Under Obama, the country is getting more people on foodstamps , more in poverty and we are doubling the debt. This country will go bankrupt because this country is already broke.

So giving free college to illegals will get Americans better jobs, Right?

LMAO!!!!....The part that she said twice in the debate that she chased the Chinese into a room and made them sign an agreement has to be the most B.S. anybody said in the debates of both parties so far.

Yeah, I'm sure the Chinese are afraid of Hillary (former Wal-Mart Board of directors).......everything she said was B.S. and the sad thing about all this is Sanders and the rest of the clowns let her get away with it.....Sanders was next to her listening to her B.S., either he ignored it or he is deaf from that ear.....LMAO!!!!

The Republican debate was the bomb, the democratic debate was a dud. What a snoozer.

Hillary is so boring . Pull the string on the dummy and she talks.

Substance:

They have to go to the freebee bag to get a vote because they are so incompetent. Ugh!!!
The only thing that sells amongst GOP supporters is hate. They sell hate like it's going out of style. Hate Muslims, hate Mexicans, hate blacks, hate single mothers, hate the poor, hate the non-Christian, hate the people who believe in gun control.

It's easy to pick up on Republicans nowadays, I can smell the hate.

We have entitlement programs galore that have been around for a long time. And a bunch of people are using them:

Latest Obama Outrage: More People on Food Stamps Than Are Working Full Time

Is your idea of "helping" = more hand outs?

Our deficit has risen big time under a democrat, Obama, to almost 20 trillion and his "solution" is to just keep raising the debt ceiling.

I was taught this insane belief that we should rely/better ourselves, not rely on others/the government to do so.

If there was ever a time to enact IQ test's for people to vote......

Disclosure. I trust NO politician so don't sell me your "team" is better than the other "team".

Part of me feels for Jim Webb, but he certainly didn't help his case at all with his answers tonight, he demonstrated that he has very little in common with the democratic party on some of the leading social and political issues, mainly gun control. Jim Webb may be a good elected official, but he is NOT presidential material, that was made very clear tonight, same goes for Lincoln Chafee.

Bernie Sanders performed as people had hoped and expected he would, he drove home his message about not being bought out by the special interests of the millionaires and billionaires in this country and continued his talks on the high incarceration rate and lowering educations costs.

I think Hillary Clinton fans were very pleased with her performance tonight. She demonstrated she's a fierce debater and actually has different views than Bernie Sanders on a few key issues. I took a special appreciation on her reubuttal to Bernie's remarks on Denmark, she said something like, "I love Denmark, but this is America, we're not Denmark." I think it's important we have an illustrious difference, we can borrow ideas and mold them to fit our country, but we should not pretend to be Denmark, a country with a population equal to the state of South Carolina.

Consensus:

Hillary Clinton remains the front runner, Bernie Sanders expands his fan base and following, Martin O'Malley enters the race as the wild card, maybe he'll end up with a cabinet position from the winner, either way he'll be hard pressed to make up all the steam the other two candidates have put ahead of him, but people will remember Martin O'Malley's performance tonight.
Hillary is weak.. same ole retread..Hillary for Jail 2016.

I completely agree about O'Malley, and I think his performance will expand the scope of the future debates. However, the Facebook polls are showing that Sanders is significantly ahead of Hillary after tonight's.

Did you even listen to Bernie Sanders' answer on how he would pay for free college? He gave a very clear answer, and twice I might add. Oh wait, you were snoozing during the debate because they didn't come crashing down on the poor and unfortunate in our country.

Hillary held her own very well, I think Sanders won it overall, and I think O'Malley did a great job auditioning for the VP role to Sanders and Clinton.
