Bernie won. He will jump from 33% to 35% in the polls. #winning #poorhillary

 

[User 463088]

Were you even listening? Serious question.

He wasn't fishing for applause mentioning veterans, Bernie is a leader in the senate on veteran issues.

Yes, I was listening. It wasn't a good answer. He's qualified to be President because he compromised with Republicans on a Veterans Bill. He didn't get everything he wanted, so he....what?

 

[Karsticles]

What was the "she" line from Hillary? Baby noise.

 

[legacyzero]

Bernie's Wall Street segment rocked Hilary

her corner was like

Yep.

"Bu-bu-bu 9/11!!"

 

[Arkeband]

Hillary was weaker this time around.

That tweet halfway through the debate calling her out for invoking 9/11 was a turning point. O'Malley and Bernie were chummy and teaming up on Clinton.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

You mean blind idealism won't get things done? Liar.

Like the idealism Hilldawg is going to get anything done in a Republican controlled Congress?

When Hilldawg wins, you're going to see the GOP become even more obstructionist. It's going to be 12 years since a Republican took the White House, and we're going to transition from a black man to a white woman in the oval. That won't sit well with the GOP.

 

[kirblar]

I don't understand how Bernie is going to win a general with saying how shitty everything is and running away from Obama's accomplishments.

Pendulum politics only swings two ways and he's the same party as the guy who has been President for 8 years. It's the same reason why 2012 was good for Dems. They had Obama going out reminding people of all the stuff he's actually gotten done with what he had inherited.

He's not the same party.

 

[Gamerloid]

Bernie = VOTE YOU FUCKING MILLENNIALS

He's got me

 

[Elfforkusu]

You mean Democrats showed up to a Democratic debate?

That is exactly what i'm saying!

Bernie = VOTE YOU FUCKING MILLENNIALS

:lol

 

[Officerrob]

Bernie = VOTE YOU FUCKING MILLENNIALS

Won't happen

 

[watershed]

I feel like all 3 did well and looked strong in their own ways. They all look like "serious candidates" unlike the countless republicans in it for the book deals, tv shows, and speaking tours,

Sanders' best answer was on his crisis with Veteran Affairs legislation. Hillary was solid throughout, and O'Malley showed he can hold the stage with both of them.

 

[JustenP88]

Ugh, a social media breakdown?

 

[exmachina64]

I think "just get off your ass and vote" is what he's going for.

"Get off your ass and vote," isn't a revolution. It's more like an ideal version of the current system.

 

[User1608]

Yup. Activists have to demand everything happens now (you have to ask for 100% to get 50, if you ask for 50 you get 10) but politicians have to be practical

Agreed.

I think O'Malley had a nice performance tonight, Hillary did well and so did Bernie. At least they're adults and can take tough questions too.

 

[Cipherr]

It's so clear Hillary has plants in the audience to clap.

Oh boy... another meltdown is soooooooo inc once the tallies start to come in showing Clinton had yet another strong showing here. Just like last time. I cannot wait until we are past the primaries so the meltdowns can take a break. At least until election night.

 

[Ape]

Won't happen

Make an app to vote

 

[kingkitty]

LOL they're doing this segment with the candidates sitting there....why

 

[phanphare]

yikes, hillary's biggest spike was a bad deflection

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

He's not the same party.

He will be in the general.

 

[RoKKeR]

WTF just happened?

Were they piping that into the room? Haha

 

[GnawtyDog]

damn, CBS ending it early.

CBS handled this debate so damn weird. Who planned this? No walk of fame for the candidates at the end.

 

[Tesseract]

Won't happen

we will see

 

[params7]

LOL they're doing this segment with the candidates sitting there....why

I'm loving this. Its idiotic but O'Malley xD

 

[Makai]

Worst debate ever. I'm here to see blood.

 

[Sianos]

the winner of the debate was the democratic party as a whole, imo

showed that they can take tough questions, deal with follow ups without whining about the liberal media, and actually followed the rules

 

[nillah]

Trump hijacks democratic debate by tweets

 

[FiggyCal]

I don't understand how Bernie is going to win a general with saying how shitty everything is and running away from Obama's accomplishments.

