dragged on guns, and Hillary flubbed a few questions herself. At least O'Malley got on my map, wasn't expecting to give him another look.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

I think the Democratic Party in general won.

This. Very glad to see that this rated better than the Republican debates.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Sanders did pretty well, Clinton's non answers and hopping on others' momentum was about what I expected.

 

[BitStyle]

Hillary won the first half

Bernie won the second half.

This.
Anderson Cooper was the real VIP, and Webb was the weakest link.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Summary:

Clinton: Most Presidential

Sander: The most correct (except on guns)

O'Malley: Good at times, but his history in Maryland is full of crap

Chafee: Bitchmade. Never had a chance.


And why the fuck was Webb even there? The VJ Republican debates were WAY earlier bruh.

 

[freeofgreed]

Really good debate. Thought it'd be less entertaining than the repubs but it actually wasn't. Clinton didn't do as good as i thought she would but is still obviously the lead. Bernie i thought did well not as bad as others have been saying. And O'malley pleasently surprised me.

 

[Retromelon]

Hillary had the most solid performance. Sanders took more hits but was more stirring. Everyone besides hillary won in the sense that this was major public exposure for their efforts they had not yet experienced.

 

[soul creator]

Jim Webb be like

 

[Off-Kilter]

I feel the bern.

But O'Malley had the best closing comments.

 

[ibyea]

So my ranking: Hillary=Bernie>O'Malley

I think Bernie screwed up too much in the first part to be definite winner. O'Malley had a good performance but didn't stand out until the second half of the debate.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Sanders and Clinton both did very well. O'Malley was consistent throughout the whole night.

Chafee was struggling, and Webb was a disaster.

 

[Syrus]

lol that comment was hilarious

What commwent??

 

[danm999]

Kick out Chaffee, have Webb moderate the next debate. I wanna see Sanders Omalley and Clinton in the next debate.

HOW MANY SOULS OF YOUR ENEMIES HAVE YOU EACH CARRIED TO PITS OF TARTARUS?

 

[ivysaur12]

I think the Democratic Party in general won.

That's really the answer.

 

[thiscoldblack]

All closing statements were terrible. Bernie could've done better. It was not the time to ask for donations, but for support.

Still, honestly, Bernie was better than everyone in that debate.

 

[v1lla21]

Hillary got the 1/3rd of the debate but after that it was just Sanders and O'Malley doing well while Clinton was just waddling around dodging questions. This debate was
1. Sanders
2. Clinton
3. O'Malley

 

[lachesis]

Geez, Cuomo as he gets older, he sounds more and more like his big bro.

 

[Epcott]

...

 

[Wilsongt]

O'Malley needs to go shirtless next debate

Yas Gawd.

 

[pigeon]

seriously, though, please let's not have chafee and webb in the next debate

I have things to do

maybe we can hold a kids table debate with just them

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

I think the Democratic Party in general won.

Yeah, I thought this was a really good showing.

 

[MrHoot]

Personal opinion

Sanders > Clinton > O'malley > Punished Webb > Chaffee > Webb

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Think sanders will see the best bump because it gets him out there more. He was lacking the coverage and he got it finally. More people will know who he is finally. Clinton was winning due to name recognition not her ever changing platform.

 

[CloudyTuba]

HOW MANY SOULS OF YOUR ENEMIES HAVE YOU EACH CARRIED TO PITS OF TARTARUS?

You guys are seriously making me laugh alone in my house.

 

[Trouble]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Yep, every you call out those assholes, I'm on-board.

 

[Machina]

Sanders and Clinton should ticket together. Surely Sanders would be happy with the Vice Presidency. He can do a lot from there to drag Clinton to the left.

 

[ivysaur12]

CNN putting Hillary in center and last to close, yeah... Thanks, CNN.

It's because she's polling the highest. That's how they did it for the Republican debates as well. Not a conspiracy.

 

[Gattsu25]

So my ranking: Hillary=Bernie>O'Malley

I think Bernie screwed up too much in the first part to be definite winner. O'Malley had a good performance but didn't stand out until the second half of the debate.

Agreed.

The other two are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay farther behind.

Webb takes the award for "democratic candidate I want to step on lego blocks" most.

 

[Relentless 757]

Alright Bernie, work on foreign policy, that was embarrassing. Also, reevaluate that gun views of yours.

Otherwise, you are golden!

O'Malley actually did pretty good, I expect an ever-so-slight boost of his poll numbers.

Clinton shows that she clearly is the best debater of them all, excellently dodged questions!


Web and Chaffe(d balls): lollolololololololoolololololo

 

[Pryce]

O'Malley needs to go shirtless next debate

Oh. Ohhhhhh.
