So Obama has done a fantastic job, but is he a progressive????

 

[massoluk]

Sanders.... is all over the place

 

[Officerrob]

Obama is where this whole progressive thing just blows-up in Bernie's face, it needs to be dropped

 

[BoboBrazil]

Bernie isn't really answering Rachael's question. This is a stump speech.

That's really all he has. Some great ideas, but no idea how to implement any of them.

 

[Owzers]

So Obama has done a fantastic job, but is he a progressive????

yes kinda no.

 

[ATF487]

Yeah that was a weird answer berndawg.

 

[shinra-bansho]

So is Obama a progressive or not...

 

[Grover]

to the masses its going to look like Bernie is getting trounced in this debate so far i feel

 

[Ashodin]

is he progressive? yes, but not enough

 

[B-Dubs]

Bernie looks shook right here

 

[ivysaur12]

is he progressive? yes, but not enough

But like, isn't that exactly her point?

 

[Effect]

The body language is interesting here. During Sanders answer you could see Clinton looking and listening to him as he spoke. He can barely look at her and keeps looking like he wants to interrupt her.

 

[SolKane]

Hillary flubbing the one liners

 

[Arkeband]

Bernie needs a Pai Mei beard.

 

[SolarPowered]

Welp, Obama is a progressive (who Bernie has some disagreements with) and Hillary being a moderate is not a problem in Bernie's eyes either. Good on him for at acknowledging how good a job the democratic party has done since the 08 recession.

 

[HylianTom]

Hillary has been pretty liberal over her political career. I don't get these attacks.

If someone were to go back in time and tell me in the 90s that Hillary would be attacked in this manner, I would've laaaaaaughed with incredulity. It's still remarkable to see.

 

[Officerrob]

The progressive attack was always a bad one

 

[Condom]

It's not fair!

 

[Cesare Borgia]

How is Obama a progressive and Clinton isn't? It's worth noting she had a more liberal voting record than him in the senate.

Sanders is sticking to the exact same talking points he always uses. It doesn't work in a debate against a good debater.

 

[The Lamonster]

lol damn, The Gatekeeper hahaha

 

[params7]

Hell yeah go after the superpacs.

 

[strikeselect]

Bernie just sounds like he's giving a campaign speech.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Bernie's getting his ass handed to him in this debate so far.

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

I know people here really like Clinton. I will vote for her, but supporting the death penalty looks really bad. I had no idea.

 

[Paskil]

Yeah she flubbed, but her debate one on one is strong and unfortunately for Bernie, she is probably better than him. He has to be on his A game against Hillary.

 

[Prodigal Son]

"self proclaimed gate keepers of progressivism"
Fuck off, he was answering a question he accurately labeled you a moderate.

 

[B-Dubs]

Welp, Obama is a progressive and Hillary being a moderate is not a problem in Bernie's eyes either. Good on him for at acknowledging how good a job the democratic party has done since the 08 recession.

Except that Hillary's more liberal than Obama. This was true back in 2008 as well.

Bernie, what does fundraising have to do with the question? Did I miss something?

"self proclaimed gate keepers of progressivism"
Fuck off, he was answering a question he accurately labeled you a moderate.

Yes, the Senator with the 11th most liberal voting record during her time in office is totally not a progressive.

 

[Pineapple]

That Super Pac boom...

 

[WonkyPanda]

This is the dumbest fucking tangent in all of the Democratic debates thus far.

"Na-na-na I AM MORE PROGRESSIVE"

 

[ApharmdX]

How is Obama a progressive and Clinton isn't? It's worth noting she had a more liberal voting record than him in the senate.

Sanders is sticking to the exact same talking points he always uses. It doesn't work in a debate against a good debater.

Hillary is more of a hawk. But yeah you're right.

 

[Your Entertainer]

Bernie's getting his ass handed to him in this debate so far.

I don't even see how anyone can think this so far...

 

[Grover]

walking the walk line is pretty good here

 

[ThisGuy]

Hillary is such a monster on the floor. And Bernie...not so much.

 

[Seventy70]

Hillary seems really upset. She's making it personal. I wonder if the Iowa results got under her skin.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Oh shit.

 

[kirblar]

I know people here really like Clinton. I will vote for her, but supporting the death penalty looks really bad. I had no idea.

You can't not support it (publicly) and run for President currently. It's just not a viable position.

 

[eBay Huckster]

I don't even see how anyone can think this so far...

Because he just spent the first 20 minutes dodging every question posed to him?

 

[Officerrob]

"self proclaimed gate keepers of progressivism"
Fuck off, he was answering a question he accurately labeled you a moderate.

There is no universe where Obama is progressive and Clinton isn't, Bernie needs to drop this immediately

 

[ivysaur12]

I don't even see how anyone can think this so far...

Because it's pretty obvious except that SuperPAC line?

 

[Father_Brain]

Hillary: “I know a lot of hard-fighting progressives in the Democratic Party” - no, you don’t, because there certainly aren’t “a lot”

 

[Clefargle]

Streaming on MSNBC.com isn't working for me, any YT links?

 

[legacyzero]

Would you accept Hillary's reasons for voting for the Iraq war then?

No. If waiting for the discovery of WMD while the threat of invasion dangled overhead, it's just wrong.


CNN also called her claims false in the fact check on it. Cant find the link I had earlier though...

 

[painey]

sanders could go at hillary like a pitbull to a postmans throat, but he never seems to use that cutting edge or respond well spontaneously. I feel like he does not improv well.

 

[danm999]

Sanders is getting a bit unstuck here in trying to frame Clinton as not a progressive but Obama and many of the Democrats as progressives.

 

[Four_Chamber]

I can't wait until the presidential debates when applause is banned

 

[BigJonsson]

If Sanders doesn't get the nomination will he sit in the Senate as a Democrat or as an Independent?

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Honestly no one is doing substantially better or worse right now.

 

[ivysaur12]

Hillary: “I know a lot of hard-fighting progressives in the Democratic Party” - no, you don’t, because there certainly aren’t “a lot”

lol what

 

[The Lamonster]

This is the dumbest fucking tangent in all of the Democratic debates thus far.

"Na-na-na I AM MORE PROGRESSIVE"

meh, it's to be expected on both sides during every primary.

 

[Ashodin]

Hillary's face lol

You can see it on her face

"why the fuck are we talking about sanders' history this is fucking bullshit i should be president already grrrrrrr"
