went on and on and on. Does she seem to be over projecting her voice to the audience? It's not my hearing.

9. she actually has less

a little less time - or perhaps the racist anti immigrant commercials threw me off. it does seem they turned up the volume on her self aggrandizing. and she and cuomo are so happy together...

Because she's yelling and flailing her arms at people. I'd rather hear five nails on a chalkboard.

I absolutely can't stand her.

She has gone into way too much detail on several questions. She almost seems like she is trying to run out the clock.

It seemed like when she got on a topic where she got to a place she felt comfortable, she kept going and going. She was trying to lower the risk of getting an uncomfortable subject.

She went really wonkish a couple of times, with excessive details that really did not apply. Even if relevant, they would still cause most people to tune her out. It reminds me of when a teenager volunteers too many details for their cover story. Will be interesting to go back and look at it closely.

I certainly hope someone is clocking this, so we really know, and can document it, that
she's getting way more time, without any commercial break.

I can't wait to count the minutes off the Youtube video tomorrow, to see if their
times were anything remotely related to 'equal', factoring in/out the commercial breaks

Very tepid reception. I noticed a lot of people weren't even applauding. No way does she have a lock on this nomination.

Go Bernie!!

It was strange to me I would hear more applause for Bernie and even MO'M, but audience applause does not seem to have done MO'M as much good as it has Bernie.

I am going to watch this later. You realize that the more people are exposed to Hillary and the more she talks the less they like her right?
