I mean, I'm not the kind of person who wants to throw out conspiracy theories in favor of my guy. I like all three candidates. Just wanna put out that disclaimer before I say this. Is anyone else confused as fuck about the way this is moderated? I feel like three of four times this debate, a moderator has said "This question is for each of you. 30 seconds a piece." and then proceeded to only ask one person the question, give them a full minute, then move on while the other candidates protest. It's weird.

Terrible moderation.

That's been happening and they've been favoring Hillary the entire time. O'Malley and Sanders have done a pretty good job of balancing it out when they actually speak.

Bernie is too honest and too good of a man to be a politician. This is why he'll loose to Hillary. People would rather be lied to by a smooth politician than vote for an honest and blunt candidate.
 
Stupid question, but he got the deplorable line in there again. Which...which was the whole point of the question.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"His behavior was deplorable".




So Sanders, if you REALLY didn't want to talk about it, why didn't you ACTUALLY not talk about it?

Great response by Senator Sanders.
"I don't want to talk about it."

"His behavior was deplorable".

I mean, he just repeated what he said before. I wouldn't exactly call that "talking about it".

Hillary had a very strange reaction to Bernie saying he wouldn't have a Goldman Sachs Secretary of Treasury, like "sure buddy like you'll have any say in the matter."

It was more like, "that's such a ridiculous pledge." After all, it implies that only people who work for Goldman Sachs or other financial institutions are capable of being corrupt or inept. You want a treasure secretary who has experience dealing with economic issues and who understand financial institutions thus you can only go to two places Academia or the Private Sector, and even those in Academia are likely to have ties to large financial institutions like Goldman Sachs.

It's a dumb pledge.

The thing about O'Malley not getting time though, while it looks unfair, is that he is polling at next to nothing. So I think it's fair for the moderators to direct most of the speaking time to the candidates voters are actually supporting or even considering supporting. If he wants more speaking time, win more support. I think that's just the way it is.

You don't go to Goldman Sachs for a competent regulator period.
