A dumb racist who need to kill themselves

The accusations of "Hillary plants" in the crowd are ridiculous to me but I think you would have to be deaf not to notice she had the majority of support in the room.

And the majority of questions and speaking time over the next closest person by almost 10%, and almost 50% more than the next closest person it's almost like the DNC and CNN set her up for success or something...

Lincoln Chafee needed a big giant hook to drag him offstage, or a gong, or a bucket of slime, or anything to just make him stop talking. "It was my first day" is not a good excuse for anything.

the really harsh gendered attacks against Hillary.

Gendered attacks? I think the only thing close to a gendered attack was when people eye-rolled at her "I'm a woman" comparison to Obama. Everything else has been about her switching positions with the polls, changing her positions based on her audience, saying anything to get elected and playing up the fact that she was a woman who was a professional and a mother.

I really hated the way she brought it up that she's a woman. I'm super excited for the day we finally see a female POTUS but being a woman isn't a platform nor is it a reason to vote for someone. It made me a little sad too because she could have brought it up in much more constructive ways but it just came across as pandering to me. She is a woman and that has a tangible impact on her experience and her politics, and that's what I personally wanted to hear from her. I don't think the US electorate is ready for that though, and I can't really fault her for going the route she did because it obviously did appeal to lots of people.

"Now they're out of the closet socialists. Soon they'll be out of the closet Marxists."

Something that seems kinda strange to me is if you look at any of the post debate vids of focus groups or any of the post debate online polls people largely seem to think bernie "won", even for the groups that admitted going into the debate they were planning on supporting hilary and yet most of the morning after articles focused on hilary instead. Not trying to throw on a tinfoil hat here but I'm kind curious as to how the writers decided Hilary came off better despite the general public in any measurable way so far supporting the bern. Seems like if you're going to write a morning after opinion piece the focus groups and online polls would be best to go off of, or do they have other sources?

There are two victories in every debate, who won over the public and who hit the targets set out for them before hand. Hillary turned in a strong debate performance, hit her marks, and didn't overly offend anyone outside of this forum. Bernie won the people over but his target was completely owning Hillary which obviously didn't happen.

Bernie wasn't really angling to own Hillary, though? A big part of his campaign when it comes to dealing with opponents is to not attack them, but instead outline his own ideas. Whether that in itself is a good way to do this is up for debate, but since that was his target to begin with, I think he hit the mark there.

Yeah. The issue is that Bernie needs to decisively win these things if he wants to overcome all of Hillary's advantages, ties wont cut it. There's still two debates before Iowa, lets hope he preps a bit more for them. Even then, Hillary needs to flop on her own, if she pulls the same performance as this debate for the rest it could be pretty bad for Bernie.

Hell, I think standing up for her in regards to the email scandal was his form of solidarity. He's said it before, if he doesn't win the nom we should still fight for a continued Democratic presidency.

I was gonna post that Bernie had a great follow-up line to that that was like "yea it was 99 to 1 and I was the one" buuuut it was actually Russ Feingold. Bernie did vote no on that bill but he was in the house at the time.

I thought Hillary won and Bernie did well. He didn't achieve a break-out moment and he may have missed an opportunity to broaden his support. I don't perceive any damage coming from that. I think there is a real danger that if Bernie started to lose momentum he won't be able to gain it back and that'll be the end of his challenge, but I think he managed to avoid that scenario. He achieved the goal of introducing himself to a larger number of voters, but I'm not sure if he managed to articulate the distinction between himself and the rest of the crowd. On banks in particular, Hillary did a very good job of preventing him from moving to her left by framing her plan as being broader and tougher than his.

I think the issue is that Bernie refused to prepare for the debate. He wouldn't do anything but the barest amount of debate prep. Had he done so, he might have been able to more aggressively take her on. Just being smart, righteous, and having a lot of people come to your events doesn't mean you can just roll out of bed and win a debate.

Drop the tin foil hat.

Every single metric that doesn't involve online polls and TV-centric focus groups points to a decent Clinton win/performance and that's really all she needed to do. She exceeded expectations. Bernie came off as non-presidential.

It's hilarious that people are actually bringing up a Luntz Foxnews focus group as evidence that Bernie won the debate.

By what metric did Hilary win though, literally every focus group on every news agency thought bernie won, including loving fox news, and while online polls do tend to favor fringe candidates bernie wrecked those too. Obviously we should wait for the more scientifically robust polls and focus groups before making conclusions but I think there's significantly more evidence suggesting that people thought bernie came across as a passionate populist and hilary came across as a plastic politician. It just seems dumb to keep repeating "hilary won" based off nothing other than a bunch of suit wearing white people clapping at one of Bernie's first major events that exposed him to people who weren't already following his campaign.

I saw at least 3 vids of focus groups from different news agencies and each time they were feeling the bern. Adjectives used to describe him were "strong, sincere, passionate, powerful", goons are being way too cynical about him coming across as an angry old man, he came across as someone who cared.

favor is a pretty underwhelming word for how much online polls favor people like bernie and ron paul (i am not equating the two, but they have significant amounts of millennials/tech users as their base)

seriously tho, i dont really see the problem with the debate, they both did well, hillary was more polished, if bernie was better prepared and had the sort of answers he did later on for early on in the debate. not necessarily rehearsed, but he knew his stance, he could have pulled out a win for sure. he also needs to point out policy differences of his opponent for them, even if he doesn't attack them for it.

"clinton, on record, has done x, or is supported by y. i'd like to hear how she plans on balancing this". question her into a hole. make her embarrass herself without ever attacking her.

Think you need to take out the s there, you linked one poll (though I do appreciate it) and even in the one you linked it was a pretty narrow split in votes between the candidates and largely everyone thought bernie did well too. I'll be interested in seeing more as they come out.

He's never walking that back. He will always be remembered as "Homer Simpson Joins the Navy" dude, or the "grade-school excuser". Add that to his extremely uninspiring mannerisms, and he's even more done for than he was, which was a lot.

I mean, do you really think that someone who's never heard of him is more likely to choose him after this performance? No. He had one chance to actually get widespread coverage, and he blew it.
