I cant believe Bernie didn't respond to Hillary accusing him of praising Castro's revolution of kidnapping and disappearing people lol

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

It feels like Hillary finally found a politically acceptable (for Democrats) avenue to attack Bernie from the right.

 

[maabus1999]

Bernie can not be the nominee now. He basically just lost Florida in the GE with that answer. No way super delegates will ever switch now (which I know is the last hope for a lot of folks).

 

[NeoXChaos]

what did he say to lose FL?

 

[Coriolanus]

I cant believe Bernie didn't respond to Hillary accusing him of praising Castro's revolution of kidnapping and disappearing people lol

For realsies. At worst he could've at least pivoted that into the fuckery Batista was doing with US backing.

what did he say to lose FL?

1985 clip of him praising fidel and ortega. Didn't say that his views evolved.

 

[Makai]

She has most likely been made aware that she can be easily perceived as arrogant. Thus, she must moderate her language to appear humble. Costs nothing and easy to do, might as well do it.

I think the rules might be different in both parties. It's called confidence if you're a Republican.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

what did he say to lose FL?

"What do you think about the Communist dictators of Cuba in the past?"

"Well.... let me say, U.S. intervention is bad."

I knowwww... what the hell Bernie.

 

[pigeon]

I find it weird that Hillary always says, "if I am so fortunate to be president.." when people like Marco Rubio always say, "and when I'm president..."

She DID say "when I'm president" once and Bernie immediately said "Well, you're not president yet."

PATRIARCHY

 

[MysticDistance]

Here comes the stump speech again... lol

 

[User 406]

I think the rules might be the same in both parties. It's called confidence if you're a man.

fixed

 

[Makai]

I didn't recognize your post without another idiotic Matrix gif

 

[Suikoguy]

I guess it makes some sense of Univision to bring up Castro, but holy shit to have the video too?

Yeah, he might have just tanked his presidency, that was like Trump's KKK moment.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Anyone care to summarize what happened for those who cannot watch?

Good they did it now before they hit the general. You know the RNC is desperate for info on Clinton when they are trying to sue her aides to get their emails. Sanders is unelectable in a general election.

 

[Iolo]

Last debate I'm watching. I can't take Bernie's talking points anymore.

Ok, when you're saying that, then wow. I'm not actually watching right now partially because I'm working and also because I'm debated out. But the NYT reporters have also been commenting on the apparently unbalanced nature of the questioning. So strange.

edit wtf now there's a Castro clip? what is this fuckery

 

[A Human Becoming]

I guess it makes some sense of Univision to bring up Castro, but holy shit to have the video too?

Yeah, he might have just tanked his presidency, that was like Drumpf's KKK moment.

No, it's not. Racism is on a different level than communism for most people. Also that video was from 1985. He should have answered better, but it's not going to get the same attention.

 

[Makai]

Bernie killed it for like 95% of the debate and then had nothing to say when Hillary accused him of supporting dictators who disappear people.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

And lead in with the video on CNN..

 

[aspiegamer]

Bernie mostly nails it and dodges the nastiest moderator AND manages to get under Hillary's skin a few times ... and then blows all of it on the last question. Oh man.

Also, the moderators shat on Hillary the whole time. Still all a thousand times better discussion than any GOP debate.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I'd say that's more or less accurate.

 

[RastaMentality]

Can you imagine the ads of Sanders praising Castro running in South Florida next September? Florida would be Alabama-red. #DemDebate

Seriously. That was huge ammo.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Oh good, it was only twenty three years after the Cuban Missile Crisis; it's not like Castro had done anything really bad yet.

I don't understand how all the energy and passion just flew out of him after hearing that. Maybe it's for the best he didn't respond

 

[Coriolanus]

hmm. I do feel that Fiorina wouldn't have caught any flak for using that line. Feels quite personal with hills precisely because she's already perceived as somewhat arrogant.

Not that there aren't sexist issues at play, obv.

 

[BanGy.nz]

He wasn't prepared for that.

 

[maabus1999]

CNN is going all in on him. Honestly not a good night for Bernie on how it ended.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Oh good, it was only twenty three years after the Cuban Missile Crisis; it's not like Castro had done anything really bad yet.

I'm just saying anyone is entitle to change their opinion thirty years later. I'm sure I will if I live that long.

Ok, when you're saying that, then wow.

I like the idea of Bernie more than who he actually is.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I think "blows all of it" is an over exaggeration. It was a bad answer, but hardly negates the strong performance that preceded it.

 

[Suikoguy]

He wasn't prepared for that.

Then what the fuck will he do in the General when Republicans will sift through every video of him ever?

This is what many of us 'voting for Hillary due to electability' supporters have been saying for months.

Edit; This is not necessarily directed at you Bangy.nz

 

[Holmes]

Hopefully that puts an end to the Sanders experiment.

Exactly. He would get wrecked. That's not even accounting for the raise taxes stuff and honeymooned in Russia during the Cold War stuff.

 

[Makai]

Red October surprise

 

[NeoXChaos]

I'm scared.

 

[Officerrob]

Didn't watch the debate, but saw the Castro clip...

Bernie just gave away Florida if he was the nominee

 

[Black Republican]

i always miss the dem debates, probably didnt miss much

 

[ugaboga232]

How many cuban democrats are there in florida?

Also clinton still isn't GE tested either.

 

[GutsOfThor]

He just gave the whole fucking election away if he was nominee.

 

[B-Dubs]

Yep. I'm sure there's more and now that Univision drew first blood other outlets will start looking too.

Also clinton still isn't GE tested either.

Come on dude, the GOP has been trying to kill her for almost as long as I've been alive. Since Bill started running for office.

 

[pigeon]

I don't understand how all the energy and passion just flew out of him after hearing that.

Well, Castro didn't work on Wall Street.

 

[billeh]

Trump going around forgetting about the KKK calling immigrants rapists and kicking out muslims, Bernie compliments Cuba's health care and he's toast.

 

[And_Gignac]

Only older cubans care so much about Fidel. And they vote Republican, so whatvs. Bernie didnt lie about the healthcare thing.

 

[maabus1999]

Whats WORSE is he still AGREED with it....he's done in Florida.

Yeah...you don't know Florida politics. At all.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Bro, she's been in the spotlight over 2 decades and hated by the Republican party just as long. They aren't going to find anything on her that isn't already there.

 

[Suikoguy]

Clinton has not only been through a heated primary against Obama, but has been in the public eye for 25 years. I have no idea what you are talking about there.

Trump going around forgetting about the KKK calling immigrants rapists and kicking out muslims, Bernie compliments Cuba's health care and he's toast.

Are you seriously trying to equate both parties voters and moderates being the same, seriously?

 

[Ihyll]

I'm beginning to get a bit concerned here. Lot's of open primaries coming up and Sanders is hammering and driving home his populist message. He will most likely win Ohio and make Illinois super close.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

I'm in bushwick and the Bernie supporters at this watch party are super cute. Should I switch sides?

Just be Bernie-curious.

He'd have to win by 30-point margins for it to make a difference. He could win every future state by the same margin he won Michigan and Hillary would still be the nominee.

You do you bro, you do you.
