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

how's Chafee's style?

They should put points on the podium, like in Jeopardy!

idg Webb. Has his whole campaign been based on getting screen time in this debate? Because he's been doing diddly shit out on "the trail."

a stick of margarine in a toaster

xpost

Chafee can't use the "I'm new" excuse for his debate performance

i know the cw is the dems having fewer debates has hurt them and i agree w/ that and i know the cw is that trump has brought alot of eyeballs to the gop debates and conservative issues and i'm sympathetic to that but i still think the dem field being so much smaller than the gop clown car is a real advantage, tonight at least. also can kinda imagine a pathway for o'malley now, i can definitely see his game, stealing what works from sanders and positioning himself to the left of hillary. triangulating as it were.

not gonna work

chafee needs to get his guarantee of an ambassadorship to france or whatever for an endorsement and drop out

My Uncle Gary would agree with Uncle Bernie about college tuition debt.

yeah i don't think it's gonna work either, just i can imagine a scenario where the field is down to him and hillary

Yeah, fuck colleges. They should shut them down!

I forgot the audience was there, was quiet for a while. They watching Cubs highlights?

I love how Bernie pronounces caucus the way he'd pronounce Secaucus.

I think we can all agree Jim Webb won this one.

man i forgot hillary's role in chip, that's a pretty strong...chip to have on the campaign trail, shit there are probably kids who got healthcare cuz of chip that'll be voting next year

Yeah, Webb, get the fuck out of here, and take those others with you.

I think we can all agree Jim Webb won this one.

maybe pay better attention to my posts? schip is the preferred nomenclature btw.

I thought Sheryl Crow did a nice job transforming a rote patriotic ritual into something sort of real, warts and all. I look forward to her next single, "I Love Denmark.:

And I told you Chafee was a Whig - he quoted John Quincy Fucking Adams! Can we introduce a giant saw and cut off the right side of the stage?

Kinda wish Hil had taken the bait to explain why restoring Glass-Steagall is largely meaningless political theater - it isn't even fighting the last battle, as she suggested - but she did get across that her economic plan is the smartest, whether or not the best politics.

Waiting for Webb to challenge Cooper to a duel.

oh boy Snowden questions

I walked to the other side of the house to get a drink, came back and had already forgotten this was on, like a fish forgetting why it swam to the top of the tank. Which is a long way of saying, man, I don't think I can watch another one of these.

Fuck you Clinton re: Snowden.

schip is too federalist for my taste! chip chip chip!

i missed the snowden question - did they figure out if he's a traitor or a hero?

misogynist!

He's a tractor.

lol soto

Why wouldn't they want to be a third term of Obama?

Are those Bad Lip Reading dudes gonna do this one?

O'Malley and HRC said Snowden isn't a whistleblower -- he "ran" to Russia with the info.

Is there a risk for any of these people saying there really hasn't been much wrong with Obama? Why is Cooper pushing this?

Surprised they're not ripping on the Republicans more, just generally.

is Obama a hero or a traitor?

He's also a tractor.

These guys are revolutionaries.

so you can generate 'bernie sanders DESTROYS obama at the debate' clickbait

Wow Clinton just fucked up that Obama question in a stunning brain breaking way

Why wouldn't they want to be a third term of Obama?

cuz it's basically the 5th term of Dubya?

When we return from a commercial, Anderson Cooper will pass the dutchie from the left-hand side

Surprised legalization of pot popped up on GOP debate and surprised it's popping up here. That ship has sailed, hasn't it?

haha

They should have used the Transitive Property of Morbs: Obama's two terms were the same as Bush's, ergo, how would you not be like a fifth Bush term?

lol if you scroll down the page cnn is streaming the debate on there's this anguished "WHY IS PLAYBOY GIVING UP NUDITY?????" hed

or the 10th term of Reagan, if you please

Senator Sanders, Playboy is giving up nudity, AmBev is merging with Miller. America used to be the world's greatest exporter of middle of the road vice. What happened?

the fabled second john john term the elders prophesised in days of yore

Clinton just admitted she took a longer time in the bathroom because she is a woman. What if there were terrorist attack and she was taking too long in the bathroom then!?

lol balls

If she didn't want to be president because her last name is Clinton, then why did she change her last name to Clinton? Looking at you, Senator Jakob Dylan!

jesus christ can you imagine waiting on bernie sanders table? that hand is up every five seconds
