Last week's debate was good, but this one is boring. Changing the channel.

Hillary Clinton doing bad IMO - hasn't added anything substantive so far & is playing the Obama card time & again. Obama this & Obama that.

She needs to be direct & give her own direct answers. Maybe I'm the only one who does not like constantly hugging Obama

It would be great if the site crashed at 3:30 in the morning and not in the middle of these debates and election results.

He's quite right.  What he said is that about the same number of black as white people "do marijuana"  Okay, he used the Big Lebowski language, which is soooooo 1983.  Nowadays we would say "smoke weed" instead of "do marijuana."  Sure, he's an old guy, but it's true:

About 48% of white people claim to have ever smoked weed, compared to about 43% of black people.  About 14% of black people claim to have done it in the past 12 months, compared to about 12% of white people.  Roughly equal numbers.  (within 15% of one another in both counts)

The second part is also true.  He also said, "...but the arrest rate is about four times as high among blacks as among whites..."  In fact, the arrest rates per 100 thousand residents for marijuana use is over 700 annually for black people and a little less than 200 annually for white people.  

It's an accurate characterization.

Good answer on Sanders on poor whites. Clinton is good with specifics but Sanders is showing he thinks systemically.

Is it just me, or does Clinton seem like the underdog during this debate?

I am loving Hillary, she is like a classic Wrestling heel - A big negative & I don't think this will help her but I love the negative vibe I am getting & she seems really strong

Not sure about Bernie saying he'd be better for African-Americans than Obama...

Bernie saying he's against Obama's immigration executive order? Does he know what that is?

And why is he against the DREAM Act?

And he was against Obama on unemployment, saying he hasn't done enough for blacks and is fudging the numbers? And that Obama is wrong on infrastructure?

Why does Sanders think criticizing Obama is a good strategy?


I also don't know why Bernie is so dependent states-rights on getting his healthcare and education reforms done. He still has nothing to respond to that.

Clinton's strategy seems to be : Keep on saying how great Obama so the AA vote goes her way.  She want to knock out Sanders in the South where the AA vote dominate the Dem primary.

Why does Hillary keep saying "they" when she refers to women in general?

Understandable. The white working class are abandoning her so that's her best hope.

Sanders is completely pulling Clinton to the left. Even Hillary is saying I am looking at expanding Social Security.

This was the person who was pressurized to say she won't cut. Wow just wow, full change!

Sanders hitting Clinton on opposing Obama's '08 Social Security platform is very smart.
