:lol Bloomberg manages to fuck up that softball of a question
Sanders was mostly bad this debate but his misconception answer that it's not radical to implement universal healthcare like the rest of the first world was a great answer. Surprised Bloomberg didn't try to argue he wasn't a Republican in the misconception question.
pete and bernie cant stand to make eye contact even when shaking hands :lol
Always interesting to see which handshakes are awkward/friendly post-debate.
cant think of anybody who came out of this much better than they came in. possibly biden? nobody else stood out much at all. bloomberg did a lot better after another rough start. but if all biden had to do was hold par so he can win SC and get back on track, i think he accomplished that
These other candidates have no red meat to take Bernie to task. They've all sold out too much. :lol
damn Bernies answer clips of the debate are killing twitter :lmao
ma man won this one fellas based on the highlight clips
:lmao look at Bidens face at the end :lmao
gawd damn
Question is, should Amy and Warren stay until Super tuesday and get enbarrassed when they lose their own state?
Bernie is tied with Warren in massachusetts. Amy does have a lead but I dont think she can even pull that off.
Pocohantas singlehandedly trying to kill this debate.
lol chump
he killed the gotcha question
:lol Bloomberg claimed he beat down the other candidates in the last debate?
on fire
Who won?
Tom Steyer Campaign Slogan: I'm A Bigger Cuck Than Bernie
This is your guy, Blake
:lmao
all I know is Bernie ls poll #s wont plummet in SC after tonight
calling it now. he will either gain or steady on
Yeah, people are way overestimating the effect of that Castro exchagne. No one in their right minds was gonna vote for Sanders then changed their minds when they heard that. We're talking about a world where a guy can literally brag about sexually assaulting people and it not slow him down. Democrats are way too concerned with sound bites. If that had been Hilary who said that, she would have backed down, and people would have praised her for it, and she'd've still lost. The most important thing isn't going to be whatever Sanders thought about Cuba decades ago. It's going to be that he sticks to his guns and doesn't let social pressure change him.
Regardless, does anyone really think Trump is going to play "gotcha" cards in a debate? The worst that was going to happen was ads attacking Sanders for it, and those would be there whether he backed down or doubled down. I swear, it's like 2016 never happened in democrats' minds.

Eh, pretty sure Cubans have been a solid GOP voting bloc for a while now. I had a hard time seeing him win, though maybe he gets enough turnout to help down-ballot candidates. Florida just added ex-cons to the voting pool. I don't see that being enough to win the EC votes, but it may have swung the gubernatorial race.
It's not a talking point. He literally described sexual assault in a bragging manner. People didn't really care about the sound bite, ultimately. Democrats cared and thought everyone would agree with them. That's why they dramatically overestimated their chances of winning.
First, it doesn't matter the context of it. He could have been bragging about sexual assault to save a baby's life. "Boys being boys" is context, maybe. But what he actually said was actually and literally sexual assault, and he bragged about it. But second, my greater point was that it doesn't matter. Democrats think catching someone saying something is going to change people's minds. It really won't. People are going to vote for their interests, or at least what they think is their interests. They don't care if a guy talks crassly about women or says a nice thing about Cuba. They only care if they think he'll do what they want him to do.
Nobody talks over Bernie. He talks louder and more than anyone else. His raised arm, jabbing finger, spit drooling diatribes annoy the shit out of me. Did he ever once give any realistic breakdown of how he’s paying for all this free shit without tanking the economy or getting it enacted. As a presidential nominee the undercard is going to be running from him like he’s got Ebola and Coronavirus combined.
I don’t want healthcare and loan forgiveness anymore because Bernie said Castro did some good things despite being an authoritarian despot
Oh I know. The party is awful about trying to be in the middle. Like, you can still compromise on shit even if you have a strong view to the contrary. You don't have to be a weak bitch from jump street to pass laws. If you're the only one compromising, you're just going to end up losing. Turns out, if people wanted to vote for someone conservative, they'll just vote republican instead.

Sexual assault and rape are different things. What he said was actually describing sexual assault. Maybe he'd find that assault okay in a sexually liberal atmosphere, but it still would be sexual assault. You keep making a mountain out of a molehill though. My whole point was that it doesn't matter what someone gets caught saying, and you seem determined to prove that it matters a whole lot.
They think voters pick who to vote for via some mechanical process where each person figures out who they sit closer to on the ideological spectrum thus if they nominate someone who’s barely to the left of the Republican candidate they’ll be able to win all the moderate Republicans and independents despite all the evidence in the world showing that’s not how it works at all.
Yeah, because it turns out that not like Trump doesn't erase the fact that he won. Democrats doing the same ignorant shit that made them lose in 2016 and thinking that it's going to work in 2020 is amazing. No one gives a shit about sound bites. The media will complain about them. Polling will make it seem like a big deal. It won't come out in voting.
Bernie is going to save us from all the greedy corporations.
I'm all up for debates and discussions about shit but I dont like how we as a collective tear each other down a peg because we're not progressive or moderate enough even though we're on the same page probably on 99% of the issues.
That's how Republicans beat us.
All of the most recent elections show that trying to win the swing voter is massively overrated.
Romney won independents in 2012 but there were simply more Democratic voters who showed up than there were Republicans.
2004 I think was the worst. John Kerry was so focused on trying to win swing voters by being barely to the left of GWB on everything (to the point where he even said he’d vote for the Iraq War all over again) that he’s the only Democrat since 1988 to not even win the popular vote thanks to shit liberal voter turnout
People don't swing on stupid shit like, "he said Cuba did a good thing". Like, who's gonna's be okay with a radical restructuring of the healthcare and tuition systems by then think that being objective enough to mention a good thing a bad dude did is worth throwing it all away?
