[bettyellen]

10. thank you Ellen. I like MOM.

[elleng]

14. GOOD!!

You're welcome.

[Gregorian]

8. O'Malley's a good guy.

There's a lot to like about him. He seems a bit too military happy, but that's just my feeling from what he's said in the debates.

[one_voice]

11. Hillary is right...

The repukes don't talk about the middle class. F-them---(the repukes-)

[still_one]

49. She used the F word?

[one_voice]

59. lol...no. that would be me...

using it.

[still_one]

66. I knew that, I couldn't help myself

[nc4bo]

13. Heehee....here we go with me too.

Moderation is very seriously fucked up.

[longship]

26. Well, I rather like the moderators.

It is not their job to make the candidates comfortable, it is the contrary. I like this panel.

[nc4bo]

39. Not what I'm talking about long.

I'd seriously like to see a timer on some of these responses and how many turns for each candidate.

[longship]

65. Well, I'd rather like the way it is going. This is good shit, no matter who one supports.

That is the measure.

[Hepburn]

15. How nice of Hillary to show up...

...

[Paulie]

21. Guys have it easy with bathroom breaks

They could have ran another commercial.

[demmiblue]

22. Planned. It really doesn't take women that much longer to use the loo.

Edit: unless you are at a concert or a ballgame!

[Paulie]

23. Takes a guy like 37 seconds

Including "washing" hands.

[nc4bo]

28. She arrives with a cute lil giggle.

Come off it Hill. Not cute, quaint nor cool.

[demmiblue]

46. Very off-putting. Didn't she use a potty joke in the first debate?

[nc4bo]

52. I do believe you're correct. nt

[nolabear]

16. "Everybody should." LOL! I like her humor.

[Renew Deal]

17. Question to Hillary: "Should corporate America love Hillary Clinton?" "Everybody should."

Then explains plans on dealing with business and helping small business.

[firebrand80]

18. Everybody Should!

[LittleBlue]

19. Nice dodge, Hillary

Didn't even bother to address the charge that she's the corporate candidate. I'll take that as an admission.

No follow up.

[MoonRiver]

32. She said she would tax them at 30%.

Our taxes would go up under President Clinton and we are fine with that.

[artislife]

41. She really has a lot of words with emptiness attached. nt

[MoonRiver]

73. She's presenting a huge amount of information.

Are you listening???

[Gregorian]

24. Bernie to the rescue! I was just about to throw something at my Hillary screen

[bullwinkle428]

25. "Will corporations love a President Sanders?" "NO, THEY WON'T!"

[ProudToBeLiberal]

27. Everybody should! I think that will be a highlight on the news tomorrow. nt

[Renew Deal]

29. O'Malley: "The rest of the world is moving away from" socialism

[tomm2thumbs]

30. 'GREED' is the one thing Democrat & Republican voters can agree is out of control

It grows, unchecked, and eats the soul of America

[restorefreedom]

31. om....economy is an ecosystem...good. nt

[Renew Deal]

33. O'Malley brings up Hillary's 9/11 answer from previous debate

[ProudToBeLiberal]

34. It was pretty shrewd that Hillary mentioned Market Basket. nt

[elleng]

35. PROMOTE FAIR COMPETITION!!! MO'M

Modern day Glass Steagall!

[Gregorian]

43. He's really right on. He's into democracy.

[elleng]

45. YES!

[longship]

36. O 'Malley! Break up the big banks! nt

[Renew Deal]

37. The debates need general election rules

All candidates get to answer all questions and all respond if attacked. Put the clock on them.

[Renew Deal]

40. Hillary: "I have more donations from students and teachers than Wall St." types

[nolabear]

42. O'Malley, you just dug yourself a hole.

[longship]

44. Oh boy! Hillary on Wall Street. nt

[Robbins]

50. she is so full of it

he rmoney comes mostly from small donors

she is anti-wall street candiate

[ProudToBeLiberal]

47. Hillary Clinton is a great counter puncher. nt

[Hepburn]

48. Oooooooooooh, Bernie is sooooooooo good in this debate! YAY!!!!

[Robbins]

64. when they allow him to speak

and this isn't the clinton show.

[Hepburn]

67. True.

[Kentonio]

51. Ok, O'Malley just got his ass kicked.

He should have known better than trying to be Sanders-lite.

[firebrand80]

55. They can't lay a glove on her

[elleng]

60. WTF???!!!

Holding Wall Street Accountable

https://14d2r744okfe40r1ug1oqm6y-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OMalley-Wall-Street-Reform.pdf

[Kentonio]

84. I'm a Sanders fan

But Hillary just slapped the crap out of him. He shouldnt have gone for her that strongly without a finishing move.

[bullwinkle428]

53. YES! Bernie bringing up his smackdown of Greenspan (great video)!

[nolabear]

54. Nothing new on Wall St. debate.

[longship]

56. The BANKS! A good issue. nt

[elleng]

57. MO'M Holding Wall Street Accountable

https://14d2r744okfe40r1ug1oqm6y-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OMalley-Wall-Street-Reform.pdf

[longship]

[silenttigersong]

61. The Hillary Show

[nc4bo]

80. Only way to know is for someone to time and count. nt

[Hepburn]

62. Gads, that cacking laugh Hillary's...like nails on a chalkboard.

I wish to hell she would stop sounding like a chicken laying a square feathered egg!

