That "youre not in the white house yet" line was a huge swing and a miss by bernie

 

[teruterubozu]

Hillary came off as patronizing against young people on that.

"we need to explain, especially to [dumb] young people"

 

[- J - D -]

Dammit all I have is cooking brandy.

 

[Makai]

Did they boo or go ooooo

I heard some chuckles.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Because the government can't do anything right, and government jobs are inferior to private sector jobs because public servants are sucking on the teet of government too.

Oh shit, mirror match.

 

[BigJonsson]

So why is more government automatically seen as a bad thing here? Expanding government here would also mean more stable jobs for a lot of people. Why is that never highlighted as opposed to the supposed decrease in liberty etc?

Because "the people" can do it better!

 

[Draper]

So uncalled for, Bernie...

"When I am in the White House..."

 

[Brinbe]

Clinton gonna sink herself with this price tag and "it's just not realistic" comments here.

Sounds like to young people "No you can't be a musician it doesn't make enough money".

Not to anyone that's paid attention to politics in the last seven years.

 

[valkillmore]

Did they boo or go ooooo

They oood. But I think that was a bit of a misstep for Bern

Real unemployment?

 

[NullPointer]

So uncalled for, Bernie...

Maybe, but he looks primed to fight.

 

[The Librarian]

"We aren't this other country so this liberal policy that works for them won't work for us!"

Has always been poor reasoning to me.

It's not a case of American exceptionalism. It has to do with our system that's been in place for sixty years (formed during world war ii) where you can't just switch from one system to others very smoothly.

Slow, gradual change would be better for America's healthcare tonight than something more sudden. Remember how people got pissed that their insurance plans got cancelled?

 

[jerry113]

I like that Bernie uses the NHS as an example of awesome healthcare.

How shit is US healthcare?

Medical bills are the #1 reason for people declaring bankruptcy here

 

[ISOM]

Not in the white house yet.

I liked that.

haha me too

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Did they boo or go ooooo

Seemed like a mix of both.

 

[SURGEdude]

So uncalled for, Bernie...

It wasn't smart, but it wasn't unreasonable. I hate when candidates assume they've already won. But the audience sure didn't like it.

 

[B-Dubs]

The Republican talking points on unemployment are a bad look.

He used it in his first answer too, we shouldn't be legitimizing their bullshit and yet here we are.

 

[Apt101]

Hilary is winning the debate on its face - she's better at persuasive rhetoric. However, her track record and massive backing by (and support of) Wall Street and the 1% suggests she won't aggressively address tax loopholes nor increase taxes on the rich.

 

[theignoramus]

Wow, that was a shitty remark by Bernie.

Not at all. That's Hilldawgs narrative, inevitability.

 

[And_Gignac]

The Republican talking points on unemployment are a bad look.

She is doing the same with Healthcare soo, both uglies.

 

[Manmademan]

So why is more government automatically seen as a bad thing here? Expanding government here would also mean more stable jobs for a lot of people. Why is that never highlighted as opposed to the supposed decrease in liberty etc?

"more government" is automatically opposed by republicans and conservatives on principle. They dismantle government and are in favor of privatization.

Since they're somewhere between 40 and 50 percent of the country, they're a massive roadblock to doing pretty much anything.

 

[AnotherNils]

"you're not in the white house yet"

really, bernie?

...with dead silence afterwards. I think he was expecting a reaction when he dropped that line.

 

[Geist-]

I appreciate Hillary making the affirmative case for incrementalism tonight. We want to get universal health care, but we don't want to uproot everything we've accomplished so far.

I'm honestly curious, how would this uproot what we've accomplished so far? Bernie wouldn't be dismantling the ACA first, then trying to implement a NHS. He would be trying to implement the NHS as a direct sequel to the ACA, which would only be dismantled if NHS is passed (unlikely).

 

[Dude Abides]

Hillary's suit looks like she should be on Star Trek.

What's Bernie's definition of speculation?

I wish Hillary would expand the information there.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Not in the white house yet.

I liked that.

I was fine with it.

He's not wrong.

I doubt it. It will be forgotten by the next commercial break.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Yeah fuck Scott Walker

 

[BanGy.nz]

Nice dig at Scott Walker.

 

[B-Dubs]

What kids are working in factories? We have child labor laws!

Did I miss hear that?

 

[Makai]

lol Bernie

 

[Raxus]

Ouch, Scott Walker. Low blow.

 

[ivysaur12]

Hahahahahahaha drag Scott Walker

 

[Syf]

very brief

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

they're loling at bernie. what an old loon.

 

[SURGEdude]

"we need to explain, especially to [dumb] young people"

That was my read as well. Her tone is much better, but that was not great.


Good jab at Walker though Hill.

 

[AnotherNils]

Oh shit, mirror match.

It'd be really creepy if spider-man was my avatar.

 

[Red]

we can

we cant!

The campaigns in a nutshell.

 

[GashPrex]

Hillary on her game - pushes hard on Sanders

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Because "the people" can do it better!

In Europe a lot of people are clamoring for less government too, but they usually frame it as an austerity thing.

 

[danm999]

Fuck Scott Walker.

 

[kirblar]

Walker line was fantastic.

 

[SSPssp]

Amazing Walker shot!

 

[exmachina64]

Dammit all I have is cooking brandy.

Get turnt, bro.

 

[Wes]

Sounds to me Hilary is baiting Sanders to go to his speech lines, Bernie goes for it, then Hilary goes "we want the same thing, but I can realistically do it".

 

[Your Entertainer]

we can

we cant!

Ha.

Again, different messages being highlighted here big time

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I like you Bernie and all, but this isn't short at all.
