I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

The DNC will do... something? if they are all on stage at the same time, since then it's a debate, and the DNC said they can't do any debates other than the officially DNC sanctioned ones

Oh for sure the DNC is at fault for the terrible format. Fuckers.

At least Bernie is getting in a few new jabs here.

Honestly this format is a lot easier to follow. It'd be more interesting to have all the candidates there together, but at least this way you can hear the entire answer.

It also provides a better avenue for follow up.

On the other hand, it's just generally less of a clusterfuck compared to whatever the Republicans would do.

yeah I like it! Seems like a good format to supplement to the regular debates, and scheduled at a good time (not friday night, that sucks, but this month I mean, at this stage of primary campaigns). I guess it's similar to the meet-and-greet or whatever the republicans did but that was completely stupid and worthless, there were so many candidates and it was before any real debates even happened.

Huge downside in my opinion is it's essentially just ad time.

Rachel Maddow is one smart lady, but these people are too prepared to be flustered by just the moderator.

I agree, I'm liking this too, it could never replace the debates but it's nice to actually hear the candidates talk for longer than 60 seconds at a time. I wouldn't mind having another, especially since the DNC is dead set on not expanding the debate schedule

Oh another bad part is you can only watch the person you wanted to see have their segment, then stop watching. This is a really bad format even if it seems less "gotcha" or whatever.

I aggree with Hillary that there should be the possibility that maybe there should be considered the discussion about potentially using the death penalty.

Hillary is so good at making these broad general references to nebulous topics like discrimination or whatever without invoking any kind of specific proposals besides "we'll take a hard look at it" and its kind of nauseating really

It's ironic that Rachel asked that vp question, because I recall her (maddow) being on another talk show, I think Trevor Noah, and he asked her who she would vote for if she had to vote for a gop candidate. Maddow refused to pick someone.

She even mentioned that the one she endorses gets hurt. She could have followed it with, "So definitely Donald Trump *WINK*."

I think she was ready to do that but then decided that no publicity is ever bad publicity for him, which idk I think is probably true. Naming Rubio and rattling off a few words about immigration, as someone suggested, was probably the best strategy there imo.
