I'm a bit confused.

The commentary after the debate is propping-up Sanders.

Hillary is clearly fading. Right now, absent someone else in the race of substance, the media has to try to drag Sanders over the line.

Whom else are they going to champion? A Republican?

When it comes to substance, Sanders won the day. He has the goods.

The Republicans can't even champion a Republican. Why would the democrats?

Three, I believe. Overall, they were not very substantial.

Not an exact number, but at one point I seen there was upwards of some 350k viewers on the YouTube stream.

Apparently, the debate ended 7 minutes early.
And O'Malley had to BEG for 10 seconds?

That was painful to watch, but compared to the diatribe and offering of the Republican Clown convention, even the Democrats' O'Malley appeared positively presidential...

Right, but they are 3 questions asked by sanders "demographic" of choice, and are questions that would play to his demographic, which makes for easy "pops"

Kinda like when a bad guy Pro Wrestler insults the local hometown to get "cheap heat"

Poor O'Malley thinking Iowa makes a difference.

"Ron Paul's final victory in Iowa – Mitt Romney won the caucuses, but Paul got most of the delegates – could affect how hard Paul supporters push to get their issues on the agenda at the GOP's national convention.
By Peter Grier, Staff writer June 18, 2012


Washington — Ron Paul won Iowa! At the Iowa GOP convention over the weekend, supporters of the Texas libertarian walked away with 23 of the state’s 28 national convention delegates..."

Unions donations are much, much lower as is their political influence. Union bosses declaring support minus consensus of their entire Union is being widely addressed by the Unions themselves as each member votes for their own leadership and they are actually being brought to task for doing so.

As I will not be voting for any of the three I still watched the show.

There are two candidates who are not taking SPAC money or Corporate money.

All others need to go home. One needs jail time.

Bout fell off the couch when I heard "people to big to jail"

LMAO

I "lean" socialist. Not as most see it, but as a "progressive, layered system" -- that provides very basic needs to every person --- but, also allows "movers & shakers" to do their thing, with reward.

I did one of those online polls. Hillary came out a few points ahead of Bernie. For me -- Hillary is better equipped to deal with politics as it "really is". I think she's "solid steel", Bernie is "tempered steel".

I am not a Democrat. There just isn't anyone I would even consider in the GOP.

That's honorable, but maybe that's just a part of the plan. I feel like the establishment wants to go socialist, he would be the guy to make that happen under the guise of it being 'democratic'.

It's the people that see the benefit of moving in that direction (as if we don't already have plenty of social programs interwoven into the way our country operates), not the establishment. The establishment is bought and paid for, due to unregulated capitalism. They (the establishment) are not going to advocate ripping away from the hand that feeds them. It's going to take the will of the people to do that.

And even Bernie doesn't want to "go socialist", this meme is part of the scare tactic.

This is where we are on completely different ends of the spectrum. You see it as a good thing if the majority push for a new socialistic society.

I see it as a manipulation, mainly via social media with a very clear purpose to promote socialism. And you're right, many many people are buying it hook, line and sinker. I see that as a very bad thing, but I also think the establishment has been pushing this for a long time, now there is no need for it to be subtle, its just blatant in your face now and people love it. It's 'trendy and hip'. Sad, scary, dangerous and very bad imo.

I do believe Hillary is the chosen one.

However the only way Hillary will become President in my opinion is the Powers That Be will have to rig the election.

After watching this debate tonight Bernie came out swinging against Supper Pacts buying the elections.

Hillary is already bought and paid for to continue the same old, same old tow the line to where Obama left off.

Meaning Americans will see no change in anything including Obamacare, endless wars, billions for the Military industrial Complex, no accountability in our Banking or Wall Street, Open Boarders, more illegals, the wealthy not paying their fare share of taxes, more NSA spying and no accountability.

Bernie interests are for We The People and we are sick and tired of no good changes in the United States because the hand full of the 1% control the bought and paid for Presidential candid in these elections who want the same old status quo of controlling all of Washington politics and siting at Congress table to write their own new legislation's that only befit the elite.

This not what Americans wants, do not be surprise that Sanders surpass Hillary in the up coming polls.

But in the end The Powers That Be will steal this election, and hand it to Hillary. Watch and see.

I believe Hillary is chosen too.

But I don't think the time for war is now, I think TPTB are going to inflate the US economy so they can milk it later on.

I did not think they were going to do this before, but now I think they are gonna fatten the hog so to speak...

She is very qualified, but she is part of the world that brought us 2008, just like the entire GOP stage less Mr Squirrel Nest...

She accepts Super-Pac money, I've decided anyone that does will never get my vote.

That is what happens when the media is doing a live interview or event and something hits the airwaves that they don't want the public to know about. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me. People are bent out of shape about what our politicians are doing but the fact is that we don't know exactly what they are doing because of dishonest biased media. I want the bias free media that I was promised dammit!
