All i remember from Webb is crying about time and how he killed a guy.

Drudgereport online poll shows Jim Webb is doing well with 25% thinking he won.

Bernie needs to not just state his case but call out differences from Clinton's policies as she is too good at giving non-responses. He is too civil and is not actually engaging in debate.
Clinton is Teflon and can still turn on her charm. I started wavering in my certainty of her beating any GOP candidate but I'm pretty confident in that being the case now. Anderson hit her hard at the start more articulately than any of the clown car inhabitants will.

The only difference between now and then is the fact we let Education become a money making scheme.
Well, he certainly appeals to Drudge's audience.

Just the very fact it's online means its probably skewed towards him. The Reddit 20 something crowd is very geared towards sanders
Yeah Chaffee made me think he was Homer Simpson. Webb made me think he was OJ Simpson.
It was weak because its current status actually interferes with anybody's ability to perform the research she says she wants to see. It *needs* to be reclassified at the federal level in order to see the research carried out. Her stance was "I won't legalize it but" and then she said a bunch of things that require legalizing or severely de-criminalizing it.

lol, he ran for the wrong party.
Webb is beating O'Malley and that's just terrible.

I am genuinely surprised at the reaction to clintons proposal for tuition. 10 hours of work or volunteerism (I think that might a good compromise) during the study semesters would have appealed to me when I was in university. And university was dirt cheap compared to what Americans pay.
Does that mean where Trump is mostly factually wrong, Sanders is mostly, factually right? Where Trump is a good speaker, Sanders botches?
Volunteerism is by choice. It's not a double-bind like how it is proposed by her. That's a mandatory effort for volunteering, and that should tell you how fucking stupid it is.
It's better than the mess we have now, sure, but acceptable by itself? No.

Still liking Bernie and Hillary seemed more genuine tonight but I'd still vote for Bernie if he got the party nomination. O'Malley surprised me and I'd like to see more of him. Kick the other two guys out though.
Seems legit.
God I love it.

I would love to get to know O'Malley personally.
Like...get a few drinks? See what happens? I could get into that...

O'mally had an impressive closing statement and was eager to talk about actual issues and specific plans which was impressive.
Bernie still wins for me on issues by a lot. Though it's disappointing that he wouldn't pardon Snowden.
Hillary was surprisingly charismatic.
But I'm Canadian so I should probably go back to paying attention on our upcoming election.

I'm wondering who gained the most from this debate tonight?
Bernie is not strong on foreign policy, he's always been about pro government for America, to the point of protectionism, but he's never been someone 'concerned' with foreign intervention to start with unless absolutely necessary.
He's gone from a pacifist in his earlier days to a 'pragmatic' on wartime action which will likely anger a lot of anti war people. His gun record is spotty as well.
But besides those two issues, he came on very strong about what he's usually good at talking about, which is domestic issues in general
Hillary is stronger in terms of presentation in regards to foreign policy, but her domestic policy was like it was cribbed from somewhere two weeks ago. Not very convincing IMO.
O Mailey i think had the most to gain, because he was at like 1 percent, and now people actually know who he is, even if he was weaker than both Hillary and Bernie on all the issues.
The other people should not be there.

Says everything you need to know about both Drudge and online polls
Jim Webb is the new meme/troll candidate in online polls. No way is this going to reflect in the scientific ones.
WHERE IS JA RULE
As an America, I'd like to ask: how mainstream are some of the efforts in the election about ending poverty via basic income programs? I know the Green Party and Canadian Based God David Suzuki are totally for it, but I know nothing on the climate there.
Lmao
O'Malley. Went from nothing to something.
Clinton and Sanders won't have lost much though. They may not lose anything actually, they could peel off some of Biden's numbers honestly.
IIRC Webb was originally a Reagan Republican.
He only got into the Senate because George Allen, while running for re-election in 2006 with his eye toward the 2008 election (where he was likely the GOP establishment pick), screwed up by using a racist epithet against an Indian camera-man. Webb then basically won by default.

totally agreed. i have no clue how hilary came out so clean after her first two questions. Anderson came out going for the knock out punch and she pulled a mayweather.
much props to her.

Mandatory if you want free tuition. I mean, you still have a choice. I guess I'm dumb. Does not seem anywhere near unacceptable to me.

I agree with that poster so you're wrong.
Webb's enemy answer was the most exciting thing to happen in this snoozefest short of Hillary's "no". That was goddamn cool.
Chafee sucked for RI. He didn't deserve to be on stage tonight.

Did you even read my post past the numbers? Chill a little.
Nothing she proposed actually does anything major. Her actual proposal is Families have to pay something, Student needs to work and the money made from working will go to the school.
The reality is her plan does not radically change the system.

Hillary's good at this. This is her jam.
That's what a lot of us were saying going into this. She knows how to debate. She knows how to be a politician, for better or worse.

Clinton and O'malley will be be the ticket in 2016.
