CNN Derry, NH Democratic town hall @9pm ET **live commentary thread**

Can't wait for this.  Sanders is walking into a trap with this debate series.  This isn't September.  It's game time and Hillary is HUNGRY

F**k supreme court litmus tests.  Just appoint the best person without politicizing the damn thing.
If we didn't have elections for judges this would be less of an issue because we wouldn't have politician judges in the first place.
I like this answer though.  Sanders mercenary with the attack line, "Can you promise, you warmongering military pawn, that you won't ever send more troops?"  "lol nope"

I can already tell Clinton isn't going to answer this female draft question.

[Lyin' Steve]

Sanders has three attacks on Clinton.  She gave speeches to Goldman Sachs executives.  She takes donations from wall street.  She voted for the Iraq War thirteen years ago.  It must be frustrating for Clinton to hear people criticize her for "going negative" or "going on the attack" and then in the next breath talking about how much they love that Sanders has run a positive campaign, like that woman who was just on CNN five minutes ago.

In other news, I liked Hillary's answer about sneaking out of the White House in a baseball cap.

Facts CAN NOT be attacks. When you make such idiotic decisions, you really have to dim-witted to think that your opponent will not point such mistakes. Obama attacked her, Chaffe did, Web did, O Malley did in 1st debate.

None of those politicians promised to run positive campaigns.  Bernie has.
Pointing out a fact would be saying "Hillary voted for the Iraq War."
Attacking is "When we talk about foreign policy, we need to recognize that it's important to consider the judgment of a leader.  In 2003, I voted against the Iraq War.  Hillary voted for it.  That was a clear lapse in judgment, and I think it reveals fundamental flaws in her character."
or "I do not think it's controversial to point out that someone who took money from Wall Street can never change Wall Street.  When you are a politician who is bought and paid for by Wall Street billionaires, it is impossible for you to bring about real change."
The fact that they're not heavy, blunt and loud like Trump doesn't mean they're not attacks.  It just means they're very well-crafted attacks because they're calm and subtle and don't automatically repulse people.  Bernie is a very skilled politician and has a crack team working for him.
