a clown car full of millionaires: the 2016 presidential primary thread

#feelingthebernbbag!

i have to admit it's really refreshing to hear sanders's heavy brooklyn accent in this context. he sounds like he actually comes from somewhere.

yes! Sanders/Diggs '16!

ok my take on sanders is uh.. do people in college towns really line up five hours early just to listen to this guy wave his finger at them and harangue them
why

Bernie is about as charasmatic as Nader

shoutout to guy with a huge hippie beard & an aisle seat

Bernie is about as charasmatic as Nader

sadly, this is essentially true

first question gets right to the point

I'd like to see a debate hosted by Shark Tank.

we basically already have this, it's just not televised.

So Sanders is the only one to mention minorities and over-incarceration.

let's see if she can get away with a third mention of her factory-worker grandpa

Sanders has much more force than Nader gtfo

force, yes... i wouldn't call it charisma though.

way to red-bait, anderson cooper.

boy is he nervous about reaffirming the sanctity of capitalism

Hillary does have the charisma of Frankenstein's monster, i'll give you that

(not watching)

Anderson Pooper

anderson just talked right over chaffee ... i guess he doesn't accord the "lesser" candidates the same respect and time. it's really obvious.

O'Malley's words tumble gently, dollops of gravy on mashed potatoes.

O'Malley sounds like the oldest person up there

When they release the Bad Lip-Synching video, O'Malley will have the best voice.

shit how did i forget this was happening

well fuck it i have a review to finish anyway

(thanks to ilx i can just read this thread as i try to fall asleep later for the highlights)

did Sanders just refer to himself in the third person

o cool, actually it's a mental health issue

yeah Bernie sucks on gun control

What's the Bernie Sanders Lockheed Martin thing?

you have to understand, he's from a white state and we can trust white ppl w/ guns

lol @ o'malley pulling a sotu cameo move - very presidential carcetti!

i feel like insistently reminding voters that he's from an inconsequential state is not a great look

calm the fuck down hillary

Bernie not doing well, I don't think. But let's see where this goes. Certainly guns are his weakest link, and a major faultline.

jesus this fucking country, every candidate has a local mass shooting they can point to to show they get it on a personal level

a dude from Vermont, a dude from Rhode Island -- representative of the Democratic electorate.

hd is not doing these ppl any favors

Guy looks like Grandpa Munster.

o'malley the eastern shore of maryland is plenty rural, ok, but you also lost there like 40-60 in every election (and it didn't matter because most of the population of the state is suburban/urban?)

"more of a leadership position" shut the fuck up

Sidebar on CNN lists "What Katy Perry wants to know."

This has been going on for a while with no commercial, so good on that, CNN.

i'm watching this closed captioned and in another tab ie i'm not really watching but i'm gonna guess the media declare o'malley the "winner", the same way rubio "won" the first gop debate ie in some parallel universe the doorway to which only opens for a few hours on sunday mornings inside the beltway

hey if what katy perry wants to know is my phone number you dudes feel free to pass it on, i'm dtf

My 10-year old girl's quick take is that Clinton is "very pretty." And that she looked "exactly like I thought she would look."

Sanders running as President Clean Up This Mess.

has she only heard her on the wireless heretofore? xp

poor chaffee, i feel like he could melt into a puddle onstage and nobody would notice

xpost She'd never heard her before, I don't think. Unless in passing on NPR in the back of the car.

Clinton must be having crazy deja vu every minute of her life.

I did not get Sanders' comparing the no fly zone in Syria to the decision to invade Iraq...?

I feel like there was more cheering at the Republican debate

Chafee > O'Malley > Webb...I guess
