[riversedge]

I tuned in a 10 minutes late.

[Control-Z]

2. Has it started? (nt)

[riversedge]

8. yup.

[Control-Z]

12. Thanks.

I missed a little but am happily watching now.

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. Rachel is doing a good job.

I wonder if they will all have similar questions.

[workinclasszero]

4. Thanks

For the thread.

[riversedge]

6. I am not too good at this. o'm talked too fast.

[riversedge]

5. I think he avoided some questions

[Evergreen Emerald]

7. I hope this is not too mean

But for some reason, he creeps me out. I cannot put my finger on why.

[riversedge]

9. I think o'm comes on too strong-rather High and mighty lots of times. I have always

thought that.

[northoftheborder]

13. So far, he has come on too strong, but he sure is cute!

Pardon my shallowness, but I love his blue eyes. He would be a better president than any of those nutty clowns in the Rep. circus.

[riversedge]

16. oh, I agree.

[juajen]

106. Same here. We have some goodlookiing democrats

Ok, I took a pole (is that spelled correctly.) We are the prettiest.

[msrizzo]

88. He is sexy but...

I have to imagine a different voice on him.

[mcar]

105. That is exactly what I said to my husband!

[riversedge]

10. "Almost all of Black Lives Matter agenda can be achieved" @MartinOMalley

I recall seeing that list a while back and thought so also (I think I did).

[BootinUp]

17. He was a little slow getting that answer out.

But it was a pretty good answer.

[riversedge]

11. Can't believe om just said his campaign is actually on course Maddow had asked about

his low poll numbers.

[Evergreen Emerald]

14. Wow...he slammed Sanders

While he was supporting Obama, Sanders was looking for someone who would run against him!

[riversedge]

15. oh-seems he had a bit of hit on Sanders-does not want the next 4 yrs for US to

be debating socialism. Well, IMHO--we do not have to worry about that

[BootinUp]

18. Not sure I'm in the mood for Bernie right now, lol.

[Control-Z]

24. I'm not.

I'm finding it quite painful.

[leftofcool]

19. M'OM just burned Bernie!

[riversedge]

27. yes, did. I missed the first 10 minutes. Did he hit on Hillary earlier?

[BootinUp]

36. Yeah he took a swipe or two

I can't remember for sure but I think it was on the pipeline.

[mcar]

20. Love Rachel

I would pay to have her moderate a Republican debate.

[Evergreen Emerald]

22. That would be something to see! n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

21. Sanders is yelling at Rachel!

[riversedge]

25. He always. shouts. Wonder if he has a hearing problem?

[msrizzo]

89. But he always gets a pass on it.

O'Malley was also talking a little loud right at Rachel and leaning in to her. I know, I know. I'm playing the gender card by noticing.

[riversedge]

23. Maddow asking if Sanders if he can get AA in South to vote for him.

Talking of his long history with AA--marching with MLK--then going into his economic plan which is good for AA

[Evergreen Emerald]

28. name dropper! n/t

[Cha]

94. The African Americans I've read online don't like it when BS drops his "marching with MLK" card.

That doesn't work out so well.

[Evergreen Emerald]

26. Sanders talks about how he wants to work with Conyers to invest

but he has been in Congress for decades and has done nothing.

[riversedge]

30. He just talked about Repugs in congress--not believing in science -can't get things

done. but other than starting a revolution he has not said how he would get his big bold agenda done.

[riversedge]

29. crowd seems pleased with bernie

[Control-Z]

31. Is Sanders saying anything new? (nt)

[BootinUp]

32. Here it comes

Rachel asked if he disagrees with Hillary on virturally everything

[Evergreen Emerald]

35. He dodged the question

[BootinUp]

38. Yep. Blamed the media

then went to his standard campaign rhetoric.

[riversedge]

41. He has had lots of talking points tonight.

[Evergreen Emerald]

33. He IS establishment!!

I hate that lie Sanders tells

[riversedge]

37. .@HillaryClinton supporters still in massive numbers at Winthrop!

I want them to clap and be loud! --when she is interviewed.

39. Bernie says he can not walk down the hall without having people tell him to beat up on Hillary.

Well, seems he has Ted Devine doing it last several days.

[Cha]

90. "beat up on Hillary" "kick Hillary in the butt.." WTH? Mr macho man.. real tough talkin'

.. what a boring politician.

[Evergreen Emerald]

40. He's not answering the gun questions

[Cha]

95. But, BS fans said he won.. 'course they said that about the 1st debate, too.. sorry they have no

cred. Trying to rewrite history.

[riversedge]

42. Bernie is going to blow a blood vessel with all his yelling and anger filled comments.

[Evergreen Emerald]

44. He sure does seem angry especially coming right after O'Malley!

[Cha]

96. Do you think that's why his fans think he won? Because he yells the

loudest?

[NurseJackie]

104. His inability to self-modulate would be a liability on the world stage.

He is, and always will be, an angry old coot. At this point in his career, he should have learned the difference between what type of tone is appropriate at a rally, and the type of tone that's appropriate for a debate, and how he needs to be during a one-on-one interview-style forum.

His supporters try to spin his behavior as being "passionate" (as one would expect they'd do) and simultaneously try to spin Hillary's demeanor as "boring" or "fake" or "rehearsed" (again, no surprise there).

