Okay, this might be the only foreign policy weak point of the night. Bernie had better do well on the Iran topic. Improving relations with them is important for fighting ISIS.

Fake Edit: WTF @ Iran being the number one state sponsor of terrorism. She is drinking Saudi Koolaid sooooo hard. No one in their right mind can agree with her. :/

I've been thinking, is it even efficient to have a president? Its kind of hard to be an expert in all these fields (economy, social issues, foreign policies, etc.) and maybe it would be better to have someone for each major area

Way too much democracy for current times.

He should hit continue to hit her on Goldman, but expand the territory to the other donors such as CCA, JP Morgan, Citigroup ect, the dark money her Clinton Foundation has taken in, the weapons that foundation sold in destitute third world countries in order to fund factional strife, the 'donations' taking from big fracking firms and what she did as Secretary of State to push the fracking initiative to many global arenas just by nature of the lobby ect

Just confining the argument to Goldman is ineffective, because he is not so much taking on Clinton, but the entire corrupt system that she represents, its not just confined to one bank like Goldman or even one special interest like WallStreet or the banking sector. She is hardly alone in the GOP or the Democratic parties when it comes to 'favors', hands outs and corrupt connections, but she is the biggest name example.

You can tell Bernie is not a democrat, and the other Democrats are absolutely correct to hit him on being a DINO, but only in the sense that he has never been comfortable with kowtowing to a party affiliation over pointing out inherent systemic flaws.

The other Dems can hide behind the DNC and their political affiliations, but the Bern cannot. That might hurt him significantly if his message is not strong enough.

Moderators should ask Bernie Sanders a question about China's violation of south China Sea waters and it's effects on US trade and Thailand.

Hillary has a million times more nuanced foreign policy understanding than Sanders.

Sanders shines when he's talking about Wall St.

Hillary's bread and butter is foreign policy
This sooo much, I'm a Bernie supporter, but he's floundering badly on foreign policy.

Sanders is a good populist on economic issues but he is completely out of his depth here.

He should've prepped a lot more for these questions but on the other hand it is not possible to beat Hillary. She has had access to all the information for years.
 
i just thought about how when the republican debates have a foreign affairs segment it's basically just "BOOM ISIS. 9/11 was bad and we're still scared "

FP is easily one of Clinton's best areas. If you think otherwise you haven't been paying attention.

You don't know what strong suit means. I'm talking about doing the best in that field with what you're given, and Clinton wouldn't do the best thing. She's too warmongering.