[Renew Deal]

68. You made that up.

There was no laugh in the last 10+ minutes. And your comment is sexist.

[Hepburn]

78. If you didn't hear that cackle, then your hearing is worse than mine and...

...I have a signal dog and wear bilateral aids.

[Renew Deal]

86. Keep the insults coming

You haven't had anything else for the last 24 hours

[Hepburn]

88. Telling you you missed her chackled is an insult...boy,

do you have thin skin! You know...bye...

[still_one]

95. WHAT!!!!!!!

in case you aren't aware, I am making a joke

[bettyellen]

85. some post the same BS no matter what is actually happening in RL.

[Renew Deal]

63. Asking Sanders "how much people will have to pay in new taxes" for single payer...

We'll see if there is an answer.

[denem]

72. Will he mention he said they're only 10 votes in the Senate for it

In 2010?

[Renew Deal]

83. Universal care should be a goal for all Democrats

[denem]

93. Bernie on Single Payer in the Senate -

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/sanders-single-payer-never-had-a-chance

10 votes. Only another 50 to go?

[longship]

74. Like every other country in the modern world has? nt

[Renew Deal]

81. Yes?

I don't think he answered it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

69. Moderator needs to shut the hell up on healthcare. Shut up, and listen.

[Hepburn]

70. Suddenly Hillary is gonna kick butt in Wall Street?

Who the hell is she kidding...

[valerief]

71. "Bribing Congress." Thanks, Bernie! nt

[Punkingal]

77. +1

[Kentonio]

75. I'm glad Hillary is so weak on healthcare

I was getting worried there.

[longship]

76. College costs! nt

[longship]

87. O'Malley concurs, apparently. nt

[elleng]

96. O'Malley's PLAN: Making College Debt Free for all Americans

OTHERS concur with HIM.
https://martinomalley.com/policy/make-college-debt-free/

[LuvLoogie]

79. College question guy almost put me to sleep....

Then Bernie started shouting. Thanks Senator. I didn't want to miss this.

[firebrand80]

89. He went after college football

Bad move Senator

[LuvLoogie]

91. I missed that. Really?

Wow. That's pretty grumpy.

[oregonjen]

107. Nope, not a bad move at all

One reason why I won't give to my alma mater is because they spent millions of dollars on a new athletic center that is exclusive to athletes, leaving the rest of the students unable to enjoy a new luxurious facility. Not okay with me at all. That is just one reason, there are many more.

[elleng]

90. MO'M Making College Debt Free for all Americans

https://martinomalley.com/policy/make-college-debt-free/

[bobbobbins01]

92. My rankings so far:

1) Bernie - He has the strongest platform and record and he is hitting all the high notes.
2) Hillary - She's staying afloat even though she's getting attacked quite a bit.
3) O'Malley - I dunno whats going on with him...he's kind of half whining, half fighting and throwing lobs at everyone.

[Hepburn]

98. I had it at the beginning as:

Bernie, MOM, and Hillary...but I think that at this point I do agree that MOM has made mistakes. Bernie, tho , is clearly the winner.

[longship]

94. Oopsie! All the rest of the world has universal health care.

So, Clinton is wrong here.

[Kentonio]

97. Thanks Hillary

Just when I was starting to respect her again, she sells single payer down the river again. I hope she never gets elected for anything again. Disgusting hypocrisy.

[Hepburn]

100. The reason for approx 60% of Chapter 7 BK filings?

People have medical bills they cannot pay. This is wrong. Cure the disease and lose your home and everything else. What a fucking choice.

[Kentonio]

101. Indeed

And for a woman who dedicated so much to the fight for single payer to now completely betray that fight, disgusts me.

[Hepburn]

106. Yep...we are the ONLY industrialized nation in the world that...

...does not provide medical/dental care and supports the DP. Fucked up values? To the max.

[tblue37]

112. That might be part of her problem with it: once burned, twice shy. nt

[demmiblue]

99. Family leave... yes!

[longship]

102. New thread. Keep on keeping on my good friends. Here's the link for the next thread.

[silenttigersong]

103. I think Martin O'Malley

is going to get a debate bump in the polls.

[global1]

104. Did I Hear Hillary Say 'Read My Lips - No New Taxes On The Middle Class'....

Where did I hear that before?

[Renew Deal]

108. More or less

[EndElectoral]

105. Really dislike the op-eds by Stepanapolus, et al during the debate breaks.

At least let us watch the whole debate before you tout your favorites.

[Renew Deal]

109. O'Malley: "I've worked on everything. I accomplished everything. I've done it all."

[Freddie Stubbs]

110. Yes, Baltimore is a shining city on a hill

[longship]

111. Please move to new thread. (Linked above) nt
