Don't miss the debate tonight!

CNN is reporting that Hillary will be changing her tactics with with regard to Bernie Sanders and that she will be "sharpening the contrasts" between the two candidates. I translate that into the fact that she is going to finally go negative on Sanders.

Among other things Hillary is reportedly going criticize Sanders for all of the negative comments he has made against President Obama. (In my view it is about time she comes out swinging on this issue. I am tired of it myself and the black populations in the upcoming primaries need to know Sanders has been overly critical of the first black President.) Surely she is going to point out that almost all of the black leaders are backing her.

It has long been said that Hillary is at her best when she assumes the position of the underdog and despite the fact that the upcoming primaries look good for her, I'm sure that Sanders taking "victory laps" after New Hampshire has put her in a feisty mood.

Go get em Hillary!!! Bernie thinks the "kitchen sink" is coming his way - he hasn't a clue what a fired up Hillary can bring.

1. As long as what she says is TRUE and not some made up lies, that's fine.

The things that bother ME is when any candidate just makes stuff up about another candidate. That INCLDES partial stories that distort the truth. The Pugs are doing that shit all the time, and I do't want to see either Dem doing it too!

4. Like Sanders' implied endorsements?

Did that upset you? Honest question.

[napi21]

7. Yes, I guess you could look at that case that way.

Look, I'm a Bernie supporter, but I will call out any candidate, including him, if I think what they've done or said dishonest things about another.

8. Thank you for your most civil

and honest answer.

2. Does this one air on PBS?

[yallerdawg]

6. It's on PBS and CNN!

Everyone in America can watch this one!

Uh-oh. "American Idol" is on.

[CajunBlazer]

9. Really, I didn't know that anyone watches American Idol anymore

Is that show still on? Honest question.

[yallerdawg]

10. It's the final season!

I wouldn't be surprised if "American Idol" fans knew what PBS was!

[CajunBlazer]

11. Well the debate is also on CNN

And I expect even the two or three remaining American Idol fans have head of CNN.

[yallerdawg]

12. 9.6 million "American Idol" viewers last night!

CNN and PBS would both combined crap all over themselves for equal ratings!

MSNBC's feisty debate between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton received high marks from political observers, but not high ratings from ordinary viewers.

With 4.5 million viewers, it was the lowest-rated debate of the 2016 election cycle by far, according to Nielsen data.

The prior low was 7.8 million viewers for ABC's Democratic debate on the Saturday night before Christmas.

13. That's not really bad news

Think about it - most of the Democrats in Nevada, South Carolina and the 11 SEC primary states including the big delegate states of Texas and Georgia are just stating to think about the primaries and Hillary already has huge leads in each. If they never hear another word Sanders says, he loses big in every one those states big time. He has to get his message of freebees for everyone out.

If most people don't hear his spiel directly, they probably won't hear it on most news reports. All they will hear is that Hillary waxed his butt in the debate.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

[yallerdawg]

14. Absolutely!

These debates - especially the repetitive performance by Senator Sanders (I-VT) - are in effect reruns.

Never good for ratings.

But - these are still the most watched debates in the history of televised debates, so...are you watching "Survivor"?

[CajunBlazer]

15. I NEVER watch survivor - made for TV "Reality"

[BainsBane]

3. Looks like it streams online

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/watch-live-pbs-newshour-democratic-primary-debate/

It may not be broadcasted on television. If so, that won't help viewership.

5. CNN and MSNBC would collapse

knowing they couldn't air it and offer their pearls of wisdom after (and during. Lol).

What would Rachel do with her time? She couldn't have Sanders on again. He'd be at the debate.
