No. He had one chance to actually get widespread coverage, and he blew it. Oh come on, I really think you're being really rough on him. It was his first debate and his dog ate his homework.

rscott posted:CNN literally had an old dude on TV say, "maybe this country needs a little socialism" if that isn't moving the Overton window I'm not sure what is. It's only the first debate and Bernie has a pretty good record so far of improving his delivery and conceptualizing his platform. the top article on vox is about socialism. theres a big article about democratic socialism on wapo. even if he doesnt win he is very successfully pushing discourse left. hes absolutely the most successful American socialist politician since Debs at this point, even if his socialism is more akin to the New Deal or Share The Wealth than Debs. hell, even hillary had to walk around the socialism/capitalism question carefully. at this point i bet a substantial portion of democrats would describe themselves as socialists.

Does anyone here actually believe any of the candidates on the right have a shot at winning? Against Hillary? Against Bernie? loving mittens was more impressive than this lot. edit: Probably the wrong thread but the question of electability keeps coming up post debate.

Honestly, Trump is their only hope, and I honestly think he has a glass jaw and will evaporate before a less friendly crowd. The dude cannot take a joke and will not react well to being burned by a genuine rival.

No. Thankfully I am convinced no Republican has a shot at being president. Either Clinton will win it, or her unfavorables will lead to Bernie winning.

Dad is a bandwagon Republican, doesn't follow politics, will always vote R and Obama/Hillary ruined the world. He just knows Trump is his man because that is who is winning right now. He also moved to the border of Mexico in Texas and complains that too many people don't speak English in America. Yeah. Philthy has issued a correction as of 15:44 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Philthy posted:He already has. The funny part is that the Republicans on both sides of the split will never, ever leave to form their own anything because of the big base of people who will vote straight ticket -R no matter what, all the time, at every election. If they stop being -R they are toast, so instead they're sticking around poisoning everything. That "I will vote Republican no matter what" is an attitude they're aware of and your dad is doing a lot of damage to the party right now.

I really wish ballots didn't have party affiliation on them and/or that no states did straight ticket voting.

Where's mr. his body language and tone ruined his chances now, I honestly don't get why goons were so cynical about him appearing passionate on the issues rather than plastically smiling with slow deliberate speech. Historically haven't americans been pretty big fans of the gogetters, even to a fault?

Pundits aren't allowed to evaluate the debates on the candidate's policy because thats bias, so they focus on more 'objective' things like relative charisma.

part of the reason the punditry was leaning so hard on hillary "winning" was that their narrative beforehand was that she was in a tailspin for some reason. everythings going to be about hillary because the pundit class is obsessed with hillary and what is hillary doing and what do the tealeaves say about hillarys chances. theyre stupid fuckers, one and all.
