His whinging about how little time he was getting to speak wore old very quickly. He also didn't smile much. I think he did himself more harm than good.

Nah they need to give the other guys more equal time. What's the point of bringing them there when they can't speak their mind on half of the issues?

It was very heavily weighted in favour of the main three all right. I just felt his kind of stamping his foot and saying the equivalent of "But it's not FAIR!" was not the way to go. I didn't warm to him, at any rate, not that he'll care. Thought Sanders was pretty good, but they say Clinton won the day. Meh.

Clinton can suck my dick. She whipped out a bunch of political cliches and showed that she's the master of the non-sequitor while Sanders mostly said **** that was on topic.

I didn't really like Webb, either, ftr.

I loved how when Clinton was tackled on ANY issue she almost always began by saying "Let me say this..." and proceeded to avoid the question. Her defence against changing her stance on every single issue being "We learn, we adapt." Bleedin Borg queen!

read between the lines

"we learn, we adapt"???

she's a blatant shape-shifter and card carrying member of the reptilian illuminati

which also explains her difficulty in mastering the subtler aspects of human speech and intonation.

No, I told you: she's a Borg Queen!
ALL will be assimilated when she comes to power...

For cannon fodder. Electability is what gets people voted, and only the main three have that (and really, Clinton's electability is greater than anhone else's). It's not about the issues, it's about pandering and winning. Not to mention, Clinton is CNN's candidate. Sanders explicitly bashed corporate media on their stage (which is why I love him, but why he has a thin chance of being president in this establishment).

If we get enough like-minded people to vote, we have a chance. Each of you need to get 10 Sanders votes in the next month.

I already convinced a roommate to vote sanders when we watched the debate.
