Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (& others) finally face off - Polidicks

Just start already jeez.

Let me guess: The candidates will introduce themselves, and then the debate will begin after another short commercial break.

yup. stream is totally boned.

man if only CNN could handle streaming to more than 5 people at a time without shitting itself

The stream on the cnn homepage seems to be working.

It's working for me here: [url]http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/13/politics/democratic-debate-2015-live-updates/index.html?sr=sl101315debatelivestreamsmartlink[/url]

Fox had no problems streaming their debates. :downs:

I mean, at least CNN is trying to stream. I give them a gold star for trying.

I can already tell Im going to fucking hate Hilary. Also Anderson acting Bernie for being a socialist was the worst.

tbh bernie kind of messed up the socialist question.

[QUOTE=patq911;48896926]tbh bernie kind of messed up the socialist question.[/QUOTE] He dropped the ball real hard on that one

[QUOTE=Llamalord;48896903]I can already tell Im going to fucking hate Hilary. Also Anderson acting Bernie for being a socialist was the worst.[/QUOTE] Its what EVERYONE comes back to, because its an easy talking point that people can go all "RAH RAH SOCIALISM" about. Clinton does grate on me though. She is just spitting out more of the same lines we've heard for years

I don't think he dropped the ball at all. He cleared up any misunderstandings over the definition of Democratic Socialism.

[QUOTE=patq911;48896926]tbh bernie kind of messed up the socialist question.[/QUOTE] which is unfortunate because he really needs to explain that bit

Right now I just hope Hillary fucks up. Hillary is the only person that's in Bernie's way.

Bernie doesn't seem to be doing too well on this gun debate

God fuck Hilary leveraging the gun issue and gun stuff lately to make Bernie look worse

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;48896957]Bernie doesn't seem to be doing too well on this gun debate[/QUOTE] I think he won that one. then again I don't agree with tons of gun control.

[QUOTE=patq911;48896964]I think he won that one. then again I don't agree with tons of gun control.[/QUOTE] The audience definitely thinks otherwise, hopefully he'll pick up later.

Crowd seems to be a lot more supportive of Clinton than Sanders. Quite the reality check.

Marty is coming.

I really feel like Cooper is directing more of the advantageous questions towards Clinton, and setting it up so she can come in with power statements.

[QUOTE=paindoc;48896991]I really feel like Cooper is directing more of the advantageous questions towards Clinton, and setting it up so she can come in with power statements.[/QUOTE] Bernie and Clinton agree with each other on a lot of policies, except guns and foreign policy So they're going to ask questions about this to get the debate heated

Who cares if you know a victim of something or they are in the audience, what a shitty way to make a powerful statement

bernie seems to be giving a realistic response about guns while the others are giving best case scenarios that will never happen without a democratic house and senate

Republicans probably respected Bernie more for the gun points he made.

[QUOTE=Monkah;48896981]Crowd seems to be a lot more supportive of Clinton than Sanders. Quite the reality check.[/QUOTE] [quote=Nate Silver]So far, the crowd in Las Vegas seems fairly pro-Clinton, although with considerable pockets of support for Sanders. (And almost no support for the other three candidates on stage.) Not a huge surprise, since Clinton and Sanders are also the top two candidates in the polls - but it still makes what they say sound a lot better to viewers at home. Sometimes, stacking a crowd can also be one of the ways that “the party decides” (or at least influences) the nomination race in favor of establishment-backed candidates. Mitt Romney, for instance, benefited from a loyal audience in his critical debate against Rick Santorum in Arizona in 2012.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Th3applek1d;48897004]Republicans probably respected Bernie more for the gun points he made.[/QUOTE] I couldn't tell where he clearly stood on it, as someone who lives in VA Webb did have a good point and it felt like Bernie backtracked fairly big during the end of that topic.

Hillary sounded so awkward when they pulled away from the boots in Syria response by Sanders
