This definitely feels like it would make or break Sanders (probably the latter). Bye bye Bernie. :smith:

Asking the candidates to debate about the Paris attacks before they have all the information about those attacks creates a big problem for their campaigns.

It's good preparation for one aspect of being the President, though.

I'm frankly disappointed that Bernie is still so broad strokes about all the issues. Foreign policy, sure, but he's running on the economy, he or the people working for him should have had numbers ready.

Because his campaign isn't about becoming President or implementing specific tax plans, it's about pushing policy in his direction.

Did he tell this to his most outspoken supporters? :v:

International students aren't even Americans, why should they be taking our public education spots

International students are a cash-cow for universities. Universities would need more funding if they couldn't admit international students and charge them exorbitantly.

@realDonaldTrump 7m7 minutes ago

Hillary and Sanders are not doing well, but what is the failed former Mayor of Baltimore doing on that stage? O'Malley is a clown.

That's really weak for Trump. "Oh, he called me a clown? No, I'll call him a clown!" :smuggo:

Bernie's answer here a perfect example of "Senatoritis" in debates. Nobody cares about your "crisis" as a committee chairman.

Yeah, it's way too inside baseball for a general audience.

No, make employers provide it to college grads.

Absolutely force employers to provide on-the-job training, they need to stop asking for public/nonprofit money to pay for highly specialized and in many cases non-translatable training.

My industry I'm going into requires a college degree then 17 months of training and regulations before I get to actually work (I'm still paid during the 17 months too)

I'd be fine with that for more jobs lol

That's fine, the problem is when they go to colleges and say "hey, if you tailor this program to our needs we can totally employ your grads", then these grads come out and the company doesn't need as many people, so they can pay lower wages to the ones they get and then the rest are highly specialized for a position that is not available. This is different from having a more general degree that could make you adaptable to a variety of employers and situation.
