- 02:02:30 Out of movie. Not home yet. But have debate audio in my ear as the candidates are being introduced. :-)
- 02:07:13 Sanders shifts from Paris to domestic stuff in seconds flat.
- 02:17:54 First impression so far in debate, there are actually three adults on the stage, unlike some other recent debates.
- 02:19:41 Also O’Malley making better show of himself than ast Dem debate. Maybe it is because there are only three, but not immediate zero this time.
- 02:26:21 Clinton dodging the issue when framed as “radical Islam” is not useful. The “radical” was in the sentence. It wasn’t just “Islam”.
- 02:29:55 This argument about what you call things is a complete losing argument for the Dems. You can make point without that.
- 02:35:19 Also liking the moderation so far. Much more serious tone than previous debates for both parties. Back and forth also nice.
- 02:38:03 What is so hard about “Yes, we are fighting radical Islam, just remember that is a tiny slice of Islam, most Muslims oppose radical Islam.”
- 02:38:30 Ah. Guess we are done with the rest of the world now. :-/
- 02:43:11 Sanders promises too tax rate will stay under 90%. Winning line there!
- 02:48:09 So far biggest thing from my point of view is O’Malley holding his own. Not a threat to Clinton for #1, but might close gap on Sanders.
- 02:49:48 Oh, and the stupid equivocation by all three candidates not saying “radical Islam” and playing word games instead. Silly and self defeating.
- 02:52:12 Oooo…. O’Malley gets 1st shot in on Trump. He is really flowering this time. Will get 10x the attention he has so far. Attention, not polls.
- 02:52:53 Retweeted @brithume 02:52:16 O'Malley calls Trump "that immigrant-bashing carnival barker."
- 02:59:35 .@abulsme Uh, I meant “top” of course. Stupid phone typing. in reply to abulsme
- 03:03:37 Q: Why don’t you think Wall Street money will make you soft on Wall Street? Clinton: Trust me.
- 03:05:34 Sanders on the attack on money influence on Clinton. Feisty!
- 03:05:59 Clinton coming back strong though.
- 03:07:41 The “respectful disagreement” is getting loud. I like that. :-)
- 03:09:03 What is happening now is what I initially expected from the first Dem debate. Seeing multiple serious candidates, not just one.
- 03:10:39 By that I don’t mean others actually jumping up in polls to match Clinton. Just enough to make people take longer look at the others.
- 03:21:37 Seeing people noting follow up question based on a viewer tweet from minutes earlier. I like it! Best use of social media at a debate yet.
- 03:22:21 Should have actually given the Twitter handle though, not just “a Twitter user” genetically.
- 03:23:03 Retweeted @jasoncherkis 03:15:46 No way GOP would stand for a debate this tough.
- 03:24:03 Retweeted @deray 03:23:04 At some points, it seems like Sanders and O'Malley are competing for VP. #DemDebate
- 03:27:00 Sanders declines again to go after Clinton on email.
- 03:31:00 Retweeted @BlogsofWar 03:30:15 I do think CBS is managing this debate well. Better than any debate to date. They're nearly invisible. Candidates are front and center.
- 03:36:22 Hillary: “I come from the 60′s”. Way to remind everybody about your age and generation. Not a positive for many potential voters.
- 03:41:43 Clinton “revolution never came” on healthcare. Recognizes limits on how far things can move given current climate. Pragmatism over idealism.
- 03:42:00 Retweeted @B_M_Finnigan 03:39:08 @abulsme especially if she's facing someone as young as Rubio. That's a monster of an age gap in reply to abulsme
- 03:42:51 .@B_M_Finnigan Indeed. There have been a number of lines here that we will hear in ads when we get to the general. in reply to B_M_Finnigan
- 03:46:24 Retweeted @B_M_Finnigan 03:45:26 @abulsme and not many of them particularly good. in reply to abulsme
- 03:46:27 Retweeted @B_M_Finnigan 03:45:40 @abulsme for the Ds that is. in reply to B_M_Finnigan
- 03:50:08 .@B_M_Finnigan HRC lines in this debate still clearly primary focused. Play well with D’s, but many will hurt in general. Not all, but many. in reply to B_M_Finnigan
- 03:50:50 Closing statements! This one hasn’t felt as long as the others.
- 03:51:37 Unlike the others, I have done this one 100% on an audio only feed. No video. Wonder if that makes a difference.
- 03:53:23 Retweeted @timkmak 03:52:53 Attack ads Hillary generated for her opponents tonight:
1) I come from the 60s
2) Took Wall St $$ bc 9/11
3) ISIS is not America's fight - 03:56:05 Over! My take: O’Malley may rise a bit, but not enough to matter. Sanders flat, at his ceiling already. Clinton untouched as clear nominee.
- 03:58:05 The debate itself was probably best one yet for either party. Lots of substance but still some fireworks. And UNDER TWO HOURS. Good length.
