    I thought this thing started at 8.

    This debate might get ugly tonight, depending on how much Clinton and Sanders rip into each other over the DNC data breach.

    Apparently that includes 30 minutes of pre-show.

    It's doing this on YouTube as well. And youtube is a guy STREAMING the stream, so it's not just me.

    This is basically unwatchable.

    Let's be honest, O'Malley knows he's not getting on the ticket. That spot's almost certainly reserved for Julian Castro. My bet is that he's angling for the Cabinet.

    Who calls 2015 the year of the activist?

  • StericaSterica Yes Registered User, Moderator mod
    Ehhhh, Edwards was a similar scenario in 2004: guy with no real hope who stayed in, and he eventually got on the Kerry ticket.

    But the bottom line is that he's not here to win the primary and just wants to get his name out.

    yeah, O'Malley has done a good job of distinguishing himself in the debates, but he need to be able to continue that off stage, and in the campaign at least he hasn't really done anything of note. perhaps when the primary is over that will change, but if he wants to turn his run into something bigger he needs to do more outside of the debates to ensure that people don't forget about him.

    So I'm not alone in this being easily the worst stream of the debates so far?

    They just said that the race is tight and couldn't be closer.

    Verbatim.

    it's like streaming porn during the late 90's.

    or, that's what i've been told.

    yeah. that's the story.

    Now in glorious 8-bit!

  • jmcdonaldjmcdonald I voted, did you? DC(ish)Registered User regular
    Hillary not even bothering with the field, targeting pubbies in her opening.

  • FencingsaxFencingsax It is difficult to get a man to understand, when his salary depends upon his not understanding GNU Terry PratchettRegistered User regular
    OMalley hammering Trump in the opening.

    ok s sounds has died for me, are they flashing up quotes from Republicans next to images of the Dem candidates?

    In New Hampshire, which is kind of true.

    O'Malley starts by saying the wrong thing which is that the first job is to protect the American people, which it is not. It is to protect the Constitution.

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.
  • Wraith260Wraith260 Happiest Goomba! Registered User regular
    guess my stream is a bit behind too, they're just taking the stage for me.

    That was the opening,where they played a clip of Hillary bashing Cruz

    First question obvious. To Sanders.

    yeah, just saw the pic of Hillary and a text quote that i was sure was from Cruz. i'm guessing the sound would have added context. running better now, though a bit blurry like the other feeds have been.

    Sanders was doing great right up until that last part.

    Seems like a decent response from Sanders. No need to get accusatory towards Clinton, but the accusations to the DNC seemed justified.

    Sanders apologized, Hillary's reaction is that it's resolved and should move on.

    Hillary taking this graciously.

    waiting for the hammer to drop.

    ooooh

    and a big applause.

    she's totally high roading this. makes bernie look worse with the conspiracy crap. and omalley chiming in too.

  • Raiden333Raiden333 Registered User regular
    Yeah I posted that before the apologizing thing, I thought he was gonna go out on the note of "Well she might be doing it TOO!"

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    That was well handled.

  • Wraith260Wraith260 Happiest Goomba! Registered User regular
    i do love how O'Malley has come out against Trump in every debate, both directly and (somewhat)subtly. Bernie following up with some broader attacks on billionaires and their involvement in politics.
