[joshcryer]

1. Sanders takes a huge lead already.

[NowSam]

I think he is winning. Tide has turned. Bernie is going to be president.

[liberalnarb]

3. Sure hope you're right, Sam

[dchill]

4. Bernie's style is really working for him tonight!

[pangaia]

5. Bobblehead. bobblehead. bobblehesd....

[Gregorian]

6. Sanders coming across as presidential, with specific and on target answers.

Hillary recites programmed material.

[dchill]

10. That's how I see it.

I like when he says "President Sanders."

[NowSam]

7. "How do we have so much money for war...

...and can't have clean water in Flint." WOW.

[pangaia]

8. More bobblehead.. bobblehead... yes yes yes... ypu yup.....

[liberalnarb]

9. Under a Sanders administration, there will be no more Flints

[appalachiablue]

11. Bernie's major win on who should operate water & utility systems- the Govt. not corps/WS.

Same with his answer to Q. would he fire the head of the EPA. A. Affirm., 'for those most responsible'.

[dana_b]

12. they both pretty much want the same things - that's good n/t

[liberalnarb]

14. Damn good. Its obvious which party will help the people of Flint.

[dana_b]

13. the Children's Defense Fund wasn't so happy with her...

just sayin'!!

[pangaia]

15. NAAAAFTAAA!!

[restorefreedom]

16. ouch! nt

[dana_b]

17. Lol!! Discovered religion!!!

I love it...

she is giving him a look of death

[laruemtt]

18. the look on her face as

Bernie talks about NAFTA - if looks could kill!

[Gregorian]

19. Bernie's shredding her on trade agreements. Let's see her programmed response...

[nc4bo]

20. Auto bailout. She mad.

[Gregorian]

21. Bernie's going for the jugular

[dana_b]

22. I'm glad he voted against it

the Auto/WS bailout

[xloadiex]

35. Evidently he didn't

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511429419

[DCBob]

73. He voted against the original bailout bill that preceded that bill.

I guess it took him longer to figure it out.

[Gregorian]

23. She's going to have a hard time being like Bernie now.

[tarheelsunc]

24. "Excuse me, I'm talking". Keep up the "presidential" tone, Bernie. eom

[laruemtt]

25. That voice - Hillary the Harpie n/t

[intheflow]

31. Keep it classy.

They are both impassioned. I am not a Clinton fan by any means, but calling her a harpie is sexist. There's more than enough info to discredit her, you don't need to attack her person.

[Matariki]

40. +1

[intheflow]

26. Clinton gets booed when she says she'll release her speeches when other people release theirs!

[Bjornsdotter]

29. I heard that!

[Mr. Sparkle]

27. This is fantastic ...

I'm lov'in this debate.

[dinkytron]

38. Best ever... truth to power, baby!!!!!

[Qutzupalotl]

33. My favorite moment.

She had no response.

[NJCher]

34. that was funny

Half the fun, though, was the gesture that accompanied it. Bernie threw his hands out and up: "here ya' go! Here's all of it!" (all of his transcripts)

So funny.

Poor Clinton. All she can do is purse her lips and nod. Bobble, bobble, bobble. Come on: I expect a better response from somebody who thinks she rates $153 million in speaking fees.


Cher

[Fawke Em]

50. She always seems to laugh at the most inopportune moments.

Like when she was talking about killing Qaddafi.

[metroins]

30. Not a big fan

Of non policy discussion

[slipslidingaway]

43. +1000 nt

[WiffenPoof]

58. EXACTLY!!!!!

[DCBob]

36. Hillary won the debate with the auto bailout exchange.

That's Michigan's biggest issue.

[nc4bo]

42. You're leaving droppings everywhere Bob. Nice OP, btw.nt

[DCBob]

55. Feel free to scoop them up at your pleasure.

[nc4bo]

59. I avoid and warn others. nt

[DCBob]

60. LOL.. I didnt reallize I was that dangerous!

I feel honored!

[nc4bo]

61. You're cute, not completely disagreeable no matter what they say about you.

[DCBob]

62. People are talking about me??

Oh dear.. that must be boring!

[Fawke Em]

52. You mean when she lied about his record?

[DCBob]

56. He voted against the original bailout bill that included auto bailout provisions.

correct?

[Fawke Em]

65. See Post 35 eom

[DCBob]

75. I guess it took Bernie a bit longer to figure out it was good.

Good for him!

[amborin]

37. If we had had universal health care, maybe GM would not have gone bankrupt in the 1st place

Every year the cost of retired workers' health care diverted billions of dollars from developing new models and added $1,400 to the cost of each car compared with those made in Asian and European transplants.

http://www.economist.com/node/13782942

there were a LOT of reasons for GM's bankruptcy, not least the foreign transplants in the non-union southern right to work states.

But having to pay employee and pensioner health care was certainly a huge reason

[laruemtt]

41. This!

[slipslidingaway]

46. HC is personally our biggest expense. nt

[Land of Enchantment]

39. Are we seeing a 'I feel Your Pain' moment?nt

[nc4bo]

44. Didn't Hillary have a fundraiser a few days ago connected to the NRA?! Hypocrite Hillary? Nt

[slipslidingaway]

45. All those people who have had their children killed or maimed by cluster bombs ...

should be suing the US manufacturers of those products.

Does Clinton support those lawsuits?

[intheflow]

49. I see a lot of people nodded when he speaks.

He's speaking what they know, he's speaking to their experience. Hillary less so.

[pangaia]

67. A lot of Hillary nods when he speaks.. bobble bobble bobble..

She can not control it...

[onecaliberal]

51. Could she be any more condescending?

[Fawke Em]

64. Yes, she can.

[onecaliberal]

66. It's sickening.

[RKP5637]

54. They are so much better than the republicans it's astonishing. The republicans deal in dirt. n/t

[onecaliberal]

57. It's disingenuous to talk about getting your facts straight when every other thing

You say is a lie.

[intheflow]

63. The 1990s was a bubble economy.

Built on predatory housing lending, unsustainable trade agreements, and deregulation. It was great as it was unfolding, but the historical record doesn't look at it favorably.

[Fawke Em]

68. Debate poll at Univ. of Michigan - Flint

[kgnu_fan]

69. of course!

[Rebkeh]

71. !!

[nc4bo]

70. HRC: Fracking good under certain circumstances. ....blech. Nt

[Fawke Em]

72. Ugh...

She is the Fracking Queen, sold it worldwide, what does that mean?
Fracking Queen, feel the rumble under the Earth of green.

(Sing to ABBA's "Dancing Queen." )

[MSMITH33156]

74. Anderson Cooper is awful

Keeps cutting off candidates instead of letting them finish their points. No one is here for you Anderson.

No one is abusing their speaking time, both are getting equal time. Just let them finish.

[bettyellen]

76. Hey guys! How is this thread?

[Bayard]

77. I ended up streaming this thru the Young Turks site

And found their comments during the debate pretty annoying when you can't hear what the candidate is saying.

However, their comments after the debate gave food for thought......that Bernie is not as prepared/practiced as he should be. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I love his honesty and impassioned focus on the issues, even if it comes across as unscripted. I just wonder how much Hillary's practiced polish comes across as more "presidential" to some people.

[Bucky]

78. NO

I'm agin it
