[Crumpets]

[Wells]

O'Malley advertizing his website again.

[Pyro]

"It's on my website, MartinOMalley.com. Visit today! Please help, I'm dyin' here!"

God, I thought these kinds of questions were for the Republican debates...

[Pyro]

*Mass killings, starvation, poverty, low wages, reckless greed*

"So, Ms. Clinton. What ever will Bill do if not arrange flowers?"

"So, Ms. Clinton. What ever will Bill do if not arrange flowers?"

That's clearly much more important than whether her policies have created ISIS.

When is this over?

[Penelope]

Actually a very satisfying answer from O'Malley from such a softball question.

At least they asked the question to more than just Clinton. It definitely was a question directed towards her, but at least they gave the other candidates a chance to respond as well.

When is this over?

My program guide says it ends at eleven, and the networks seem generally to be more conscientious in finishing on time than the cable channels, given their different business models. However, as I said earlier, I think they only scheduled it for all of primetime so they'd have wiggle-room regarding when to end.

[Wells]

It's ending already?

"Thank you, goodnight, and May the Force Be With You™" - Hillary Rodham Clinton

[Wells]

Clinton just made a Star Wars reference!
"May the force be with you."
                                  - Hillary Clinton, 2016

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

That was the only time Hillary was ever likeable and I hate Star Wars. Take it in.

"Thank you, goodnight, and May the Force Be With You™" - Hillary Rodham Clinton

We're never going to get any sequels. Director DWS stops the debate series at episode 6.

[Mr. Morden]

[Ebsy]

Not O'Malley.

[Suburbia]

It was a good debate. It was a tie between O'Malley and Clinton.

[bagelman]

The democrats as a whole were very successful during this debate for portraying themselves as the party of calm, reasonable, and rational people contrasting with the gloom and doom Republicans.

I only watched the first half, but yeah. Complete contrast to the embarrassment that is the Republican primary.

O'malley was terrible are you insane?! You are probably the same people who think he will go up in the polls after the debate.

[Tender Branson]

Didn't watch it.

What happened ? Anything interesting ?

Didn't watch it.

Clinton miscalculated how long it would take her to go to the bathroom and missed her entrance after a commercial break. O'Malley thought he was an actual candidate for a second but later realized his mistake. Sanders apologized for the data stuff at the start, in case you were wondering how long it would take.
