[RINO Tom]

Lol at these Republucans whining about this debate. As opposed to the faux debate reality show that is the GOP?

... Yes.  It is way more interesting.

This is just a debate about who cares about poor people and the middle class MORE.

LOL, they're all Democrats, they're all going to support policies that help the millions who get them elected.  We get it.

[Lyin' Steve]

And into the trash Webb goes.

Did he say he would or wouldn't have a problem with illegals having healthcare? I couldn't understand him.

He would not have a problem.

He said he wouldn't have a problem with it and went on to explain that his wife was an undocumented immigrant who fled a war-torn country and who had to get health care at refugee camps.  It was a good answer but he didn't get to tie it all together at the end because Anderson Cooper kept interrupting him.

This debate reminds me why I have totally cut my ties to the Pub party. We want it all, and we want it now, and the rich and financiers can pay for it all. It's just so simple really.

And the candidates agree mostly on everything, so none of the well, yes, but, stuff, gets aired at all. And Anderson Cooper is not a policy wonk, or has done much homework on that apparently, as opposed to who said what in the past to whom.

What on Earth?

Pretty sure the first paragraph was fairly thick sarcasm.  

[Pyro]

Hillary comes in with strong support for the Patriot Act. Up to Sanders now.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I agree with most of what Sanders says about the NSA and the Patriot Act

Ooh Snowden

Wonder what Sanders will say

[Crumpets]

Make sure that tin foil hat isn't too snug there, Bernie.

I need to lay off the wine.  (There was a CUBS game tonight, Atlas nerds!)

Hillary comes in with strong support for the Patriot Act. Up to Sanders now.

Of course she supports it. She wants as much government power as possible. At least Sanders values SOME liberty.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Clinton - I LOVE THE PATRIOT ACT

CLINTON - SNOWDEN IS A TRAIIIIIIIIITOR

FF for Sanders on Snowden

Anyway, O'Malley pronounces Putin "Pyutin". HP

[Pyro]

Just in: Clinton's favorite book is '1984'

Haha, except when it comes to economic liberty over money you've earned ... that belongs to poorer people.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Hillary gives predictably terrible answers on national security questions.

I said some, not all.

Big HP, that's so annoying

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Cooper needs to STFU seriously...

Oh, I know; I was agreeing with you.  I guess it didn't read as such over the internet, haha.

Clinton: I wouldn't be a third term because I don't have a penis
