Dem Debate
« on: March 07, 2016, 09:48:55 AM »
Didn't watch it (haven't been watching the R debates anymore either) but a couple of things from the summary story I read:

1) Sanders defended protecting gunmakers from lawsuits. I'm wondering if that's to capture his younger libertarian/hipster leaning voters, or if he is going back to sticking to his principals (at least as a rep for his state), which, if not pro-gun, were not really anti-gun either.

2) Sanders defended his voting against auto industry bailouts. Clinton countered that if the vote would have gone against, the auto industry would have collapsed. I can't believe Sanders missed the opportunity to make Clinton "feel the burn" by mentioning that Ford took no bailouts and not only survived, but thrived.

They are supposed to have a townhall on Fox tonight. I might actually DVR that, and with my finger on "FF", see if there's a chance of some hardball questions.

Yeah, like how they feel about petting kittens.
WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

Like how Clinton said someone needs to be held accountable for the Flint, MI water issue.

Like she was for Benghazi and servergate?
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

This might make the D debate worth watching:

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Watching the town hall right now.  Whatever you think of his ideas Sanders came across as a guy who is concerned about the little guy.  Hillary has me screaming at the TV.  I hope my neighbor can't hear my profanity laced tirade!
