***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[Armada]

 
It's just a live poll of how viewers felt and Bern's had the overwhelming lead the entire time. Hilary started real strong but she really lost momentum near the end. Bernie was strong all around imo but a little weaker than I though on gun issues. 

Bernie was already being to real saying we need to learn from Denmark on certain issues and saying America is an embarrassment, he had to sugar coat something 

.

 

[jape]

yeah malley suprised me i like him.  

 

[RustyShackleford]

I'm just glad to see Sanders in the race really pushing Hilary away from her more centrist/moderate positions. LOVE how campaign finance reform has become mainstream 

His was never a centrist, I dunno where people get this from

She is more moderate than Bernie yes, but compared to most Dems, she clearly on the further left side

Biden and Webb are moderates

 

[aepps20]

Ain't no one cares about your house parties Bernie. I want to know where this clown Chafee came from. I wouldn't vote for him as the commissioner of my fantasy football league.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Chafee the type of dude you want your widowed grandma to meet at the church mixer

Not really lead the country

Didn't say she was,just said a lot of her positions on certain issues especially finance/foreign policy related have been much more o-wards the center than her position on other issues.

 

[jape]

chafee was cringeworthy.  i felt embarassed for him the whole time

Dead

Hillary is a politician to the core, Bernie kept it 100% when he should've kept it at like an 85. This is Hillary's to lose, I just don't believe that she'll get anything done, if not for lack of effort but because the GOP will go against anything she presents, just like Obama.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Was expecting Uncle Joe to come down from the rafters like Sting. I am disappoint.

 

[Armada]

Yeah Chafee was just happy to be their and now he can tell his grandkids he ran for president and debated other candidates and "held his own" 

 

[aepps20]

I was hoping the same. I wish Joey would run but I understand if he didn't after Bo died.

 

[rolaholic]

All Chafee is missing is a widows peak 

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Clinton/Sanders ticket would do Avatar-in-IMAX numbers.

 

[RustyShackleford]

-Martin O'Malley might be campaigning for a Vice President nod

-Bernie is like Quentin Miller, he got the bars but horrible deliver. Bill de Blasio might be the progressive movement's Drake, I dunno

Clinton/Sanders ticket would do Avatar-in-IMAX numbers.

Would make 2012 look like game 7 OT 

 

[aepps20]

Chafee would sign a bill just to sign it. Then he would say that it was his first day on the job.

This! I found myself saying so many times "Bernie I agree with you but you keeping it to real bruh"

Dog, them running on the same ticket, u can book another 8yrs for the Dems

 

[RustyShackleford]

I'm sorry, I don't see it, what value does Bernie Sanders have to Hillary in the general?

He is probably going to endorse her when he drops out anyway

 

[rolaholic]

He'd never accept it anyway but that would mobilize the left of the country so fast...

Bern really gave Hilary an assist though with that email line  

 

[rolaholic]

Gotta get Larry Lessig in on the next debate,it's crazy how dude's like Chafee and a closet repub were invited and not him. Dude would really map out the debate on finance reform/regulations 

 

[RustyShackleford]

I love my man Bern but my homeboy pointed out something again tonight about dude's answers:

-Votes against Immigration reform on principle because it would hurt a small group of people, even though it would help many more

-Votes in favor of Clinton's the tough on crime bill when he knew it was gonna hurt African Americans, because the Violence Against women act was attached

 

[Armada]

If Bernie doesn't get the nomination he will endorse Hillary in the same way i'll admit Paul Pierce is a good basketball player...

very reluctantly 

 

 

[rolaholic]

That "Congress does not regulate Wall Street,Wall Street regulates Congress" line was so cold
