Hillary is just about the fakest person and politician ever! Bernie may be a socialist but atleast you can trust he means what he says.
I agree with that completely. Bernie at least seems like a good person even if you don't agree with his politics. Hillary....not so much.
So ratings are expected to be much lower than the GOP debates. Tells you who has the excitement this cycle...and it ain't Hillary!
Smile minded, underinformed folks (which the majority of Americans are) would rather watch a bunch of clowns scream over each other than watch policy substance and real issues discussed. It's the sad truth of American politics.
The online numbers (those streaming the debate online instead of watching on t.v.) were much higher for the debate last night than for the republican debates. I know that is how the watch party I was at last night watched it.
it makes me feel dazed that clinton by most accounts will be the next president. at the same time i would recoil in horror if cruz was elected. clinton though should not be the first president that's a woman. it just sucks.
i would assume that overall that a lot of republicans don't know what the internet is yet. seriously though as always there are much younger people that are democrat. so they would obviously watch online more than repubsss
I would have loved Warren to have garnered that honor. However, like most here point out, Hilary is certainly the lesser of two evils when compared to the Republican candidates (besides maybe Paul, but he has no chance because he's not a far right extremist).
Successful Americans tend to have a Republican bias... The group of voters looking for government handouts tend to have a liberal bias...
Saying stupid stuff like this cost Romney any shot at the election. That chicken doesn't need anymore f***in'.
I think it is still a possibility Warren is the first woman president. If Sanders wins I think there is a good chance he'd choose her as a running mate -- which would set her up well to take over for Sanders after he leaves office. As far as Clinton, I would never vote for her because I don't see her as any different than most republicans -- and I think the Democrats running people like her is why voter turnout is so low and why Republicans currently control the House and the Senate. If she runs against Trump though I'll have to support her, because I think Trump is a straight up fascist.
there are a lot of people looking for handouts that vote. because after this election 6 out of the last 7 elections handout voters will have won the popular vote. i said this 4 years ago or more that it would be bush vs. clinton in 16'. clinton wins and either loses reelection or doesn't seek it. with the republicans finally winning again with 8 years and another huge recession at the end of it along with a few big wars thrown in. the story almost writes it self.
Bernie may sound a little coarse and angry but how would you feel if you knew you were sane in an insane world. He's had the same ideals and policies about shared prosperity for the 40 years of his public service, but he has to rant and rant and rant in the face of the absurdity of politics just to be heard. ( I guess the road to where we are began with the alignment of the post-war capitalist and the Cold War propagandist. Both benefitted from scaring people with cries of 'communism' when clearly it was the collective efforts led by FDR and Ike that rallied the nation to it greatest achievements)
Most of that "bailout" number was never spent and when it comes to companies being bailed out such as banks and auto companies which is usually what people are talking about, most of it has already been paid back....the government has even profited on the bailouts in the case of the 2008 700 billion dollar bailout that everyone was so upset about (including me at the time to be honest) At the same time, entitlement spending is out of control and the state isn't seeing a return on that spending. You won't find anything from a DNC debate about this (and no real solutions outside of maybe Rand Paul at a GOP debate), but Social Security, Welfare, and Medicare/Obamacare is really putting the country in a bad situation fiscally and something really has to be done about it. The country can't keep borrowing almost half a trillion dollars a year in order to keep the lights on. Either taxes have to go up on everyone drastically or we need welfare/Social Security/Medicare/Obamacare reform to get the country back in the black.
