Brief synopsis of last night's debate

That was, as the Donald would say, a very low-energy affair.
That's true. No one attacked the moderator or made sexiest remarks about other candidates. They just talked about issues, how boring, no comparison to the episode 1 and 2 of the new GOP reality show.
 
Chafee, O'Malley and Webb are out
(perhaps Webb would make an excellent Sec. of Defense)
O'Malley......Looks presidential but has no wiggle room between Sanders and Clinton (perhaps an excellent candidate for the Dept. of Energy.)
Chafee's best line (paraphrased): "I didn't leave the GOP, the GOP left me"......
(Very, very true thanks to the Tea Partiers.)

Sanders (feisty Brooklynite and a favorite of the young.....but like Ron Paul perhaps off the mainstream voter bloc who simply does NOT understand the meaning of social democrat)

Clinton (not my favorite candidate) is UNBEATABLE, not only within the Democratic Party's nomination but certainly can beat the daylights out of any of the GOP clown posse.)

Sure, there will be right wingers still desperately calling for her incarceration, but the smarter ones well know that is just wishful thinking. Bottom line: No GOP'er in the WH for another decade.

Don't discount O'Malley. He's been a victorious underdog his entire career. The other two were out before they even announced. They're fucking morons. O'Malley started slow, but he revved up by the end. His strategy was to go in with memorized, scripted speeches. He struggled to remember and found it difficult to weave them into the context of the discussions that unfolded. He changed strategies about a quarter of the way through. He began improvising, firing on offense, and parrying attempted attacks at him. Now that he's had a taste, O'Malley will likely be the shining star of the next debate.

Sanders' entire campaign is based on an insurgency of the masses. His "overthrow the establishment" is the same phenomenon that has garnered Trump attention, but it will be equally failed in the long run. Sanders' surge is now prepared to stall, and his performance in the debate proves that he has reached his plateau. The question is, where will Sanders' support go when the decline begins? It won't rush to Clinton. It'll flow to O'Malley.

Clinton has shown her experience. But her well practiced deflections of substantive issues will not be enough to win over anti-Hillary Democrats. And as O'Malley emerges and shows that he is a more viable candidate than previously thought (due to his comparative obscurity) many of the reluctantly-Hillary voters will be eager for a fresh face.
O'Malley stands somewhere between 0 and 1% in the polls. Sander's is certainly not going to support O'Malley over Clinton. That would be insane. As in most primaries when the leading candidate ranks higher in the polls than all the other candidates combined, the primary becomes about selecting a VP running mate.

Also, well stated.....As a liberal democrat. my problem is that I really don't like Hillary, while fully realizing that Sanders....for all his current populist message.....is still a long shot; so, I would agree that if Sanders would eventually pull out, where will his support go (I'm sure he'll encourage his followers to back Hillary, but I'm really not too comfortable with that.........)....So. right now, I'm uncommitted.


NOTE TO RIGHT WINGERS......You may notice how a civil debate is conducted among us left-leaning voters.....

Meanwhile the highlight of the last republican debate was Fiorina throwing feces at Trump :rofl:
 
100% sham.

The ultimate Democrat Party presidential candidate for 2016 is not yet even vaguely in the picture.

George Soros hasn't told them yet who will ride the White Horse (Obama has guaranteed no more black anythings for 150 years) down the center aisle.

Ah words of wisdom from one of our resident morons. Thanks, Henry. We'll be dismissing that nonsense now.

They are all socialists, boring as hell and old.
Re hashing same old problems, never really getting anything done and just putting band aids on things.
That is not a civil debate.
What happened to the Dem's being the party of youth during Obama's campaign for 2008?

Hillary is better in person, or was lol. She showed a lot last night.

Please bear in mind she's been the victim of 25 years of hate and phony Pub scandals and propaganda for 25 years, NONE TRUE.

It'll be funny when they win the youth vote again. For the umpteenth consecutive time.

At least they are younger and willing to take on the problems of big government spending.
 
Was that on last night? I had more interesting things to do. I was counting how many drops of water fell from my gutter in a minutes time.


Excellent use of your time and counting may be a great, worthwhile exercise for that half of your brain.
