[I Will Not Be Wrong]

I thought there was one yesterday?

I thought there was one yesterday?

Last night was a forum

[Mike Thick]

I think it's starting.

I'm really hope Maddow brings up Flint in a big way. Especially contrasting Sanders want to remove the governor (have him step down) and Clinton's want to work with the current administration to fix the issues.

Maddow: Finally, we got rid of O'Malley

[The Free North]

This is either going to be incredibly entertaining or incredibly repetitive and boring.


Side note: I find it odd that Sanders and Clinton bag on our unbalanced economy yet at the same time pay lip service to Obama for his handling of the very same...supposedly rigged...unfair...economy.

Chris Mathews is officially IMO the worst new reporter ever. For 1 month he is being doing this, campaigning for Hillary but today he crossed a line.

He asked a Hillary Supporter - Why are Women in NH not feminists? Why are they not voting for Hillary? He made a couple of condescending comments about Bernie & continued to play up Hillary & how every female should vote for Hillary.

How can he make these comments while being a news reporter for MSNBC during the debate?

[Oak Hills]

Hillary doing well so far imo.

Hillary just had a very good comeback on who counts as a progressive.

About how basically no one fits Sanders' definition, including Obama/Biden/Shaheen/Wellstone/etc., but that she doesn't think his votes on guns or how he voted to defeat the Immigration reform bill were progressive, and she'd rather debate issues than labels.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Clinton's best moment so far... something I hoped she'd call Sanders on. He doesn't get to define what a progressive is.

[Illiniwek]

Strong start by Bernie, Hillary with a strong response on who is progressive.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Bernie's unnerved, he's going to his 1% talking points.

[Oak Hills]

I don't understand why one couldn't be a moderate progressive.

[The Other Castro]

Clinton attacking Sanders for quoting her words back to her.

[Pyro]

Sanders looking very weak by not fighting back against Clinton's retorts. Bad idea.

[Gass3268]

Bernie is doing really well, you sense it from the reactions in the room.

[Oak Hills]

I can't be establishment; I'm a woman!

[The Other Castro]

I can't be establishment; I'm a woman!

The sad thing is some people actually believe that.

[Blue3]

Damn, Hillary is on fire, pushing back against Sander's accusations, saying he should tell it directly to her face.




And brings up how Sanders voted to deregulate derivatives in 2000.

Eh. I'm not sure. She definitely won the progressive question. Bernie was stupid to say that. But, she did just get booed so I'm not so sure.

Sure, one can be a moderate progressive like Jerry Brown. Hillary is no progressive.
