[dramatis]

I'm not here for drama, but drama always finds me.

Hello! It's me.

 

[MilkBeard]

On foreign policy I totally agree. I think he killed her on the domestic stuff though.

They've both done very well though.

If only both of them could be on the same ticket. Oh, wait, they could--


Nope, not happening.

 

[Red]

I haven't been watching, but it sounds like Bernie's gone beast mode if the reactions here are any indication.

His cold sure has.

 

[Raxus]

the moderators don't even exist for PBS.

To be fair there isn't much to break up like the republican debates.

 

[SURGEdude]

Bernie and Hillary should do an MMA.

FTFY

 

[valkillmore]

He improved on FP from last debate, could still be a ton better but hes brought up some new things.

Noticed this immediately.

 

[injurai]

Domestic Policy is more important to me. Just hire Hillary as the SoS again.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Bernie, don't deny that you said you wanted Iranian and Saudi troops to fight as a muslim army together against ISIS.

Lol he's trying to walk that back?

 

[ivysaur12]

Hello! It's me.

legit lol

 

[phanphare]

Honestly, it bugs me when people cough on their hands. Coughing on your arm is the way to go. Sorry Bernie.

yeah agreed. I cough into my elbow.

 

[theignoramus]

I can't believe this debate has had exchanges on black issues, America's dodgy history in Iran and the criminality of Henry Kissinger.

 

[dave is ok]

Tommorow the news stories are going to be all about the Kissinger exchange.

 

[nillah]

What is he talking about

talk to your friends and "enemies" - Bernie on foreign policy

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I mean, yeah.

It's tough because it is such a strong subject for Hilary.

Finger waging is weirdly annoying me.

As hawkish as she is, how is she strong in foreign policy? During previous debates, she mostly never really convinced me with her answers. I don't understand why left leaning folks think she is strong at it.

 

[Clydefrog]

Also when the candidates can keep it civil and mostly on topic, moderators aren't needed. We've had some good back and forth dialogue on a variety of issues and it has been glorious.

GOP debate would never be like this. They are all too whiny and petulant and hungry for time to talk about nothing

It'll be interesting to see how the public reacts to the general election debate. Mud-slinging vs policy.

 

[Tesseract]

I haven't been watching, but it sounds like Bernie's gone beast mode if the reactions here are any indication.

he's sustaining super saiyan 2, dunno if he's unlocked 3.

 

[Trojita]

Hello! It's me.

legit lol

I'll agree.

 

[Jenov]

Lol he's trying to walk that back?

He was furiously wagging his finger while Clinton brought it up, lol.

 

[rtcn63]

Bernie won't shake your hand if you've coughed on it

 

[SURGEdude]

If only both of them could be on the same ticket. Oh, wait, they could--


Nope, not happening.

Establishment woman and socialist jew? Might be possible. They'd have my vote.

 

[reelbigtink]

Hello! It's me.

This is the best thing to happen during this debate

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I can't wait until the GOP field is also 1 v 1 just so the contrast in demeanor is that much more pronounced. Right now it can be chalked up to there being 8 people on stage fighting for time. The same can't be said when it's just Trump v Cruz or who ever.

 

[And_Gignac]

Who doesn't care? "People"

Its not an important part of this campaign up to this point. So people are not really invested atm. Doesnt matter since Bernie is doing good and he has the liberal, good approach to this topic.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Whoever wins, the dems will be much more split than in the previous elections, and on top of that won't pull the turnout numbers they had with Obama.

Good chance for Dems to lose the GE by a small margin at least.

 

[NullPointer]

Bernie won't shake your hand if you've coughed on it

He's not a popper either.

 

[Trojita]

yurop

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Cutta?

 

[ivysaur12]

Tommorow the news stories are going to be all about the Kissinger exchange.

I don't think there will be any news stories tomorrow about this debate since it's been mostly two people in general agreement with each other. And I think its two of their best debates.

 

[Elfforkusu]

I feel like this is because Bernie shook somebody's hand after they coughed on it.

talk to your friends and "enemies" - Bernie on foreign policy

I agree with him on this as well.

It's too bad he's not as polished on it as Hillary, we need somebody who can passionately articulate the non-hawk foreign policy stance.

 

[Jigorath]

Bernie should chill with the finger wagging.

It does not look very presidential.

 

[SURGEdude]

Compared to '08 fuck no!

 

[Jenov]

This debate overall is less entertaining, I feel like we've heard these same questions and responses from both candidates so many times now. Maybe I've just watched too many debates now.

 

[Parham]

Cutta?

Qatar

 

[shinra-bansho]

He improved on FP from last debate, could still be a ton better but hes brought up some new things.

It's better than the last one where he looked like a deer in the headlights.
He needs work on actually putting forward what he would do in terms of the US's place in the world. His improvement in this debate is based more on criticizing what she said or talks to.

Although, he probably doesn't. Because it's right that the Democrats don't actually care about foreign policy.

 

[ugaboga232]

Oh god this question is such a trap.

 

[studyguy]

Oh shit

 

[RoKKeR]

Kind of a strange question.

 

[Pastry]

This question lmao

 

[nib95]

Did you even read that post entirely, history is important, context is important but you can't just spout history alone. It's like when Dems back in 08' kept saying they didn't vote for Iraq but refused to make any suggestions as to how to solve the problem currently.

What problem? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, nor did they have any WMD's. It is not the US's role to overthrow regimes at the cost of trillions of dollars to tax payers, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, and the destability of an entire region, just to line the pockets of corporations and the military industrial complex. The correct thing to do would have been to do nothing, to simply not go to war. No alternative to Iraq was necessary.

 

[woen]

The finger wagging looks ridiculous. He'll never look like an executive, he simply doesn't have the bearing. That's fine, he's an excellent, excellent legislator, but maybe that's where he should stay.

You need to look President. Does he need to cut his hair or wear a wig ?

 

[Brinbe]

ooo good question

 

[Raxus]

Establishment woman and socialist jew? Might be possible. They'd have my vote.

Hillary getting Bernie on board would seal up the youth vote but Bernie would want to hire a minority VP to deal with his weakness.

 

[rec0ded1]

POP QUIZ!

 

[Codeacious]

"Facebook family"

 

[Trojita]

He said Afghanistan, should have been Iraq.

 

[pigeon]

You need to look President. Does he need to cut his hair or wear a wig ?

I will say that shirt collar is totally ridiculous. Makes him look out-of-touch and extreme.

 

[Ashodin]

Ooh, good question.

 

[studyguy]

Foreign policy?

 

[RastaMentality]

This isn't foreign policy Bernie

 

[...Scatter...]

Bernie took a contemporary history class recently apparently. Teddy and FDR references.