How has Bernie run away from Obama's accomplishments? He is constantly saying how great Obamacare is.

 

[ThisGuy]

I like Bernie. But honestly I feel pretty good with Hillary too. Pretty much a win-win.

I want single payer.
I want cheaper education.
I want criminal justice reform.

It's all about me.

 

[C0unter]

lol, O'Malley

 

[Boke1879]

Yes, absolutely. And all those polls showing that Hilldawg is absolutely crushing Bernie are also a conspiracy! It simply cannot be the case that there are more Hillary fans in the audience because far more Hillary fans exist!

The delusion of Bernie fans is as adorable as a little old man passionately yelling at clouds past his bedtime.

Bernie fans need to realize that Hilary is the favorite and she's playing the political game very well.

 

[benicillin]

As usual the actual winner is the democratic party in general for going on stage and not being complete fuck-ups.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Oh boy... another meltdown is soooooooo inc once the tallies start to come in showing Clinton had yet another strong showing here. Just like last time. I cannot wait until we are past the primaries so the meltdowns can take a break. At least until election night.

What about the meltdown when hillary loses to some republican schmuck?

 

[Bronx-Man]

There's a high probability that Democrats will win back the Senate in 2016, so I doubt congress is going to get any more obstructionist in the future. They'll definitely try, but I doubt they'll succeed.

 

[exmachina64]

He's not the same party.

Should he say he's not a Democrat if he wins the nomination and not help Congressional races?

 

[DietRob]

I'm sorry but I'm really tired of Sanders pie in the sky idealism. He's been in government long enough to know he can never keep the vast majority of his 'campaign promises'. It's almost insulting.

 

[lednerg]

Thanks CBS for the Twittersphere roundup. Much more worthwhile than asking another question.

 

[Nickle]

O'Malley's best moment was a Trump diss. Never seen those before.

 

[ElectricThunder]

The backwards stuff is happening primarily at the state level in large part due to gerrymandering and GOP control. It's a huge issue.

...mmm---don't think I can square that kind of proportion. Gerrymandering is a disaster, but even as somebody in the state of GA---there's definitely been ample disasters and kicking the damn can down the road from the federal side that is at least on par of our most tremendous of screw ups.

Weaker links will break a chain, but putting/leaving the chain outright in a corrosive environ will sure as shit factor in quite well, if not moreso.

 

[Brakke]

Make an app to vote

we need someone to partner with #brands to #disrupt voting imo

 

[FiggyCal]

I like Bernie. But honestly I feel pretty good with Hillary too. Pretty much a win-win.

I want single payer.
I want cheaper education.
I want criminal justice reform.

It's all about me.

When was the last time Hillary said anything about single payer?

 

[Tarkus]

He will be in the general.

We can only hope.

 

[AniHawk]

Democrats win again.

this is my takeaway

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Make an app to vote

Voter fraud. It'd be restricted to Rose gold iPhone. Nothing less than 64 gb models

 

[cDNA]

He cut the debate five minutes to talk about twitter :{

 

[exmachina64]

Make an app to vote

And you thought Healthcare.gov was bad.

 

[East Lake]

He's not going to win a general. He's serving his purpose to make Hillary's proposals look reasonable, or else she'd be catching heat for an "unrealistic" minimum wage.

Bernie wouldn't have any traction if Obama hadn't underperformed on the economy.

 

[kingkitty]

Worst debate ever. I'm here to see blood.

worst debate ever, worst thread ever

 

[Diprosalic]

Won't happen

his base will wake up on wednesday and be like "oh shit, this was yesterday?"

 

[Epsilon-delta]

There's a high probability that Democrats will win back the Senate in 2016, so I doubt congress is going to get any more obstructionist in the future. They'll definitely try, but I doubt they'll succeed.

I need to see it happen first before I get my hopes up. Us Democrats don't come out to vote during mid-terms.

 

[Cronox]

Once again, Hillary absolutely slays it. Killing fucking Bin Laden. These fools are not even competition.

Lol, that was hilarious.

Bruh...

Yes, absolutely. And all those polls showing that Hilldawg is absolutely crushing Bernie are also a conspiracy! It simply cannot be the case that there are more Hillary fans in the audience because far more Hillary fans exist!

What is this childishness.
