Anyone watching the March 9 Dem. Debate?

I find that these moderators are better than many of the other moderators. The audience is excited, however they are not ◊◊◊◊◊◊* crazy. At least not yet.

I'm not liking the Senate voting part of the debate -- quite frankly, anybody that knows how the senate does things knows that the bills are going to have quite a number of things to like or dislike in them. I consider most of that nonsense to be pretty much pointless, and always have. I know it's a regular part of politics, but it's not something I've ever cared to hear about because I know quite well that such things are generally entirely dishonest.
 
This is excellent. Fireworks, the meat of the matters, crowds cheering both sides, hard questions. I love it.

The funniest part is the moderators continually saying time's up and the candidates continuing to talk.:thumbsup:
 
This is way better than the Trump/Rubio/Cruz grade school playground "I know you are but what am I".

They've gotten to Sanders saying we need a revolution. Clinton is answering now about bipartisan action. Climate change is the issue at hand...

Clinton's talking policy, Sanders is flabbergasted about her comments, he has resisted interrupting, now he can't, Clinton goes on anyway.
 
Sanders talks tax on carbon and ending fracking.

Darn, the moderators move on without allowing a rebuttal.
 
End the revolving door... Clinton is for ending it yadda yadda. She moves on to Sanders criticizing Bill and Obama, says they should be against GW instead ... crowd claps.

Nice move Clinton, your move Sanders.

Sanders cites record fighting Bush, admits supporting Clinton and Obama... moves to criticize the beginning of the end of Wall St regulation during Bill's term and ... some complaint about Obama.

Nice move Sanders, Sec Clinton your response? ... commercial break.
 
Clinton will follow in Obama's footsteps, cites the rights of the Cuban people.

Sanders gets quiet... cough**ignorespastpraiseofCastro**cough ... Moderators interrupt and play old tapes of Sanders praising Castro.

Sanders says the US was wrong to interfere in Cuba and Central America... I agree... but the claps are timid. Brings up Kissinger for a second time.
 
Sanders do you regret your praise of Castro and Ortega (Nicaragua)?

Tries to talk about US intervention wrong ... mod interrupts, you didn't answer the question ... Sanders, bad move, says there was good and bad. He's right but that's not PC. This is Sanders' Achilles heel in Florida in particular but also elsewhere.

Clinton moves in for the kill.

Sanders brings up Puerto Rico's debt crisis. The mods shift uncomfortably. The applause is weak ... the mods move on to abortion and SCOTUS.
 
Your move Clinton ... Bush V Gore, SCOTUS is critical ... good move.

Sanders? Sorry, commercial break.
 
Last words...

Clinton gets friendly toward personal stories, talks kids, education, health care, talks common ground and standing her ground.

Sanders agrees debate was good, reverts back to his one issue campaign speech complaining he didn't have time to address important (his) issues, yet he repeats them now in a couple sentences.

Applause is good for both.

No, I'm talking about when they were bickering about who voted for what bill. Unless I bother to look through the entire bill myself, I wouldn't know the totality of what they were talking about anyway. Even then, the translation from legalese will tend to bore me to tears.

I think you have to consider upon which principles were the candidates unable to compromise. Sanders let's single issues he is opposed to prevent him from voting for other issues he supports. Clinton has a record of more compromises.

And you have to look at their respective broader records.
