Mexican strange is a powerful thing.
I'm listening to the TYT audio while watching the Telemundo video, they're going to bitch about the moderator a lot.

It's kind of ridiculous for the interviewers to expect any candidate, whether Hillary, Bernie, Cruz, Trump etc to be able to answer the Apple Encryption situation. At least with any specificity.
How much do these people know about this at this moment?

This year is absolutely nothing like 2004. That year Dean was ahead for most of the previous year and then imploded. Here no one thought Sanders had a chance three months ago so its only now that they're looking at his proposals. One other difference is that unlike Dean, Sanders has actually managed to win a state outside of Vermont.

So watching this kind of reminded me of a Gail Collins column I read a little while back.
I wonder if she has a better answer to this central American children question since the debate.
lol.

Conservatives hate Trump, but they hate a Pope who suggests that the current system is strangling the global poor even more. Of course they were going to take Trump's side.
Honestly, the people getting pissed at Bernie remind me of the people who are still pissed at Nader, as though there is not a history of third parties being used as vehicles for protest. Dems never learn because they always assign the blame when they elect a weak GE candidate elsewhere, instead of consistently focusing on what works for them (i.e. young, charismatic candidates like Clinton and Obama). Only a quarter of the country actually identify as Democrats, and the ones that don't probably don't feel a strong loyalty to the party, itself.

What does releasing transcripts have to do with gay marriage...

I was wondering that myself
Yeah, I was lost on that one too...
"I trusted you!"
I have no idea.
It felt like either he had two questions and butted in with the second one, or that he was trying to win a point against Clinton since he identified as a Sanders supporter.
Either way, non sequitur.

Obama/Romney "check the transcripts".gif
I'd say this thread accounts for most of the people watching this so I doubt it.

holy shit Trump was asked what he'd replace Obamacare with.
His answer is HSAs and allowing buying across state lines.
Literally the GOP talking points the last 10 years, sans tort reform.

Better than Jeb's plan
It's a gotcha question.

Looking out for the common man! These voters suffering from economic anxiety under Obama might be suffering a bit more under Trump.
Gonna disappoint those people waiting for the pivot to the centre on healthcare, but he's been flirting with that idea since Carson mentioned it a few months ago so not surprising.

The transcripts also have the hidden whitey tape.

He's said this at previous debates, as well. It's a popular answer for people that want health coverage expanded but don't want it to be via the expansion of the welfare state. Whether it would actually work is dubious, but absent proof that it wouldn't work, it leaves just enough room to sound credible.
Edit: Good for Hillary being open about race, but I can't help but think it's coming now because she knows that she needs the loyalty African Americans and doesn't want to risk losing any to Bernie now that his path to the nomination basically requires a seismic shift among them. Not that it's a bad strategy.

My brother went there, too. I'm tempted to see if it's possible to get tickets to the VP debate.

Basically, it's the GOP health care plan of the past 10 years + expanded medicaid?
lol @ a GWB supporter asking about his attack on Bush lying.
Trump rambles so much, lolz. And he apparently has talked to everyone on Earth.

It's not. They already said it's not happening.
Announcement came out and immediately were like don't ask for tickets, we don't have any.

Hillary vs. Trump in the general will just be so odd. Trump has little understanding of policy details whereas Hillary is a fucking nerd who knows everything.

She "flip flopped" on marriage equality, or as she says, she evolved. Regardless what you call it, she only changed her view when the public sentiment made the stance easy to subscribe too.
So he's questioning her sincerity on regulating Wall St. and in order to trust her on said issue the voter wants to know how she talks to the investment banking elite behind close doors, especially when she's getting paid an egregiously large speaking fee.

But he secretly supports single-payer right?

Bernie had one of his worst town hall performances, Hillary is doing fine so far
I mean there's a certain quote you could dig up that could strengthen this theory.
