2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What are you hoping for in the democratic debate Saturday? [View all]kelliekat44
(7,759 posts)29. I'm hoping they will use the time to address each of the lies told by the GOP tonight AND
remind people about the records under Democrats. Remind people about what a catastrophe we were facing when Obama came into office, remind them how the GOP met to undermine Obama before he was even sworn in, remind people of where we are now (including wages rising, unemployment 5.0, bin Laden dead, consumer confidence up). Remind people that there many problems facing us tell what and how they will address the issues. But most of all point out the disinformation of the GOP candidates and remind the people that the GOP regards their social security as "free stuff."

Um? Answered with a coherent plan. One that does not include 'taking it to the street'.

No. A candidate has to get his or her message out. Not expect people to go research.

Well, where in that plan do our responsibilities as citizens of a republic come into play, then?

That was Obamacare. I want some Bernie legislation not wrapped into another bill. He has nothing.

And Bernie supporters want to ignore his light record, lack of foreign policy, and vote for mass

I agree. I like the forum setting much better than the debate. Much less time trying
