2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSerious question re debate.
I heard Bernie apologize for staffers' actions re VAN. Exact words, "I apologize." I heard Hillary respond. I did not hear her say anything resembling, "I accept your apology." Perhaps I missed something.
I did hear her agree with the call for an independent investigation. Good.

(6,592 posts)My major annoyance with DWS's scheduling right now is that I'm missing a rerun of The Wiz.
And I still say poor MOM reminds me of the stilted guy in the Major League movie Amex "ad." I'd love to be his speech coach, because I like him.
Oh phooey, I'm about to not pay full attention to this one same as I did the last one. Signing out, hopefully.

(15,435 posts)I'm sure this ain't over. It's window dressing right now and t's better this way. Bernie has gotten TONS of support and raised a lot of money. AND Clinton's FB page is really getting nasty! I'm sure the Bernie campaign is well tuned to all of it.
Plus a lot of higher ups have sided with Bernie because "they know" but never had the guts to say it.

(15,435 posts)Rebukes will run with stupid headlines if it looks like chaos. Don't know if all three were involved on the decision, but it wouldn't be fair to drag O'Malley into it. He's a candidate too and if for no other reason I think a decision was made beforehand.
However, I think I heard something about O'Malley giving some sort of statement AFTER the debate. Don't think they called it a rebuttal, but something.
I'm actually not watching it, I can see it later. The networks get me riled up at times and I've been here pretty much all day. Been a member since 2004 so you can see I don't post constantly by my post counts. I've posted more today than I've done in a while.
I am following the Debate Thread though.

(7,820 posts)But I recall a genuine sounding Thank You. I'm a Bernie supporter, and I felt her response was fairly gracious and seemed to want to move on.

(4,205 posts)She definitely wants to move on she is so closely tied to DWS that any of the dirt splashes on her too...Plus Bernie got such a big push out of the extra air time more name recognition and more people will look into it maybe.

(14,230 posts)That's good enough for me. The whole thing went very well, IMO.