Frankly, I'd much prefer a US president who knows how to remain calm and collected when appearing on the world stage and when dealing with other countries' leaders. (See: Benghazi Hearings)

I actually WANT a leader who is fully prepared and knows the facts ("rehearsed&quot and who is calm and confident ("boring&quot and who understands the importance of diplomacy ("fake&quot .

People who see Hillary's qualities as negatives, and who see Bernie's blusterous anger as positives are fooling themselves. This helps to explain the behavior of some of his worst supporters.

Bernie's angry and finger-wagging demeanor may work (?) in Congress, but I fear that he'd be as embarrassing as GWB was when he was out in the real world.

[riversedge]

43. I need a break from him--carry on. Back in a few. Going to get some wine.

[FloridaBlues]

46. Too much shouting. Rachael let him off the hook on most follow up questions too bad.

Don't think he helped his elf tonight just his talking points but louder.

[Control-Z]

45. When will he be done already? (nt)

[Evergreen Emerald]

47. Big welcome!

[riversedge]

48. I am back. Hillary getting GRAND welcome.

[riversedge]

49. I did not know Hillary taught Law. good for her.

[riversedge]

50. Hillary talking about how she has and will work for all people but esp for those left behind.

[riversedge]

52. Hillary gives a big shout out to Pres. Obama. Good for her.

[Cha]

97. What did she say about Prez?

[BootinUp]

51. Crowd is behind her.

[riversedge]

53. Talking of middle ages group dying early. Need to turn this around (also addiction)

[riversedge]

54. Such a welcome of no shouting after listening to Sanders.

[DeepModem Mom]

55. I think Hillary's questions are tougher. We know Rachel supports Bernie.

[riversedge]

58. yes, I have gleamed that from a few things she has said last few months.

[Cha]

98. Yeah, but she could ask equally tough questions and follow up on BS's answers.

[riversedge]

56. 'Kock brotheres are the biggest deck stackers" says Hill

[riversedge]

57. Maddow saying Dems in bed with Tech Industry.

[riversedge]

59. Several times Hillary has talked of need to get folks out to vote.

[Evergreen Emerald]

60. I do believe the questions are harder--but she is actually answering them!

She is not hemming and hawing...she is so smart.

[DeepModem Mom]

64. Yes, she is! Amazing!!!

[Cha]

99. Awesome! to read BS fans.. you'd think Hillary was terrible and BS won. LOL.. yeah I've seen how

they rate Hillary from the 1st debate..

Go to online polling and try to skew the results.

Didn't work though.

[riversedge]

61. Hillary has concerns about removing death penalty for terrorism, racially motiated cases.

[riversedge]

62. Hillary is getting harder --more wide questions than the guys did.

[Cha]

100. Hillary can handle it. that drives them crazy.

[DeepModem Mom]

63. Folks, our gal is awesome! Knows her stuff, gets it done!

[BootinUp]

67. There is no one more qualified for the job. nt

hands of police. whow. she is pained as she talkes.

[FloridaBlues]

68. I did notice she got the hardball questions and she nailed each one!

Very smart woman

71. She was great at dodging the question!

[Walk away]

74. Oh right. She should have yelled loudly that it's the banks fault and Socialism....

will fix everything!

[Evergreen Emerald]

75. I was talking about the Republican VP pick!

[Walk away]

72. Great job Hillary!!!! Her talk about families, children who need help, violence....

the police in schools and her explanation of her stance on the death penalty was straight from the heart and the head.

[riversedge]

103. That was a great little segment. Well done.

[riversedge]

73. Hillary answered the question of deploying troops beautifully.

[irisblue]

76. DOMA ?

she is emphasizing that some of these were private conversations.
asking about Houstons' failure to protect LGBT in a blue area of Tx
"You gotta keep going forward in protecting rights" I liked that

[riversedge]

77. It is the silly season and I am loving the silly questions.

[Evergreen Emerald]

79. She did great!

[DeepModem Mom]

80. LOL!!! "That was a permanent!"

[BootinUp]

78. I'm ready to see her go against the enemy. nt

[riversedge]

83. yes, lets bypass the next few months. or suspend them.

[irisblue]

81. wild card ?

Language- Spanish, lots of us speak Spanish- nice

can't recall 2nd one

Which R candidate would you ask to be your running mate? Her response was none of those candidates.

Hush puppies, eating the food while wearing the shoes

[Walk away]

82. The warm up acts were ok but the main event was excellent! Good job Hillary!!!

[misterhighwasted]

91. Lol. Yup!

Saved the best for the finale'.

[yallerdawg]

84. They were all good!

All left and liberal and progressive.

There is just so much more, so much history, so much gravitas, so much more there there with Hillary.

It is time.

Still Ready for Hillary!

[riversedge]

85. Hillary, in working with Obama has learned the necessity of the use of soft power-and

diplomacy. Not that she did not know that before but I think in working with Obama, diplomacy is more meaningful for her.

[Cha]

102. Thank you for that, rivers!

[riversedge]

86. Sanders is once again bragging about his no vote on Iraq. Tweety letting him rag

on and on.

[Walk away]

87. Tweety is desperate to gin up a semblence of a horse race for the Dem Primary....

He is just trying to push Bernie because he needs the ratings. Rachel, on the other hand, is in the bag for Bernie. She tries to act as if she is an "unbiased liberal" but she just can't pull it off.

[Gothmog]

92. Hillary did a great job
