Clinton is in the bank's hip pocket... she just referenced Volker (sp?) ...

I HOPE EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

sorry for the caps

It's OK I hope...I went nuts when they put up that Twitter question calling out Hillary for using 9/11.

Apparently the "Nobel Prize economist" Hillary touted has come out in support of Sanders LOL

Did Hillary stack the audience? WTF people are believing what she is saying?


Ahh yeah , just because I'm taking millions from wallstreet it doesn't mean that I will do what they want? Bankers are known for throwing away their money for fun.

No. I don't use any social media whatsoever, except ATS.

Invoking 911 is not a new tactic, but it is usually used by the GOP.

That's very telling, isn't it?

Just tuned into the debate, forgot it was on. Seems like "canned" applause for Hillary.

But I'm for Bernie and on my 4th IPA so it's probably me.

Not new to me. She's a Republican at heart.

Kudos to Sanders on the email situation.

Also, it seems like Clinton is trying to tap in to Sanders' momentum.

I may have missed it... did Hillary actually address the Email query?

No. She pretty much glossed it over and talked about what Sanders originally highlighted.

Anyone else feel like the audience's responses seem to be "stacked"?

thanks... when Hill has spoken tonight, it's been tough to comprehend if she was answering a question or just deflecting...

Not buying the Sanders "Kids get College" deal...

Some of the best folks I know have less than that level of education...

I have no problem with the folks who know reading writing arithmetic...

1+1=2 not 11 just sayin

I pay roughly 25-27% of my income in just Federal taxes. I'd kind of like to get something tangible from that. Having medical coverage in exchange for a bump in my taxes would be nice. It certainly would embed people in politics more, it would make people feel as if their taxes were directly working FOR them.

Hillary pulled the OBL card... weakly, O'Malley responded more naturally....

Sanders responded.. with VA support?

I think that could be doable We need to slow down in the foreign aid and transfer some of that money back home. Cut the waste from other programs created by the receiving Oligopolies that created the wasteful spending legislations via lobbying efforts . Then cut all waste from the oligopolies creating the books and class syllabus which need updated on yearly basis. Stop being the world police and slow down in nation building.

However, that all requires doing away with monetary influences in DC which is unlikely.

Education is a great return on investment as a country. The problem with educated people is that they make lousy consumers and demand to be compensated fairly. Oligopolies like their consumers dumb and cheap as labour.

IMO Education and Healthcare should be two things that a country that calls itself a superpower among leading nations should provide its citizens.

Some of the best products I own are made in Germany...highly educated and skilled workforce. Even those who do not get higher education in Germany are highly skilled at whatever trade they participate.

I think that qualifies as a crisis. Our Vet health care system is horrible and all Americans should be greatly ashamed of it.

I think the Bernie got the most applause.
I guess my question re: a question about the 17th wasn't asked at any of the debates, either side...
Back from CONmercial & we have some Trump Bashing, & it's over.
Sow who won ATS?

a reply to: interupt42

That only works if you believe that our nation's children are relevant ONLY if they have a college education...

University life, experience and education are great, if that's your chosen path in life...

THere's plenty of folks who have forgone that path and succeeded on a lesser education,

I am not a fan of the premise that YOU MUST COMPLETE college to be worthy...

Plenty of folks attend... do they all graduate, do they all succeed?

It should be a very well calculated choice... not a gov't driven RIGHT ...

opinions vary...

Irrelevant, Clinton is the DNC and Establishments candidate. Game over
