[The M]

These are on the weekend for a reason.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

Didn't know this was happening.

 

[Downhome]

Wait, this isn't a joke thread? I haven't heard a single word about this anywhere until right now. Wow.

 

[Future Foundation]

That picture of McKinnon!Clinton is scaring the shit out of me.

 

[Toxi]

with Hillary Clinton

She's got the Stanley Kubrick crazy eyes.

 

[Henchmen21]

Wait, this isn't a joke thread? I haven't heard a single word about this anywhere until right now. Wow.

Blame the DNC/DWS. That's the reason.

 

[Jarmel]

Jesus the DNC really are trying to sweep these debates under the rug huh?

 

[Guevara]

Wait, this isn't a joke thread? I haven't heard a single word about this anywhere until right now. Wow.

.

 

[And_Gignac]

Lol let's hope today's drama sparks a little interest in this. The DNC will regret all the free coverage they are giving to the GOP debates.

 

[Community Forum]

I wonder how the Sanders database thing will affect the debate. I mean, Hillary could just lay in on that and destroy couldn't she?

 

[Amir0x]

Jesus the DNC really are trying to sweep these debates under the rug huh?

Yes. They really want no prolonged primary season. They want a coronation as quickly as possible lol

Given how absurd the Republicans are right now w/ these debates, I can see why.

 

[User1608]

Man, I hope I can watch this. Thanks DNC and DWS!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Didn't know this was happening.

Nobody did.

 

[Lombax]

I want all of these clowns out of my state ASAP! Except Bernie, he's cool.

 

[Clefargle]

Let's GOOOOO!

Wonder if Hildawg will go for Bernies jugular over the data thievery or act dignified and above it. Either way, I'm watching.

 

[RPGCrazied]

So watching. I hope they grill Trump.

 

[Limited Edition]

Jesus the DNC really are trying to sweep these debates under the rug huh?

Not hard to blame them, considering the DNC is running on hopes, dreams, and IOU slips.

 

[Linkyn]

Sweet! I'm seeing TFA tonight, but should be back in time to catch a stream.

Btw, I love LD's Bernie.

 

[Transistor]

Only 3? Man, the DNC has to really catch up to the GOP on debate counts

 

[Volimar]

Really wondering how hard Hillary will hit Sanders on the breech.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Only 3? Man, the DNC has to really catch up to the GOP on debate counts

They don't need 10+ debates with only "3" candidates.
The GOP has 100 people running, so you need more debates just so they have time for everyone.

I forgot the /s

The Democratic National Committee is scheduling as few debates as possible to benefit Hillary Clinton's campaign. I wouldn't be surprised if this thread is the first time most of the people here were aware that there's a debate tonight.

 

[Black Republican]

Live from New Hampshire? shit we need a Live from BBQ version. Come on Dems/GOP!

Wait, this isn't a joke thread? I haven't heard a single word about this anywhere until right now. Wow.

The Grandmaster

This is her world, we just living in it bruh

 

[RustyNails]

Great OP!!!

 

[Geist-]

Wait, this isn't a joke thread? I haven't heard a single word about this anywhere until right now. Wow.

Even the guys I know who follow politics religiously forgot this was happening. In fact, I just read something about where they were planning to host the 4th debate in January and honestly thought that was the next debate.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Whoa, this is sudden.

 

[Bay Maximus]

I'll be watching a few beers deep. Can't believe people didn't know about this...

 

[HUELEN10]

The one demmy I would vote for this election has been caught involved with allegedly shady, and news is sill coming out.

I... I just don't know about this one.

 

[zero shift]

Jesus the DNC really are trying to sweep these debates under the rug huh?

They already have their candidate, and it is one that is a shoe-in for the general. The more debates there are the more chances there are for Hillary to trip up and thus lose support. Sure, the chance of that happening are slim to none, but the Democrats aren't going to take that risk.

 

[danm999]

Really wondering how hard Hillary will hit Sanders on the breech.

My guess is not much at all. Not a lot for her to gain.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Are you guys kidding? The DNC is doing all the lifting, she'll keep her hands clean and make some "magnanimous gesture" out of vouching for Sanders' character in all the time she's know him. It'll be sprinkled with just enough ambiguity to leave some subtle doubt, but nothing overt. Like, probably just a few bad apples, never known Bernie to personally be dishonest, then some neutral let the process play out rhetoric, etc. etc.

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see the likely political kabuki in this whole thing. Why would the front runner sully themselves with finger pointing given the numbers? Better to play nice, increase the odds of soaking up doubtful Bernie supporters when it's time for them to come around and be good team players. She just needs to play nice enough to appear gracious, but leave an escape hatch if "new facts come to light".

Pretty much how I expect it to play out.

Clinton isn't in position where she has to attack Bernie to stay aflot.

Vote for deez nuts.

Spoiler

Is that still a thing?

Did you not hear what her campaign said about him? Check the other thread. Mind you, I'd be fine if she kept herself above it.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm glad I posted this 24 hours in advance so more people knew about it.

Just post it. That thread is not particularly fun.

 

[lawnchair]

why is this on a saturday night

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Oh God, I just realized what the canned response will actually be. Moderator gives Clinton opening, Clinton echoes what Bernie said to her about the Benghazi emails, congenial laughs will be had. Many back pats for not being as childish as the GOP during debates. Clip is relooped endlessly. Chris Matthews jizzes all over, reaffirming his love of "this stuff".

The transmission... fading. Psychic powers, almost spent...

Whoa, what am I doing here? Did I type that?

 

[Republic of Ezo]

Let's dial it straight up to a 10, folks.

 

[The Lamonster]

Thanks for not making a "who?" joke about Martin O'Malley, OP. Sick of that shit.

Anyway, excited that this is actually on network television. I can watch it on my TV without connecting a laptop!

 

[Indicate]

Go Bernie!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Completely forgot about this. Guess I'll be watching.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I wonder how the Sanders database thing will affect the debate. I mean, Hillary could just lay in on that and destroy couldn't she?

I doubt there'd be any real point or that it would be in good taste. That's the type of "gossipy" stuff that should stay out of the debates IMO

 

[And_Gignac]

"SHAME ON YOU, BERNIE SANDERS"

Do it, Hilly.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

is Biden in this one yet?

 

[Bel Marduk]

"SHAME ON YOU, BERNIE SANDERS"

Do it, Hilly.

Shame on him for what exactly?

 

[Foffy]

"SHAME ON YOU, BERNIE SANDERS"

Do it, Hilly.

No, she shouldn't use those words. She has better words to use.

"Cut it out, Bernie!"

The words that stopped Wall Street corruption.

So wait you're either going to vote for a left wing socialist or some insane right wing demagogue?
