That was a good debate y'all.

For everyone remarking about how much better this is than the Republican debates: there is no way you could have this sort of questioning with 7+ people on the stage. There just isn't enough time.

Yeah they just bounce from crazy person to crazy person, there's barely time for a single take on an issue.

O'Malley could quadruple his support if he just answered every question with a quote from The Wire

I think that's an issue with making trade school better than college being good at teaching trade skills

No, gently caress trade school, make all colleges provide trade school and you'll get the best of both worlds.

I feel like this debate changes nothing. O'Malley goes up 1-2 points, maybe makes a couple of "small" dollars. Hillary and Bernie maintain their appeal to their supporters and their polling stays the same.

Millions, because it's free, and better, and most people got a tv made since like 2005

I'm going to write a coming-of-age novel set during this debate wherein a goon comes to terms with the realization that he was never really in love with Bernie Sanders, he was in love with the idea of Bernie Sanders.

I had a "free" college education (meaning, my parents paid for my cheapish tuition/rent/books). Flunked out. On my own dime? 3.5 GPA.

Welp, guess since it didn't work for this guy, nobody should get a free college education

3.5 GPA doesn't seem so good.

I really hoped Bernie would be more substantial. It hurts me to say this but I think he's loving done, a lot of people are gonna write him off as a guy who means well but has no realistic way to get these things done

A vote for Bernie or O'Malley is a vote against Hillary, as far as anyone can tell.

What was the first ever primary debate? Google isn't giving me anything.

In 1948 Republican candidates Thomas Dewey and Harold Stassen held a radio debate during the nomination process. The Democrats did the same in 1956 with a debate between Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver.

I think Clinton won the debate because nothing significant happened.

Sanders sucked horribly for the first 30 minutes of the debate. Additionally Clinton established that he's attacking her character and integrity and Sanders is going to have that hanging over his head now for a while.

Twitter is being watched. CBSN has a secret system: a machine that spies on your feed every hour of every day. I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect political opinions, but it sees everything. Terrible tweets involving ordinary people, people like you. Tweets the media considered irrelevant. They wouldn't act, so I decided I would.
