Support NeoGAF

[HylianTom]

I don't like the collar that Bernie has chosen to go with this outfit.

Is it just me or is PBS the only network treating this like a debate and not a sporting event

Sooo... I'm curious. There's this narrative now that the Clinton campaign is in what is described as anywhere from a scramble to a panic.

Guys like (not picking on them but the names just stick in my mind) Amir0x and B-Dubs on GAF are constantly pointing out that anyone who understands politics knows that Sanders has no chance, and if you think he does you're ignorant.

So what's the deal? Is the Clinton campaign actually worried or is that just a myth? If they are, are they uneducated on US politics? Have Sanders' chances in the southeast changed at all?

Sanders definitely has a chance to win the nomination. He won New Hampshire and nearly tied Iowa, he obviously has a chance.

That chance is not high -- Hillary's still the frontrunner. She's the candidate preferred by the party establishment and they do a lot of work when it comes to primaries. And although the superdelegates wouldn't flip the election if Sanders had a towering lead, if the two were neck and neck they would probably put their thumb on the scale for Hillary.

But Hillary is perhaps understandably careful about this sort of thing, having lost the last primary to a candidate considered a long shot. So she's probably being a little reactive right now, ust in case.

 

[SURGEdude]

Good openings from both

Agreed. Both stepped up majorly.

 

[Jenov]

She is trying to replicate her post NH speech which is good since that was one hell of a good speech.

I agree, I think that was one of her best speeches the entire campaign.

 

[Zyae]

Can we please not talk about what Hillary is wearing or her hair or anything? It's not a great look.

Great openers for both.

If people stop talking about Bernies Accent

 

[stupei]

I am still at work and I have a whole bottle of Tito's at home.

This is awful.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Opening statements were exactly as expected from both.

 

[Community Forum]

PBS fail, a commercial break already!?

Well they said only two breaks, so this is the first one, then I would assume one break at the hour mark.

 

[Raxus]

Agreed. Both stepped up majorly.

I think we have two good choices. Especially when compared to what is left in the republican field.

 

[theignoramus]

Hillary's opening message filled the voids Sanders should have handled a long time ago.

Hit the smaller details.

Exactly. She will kill him every time on opening and closing statements until he starts doing the same.

 

[SURGEdude]

Is it just me or is PBS the only network treating this like a debate and not a sporting event

Yeah the sane montage was a good sign.

 

[ivysaur12]

If people stop talking about Bernies Accent

Sure. I just don't like discussing what female politicians are wearing. Same when we did it with Carly.

 

[SolarPowered]

When was he not talking about it? Like what month and year?

I mean he was talking about it more. Should have worded it better.

Can we please not talk about what Hillary is wearing or her hair or anything? It's not a great look.

Great openers for both.

I like her outfit just as I liked Obama's look when he went to China.

Relax

 

[Izuna]

Aww yeah lets get crazy

weak

 

[zoozilla]

I wish Bernie didn't always hunch over the podium like that. It's too easy to photoshop a walker there.

 

[rec0ded1]

Bernie needs a pop filter

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I am still at work and I have a whole bottle of Tito's at home.

This is awful.

don't you have an emergency bottle of liquor in one of your drawers?

 

[Psychoward]

"sanders how much would government play a role"

"well first have you heard about redistributing wealth"

 

[B-Dubs]

Are you really going to be using the GOP talking point when it comes to unemployment Bernie? Really?

 

[SURGEdude]

Not a great pivot Bernie. He has a good idea but this is a lame answer.

 

[The Technomancer]

That's not going to be enough if the opening statements are anything to go by.

You bring great shame to your avatar.

You're both right

 

[WarMacheen]

uh....Bern....you're not answering the question


yep, a non answer, damn Bern come on

 

[User 463088]

I got to see the opening statements on the TV in the break room.

That's it for me, because I don't get off until this is over.

My queen was on point. Bernie was on the stump. This is not new information.

I'm living vicariously through all of you, while wearing my Hillary pin under my jacket.

 

[RustyNails]

answer the question about deficit, jeez

Dude has nothing

 

[Brinbe]

What a stupid question!

But Hillary is right to attack him on this

 

[Jenov]

Why does HIllary dye her hair? She should embrace the silver.

Being a woman in the public eye is hard. Hardly any of them don't dye their hair in comparison to men. Men with grays are looked on as distinguished, but many women are just looked at as old.

 

[Ashodin]

Here's the tito bottle. Can't drink (getting wife later) but yeahhhhhhh

 

[SURGEdude]

You're both right

Much better! Go big or go home.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I wish Bernie didn't always hunch over the podium like that. It's too easy to photoshop a walker there.

I'd like to see that shop.

 

[AlphaDump]

it is interesting how both answer and address the questions. Entirely different approaches.

 

[Psychoward]

here come the attacks, strap in

 

[SlowRevolution]

rough start for Sanders.

 

[The Technomancer]

What a stupid question!

Dumb? Yes. An inescapable part of rhetoric in 2016? Also yes

 

[ivysaur12]

Hillary sounds a lot more relaxed than she has recently.

 

[kingkitty]

I mean he was talking about it more. Should have worded it better.

I like her outfit just as I liked Obama's look when he went to China.

Relax

i also like the star trek look, it's fresh

way more fresh compared to boring ole tie

 

[brainchild]

Aww yeah lets get crazy

This guy knows what's up.

Anyway, fantastic opening from Hillary. Exactly what she needed to say to start the night off strong.

 

[TheChits]

I think we have two good choices. Especially when compared to what is left in the republican field.

Indeed.

 

[brochiller]

Lol what? Let's not do math, huh Hillary? Math is hard.

 

[luckygodzilla]

Hillary sounds a lot more relaxed than she has recently.

Yeah getting some of that as well.

 

[Raxus]

What a stupid question!

How so? Government expansion and cost are legitimate questions to ask on implementing policy.

 

[Ashodin]

Bernie fires back!

 

[kirblar]

Hillary sounds a lot more relaxed than she has recently.

Yeah, it's very noticeable.

 

[LaNaranja]

Hillary sounds a lot more relaxed than she has recently.

Yeah, it makes Bernie seem more angry than usual.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

What the hell is Tito's, and why does everyone have it? Is it amazing?

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

"This is not about math"


...but, your answer was all about how the math doesn't add up?

 

[Nickle]

Bernie only cares about math, Hilary cares about people

 

[ivysaur12]

Ugh I only have Svedka (but also a concert tonight finish this up ASAP pls)

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I'm liking that this is an actual debate this time.

 

[Kthulhu]

Bernie calling out Hill dog.
