I'm Canadian, but tuned in for this. I hope you guys end up with Sanders, he really seems like an honest guy with a very good plan, whereas Hilary just feels like a snake.

Agreed. I differ from most here as a Hillary supporter, but this was a solid debate. Both candidates had good and bad moments but importantly actual issues were discussed. Should something odd happen and Sanders win, Bernie's performance tonight gives me more reasons I would happily support him.

I personally think no candidate should ever go unprimaried no matter how good they did. I mean look how Bernie doing this made Hillary changed her narrative on a lot of things.

Have you never experienced anyone going "Oh sweetie honey I know how terrible this must be for you" because that's pretty much what Hillary did in her closing statements after ignoring Wisconsin all night, even in questions that were pretty clearly about Wisconsin's problems in specific (segregration, incarceration, unions), other than to take digs at Scott Walker and Bernie in the same sentence

Okay. Sorry she trashed your governor in a way you didn't like, rather than in the context of Wisconsin-specific problems like segregation, mass incarceration, and the degradation of unions.

Well, using your closing statement to basically go "how dare you not toe the party line" isn't usually indicative of a strong position. It's also one of those remarks that the other side can easily hook on to smack at her.

But I'd really have to give some real thought to my vote if Sanders won. I'm not sure I can vote for a man who would empower Iran while simultaneously failing to adequately regulate Wall Street.

I don't really know why Bernie's doing so much better tonight. Was he doubting himself until NH? Is the format helping him? :iiam:

It was detailed a few days before the first debate; he isn't memorizing anything (besides speech stuff he already knows, hence all the financial plank repetition) and doesn't use a Hillary standin for debate shadowboxing. He's basically learning and adapting as he goes along, which is why he's getting way better at recovery and answering surprise questions than Hillary.

It's extra hilarious when remembering all the smug "heh heh still want more debates Sanders???" Posts after the first.

The former

Speaking hypothetically, the latter is good for ensuring candidate strength and preparedness. If Carter had been primaried, for instance, then I think Carter vs Reagan would have turned out differently

I was part of the 2011 protests against Walker that occupied the state capitol. I hosted several OWS organizers and protestors who were traveling the country and stopped in Madison before going on to NYC. Tonight is the first time that Hillary has spoken directly on the issue -- as far as I know -- and she saved it until the very end when she needed to make an impression on the Wisconsinite audience and directly attacked Walker on the issues. While I appreciate the condemnation of Walker, I can't help but see it as opportunistic and self-serving. Where was this support five years ago?

Like the first thing she said was an attack on Walker, it might have actually been in her opening remarks. She also went after Walker in her response to Bernies college proposal. I could be conflating those two.
