Dem Debate

I heard Hillary's robotic voice and I couldn't handle it for long.

I wasn't able to finish it. fucking shit was dragging on. Probably got 3/4th the way through. I have a hard time seeing Hillary "dominating" that debate. I honestly don't think anybody terribly "won" the debate. Omalley makes a good impression to me. I'll have to look into him more, if he's more of a centrist guy than he's someone I can consider on the dem side but he probably won't win the Dem primary just like the centrists on the other side won't win the rep primary. So it'll be another election year of a choice of two extreme turds. God love murica.

O'Malley has no chance. He talks about how much better Baltimore and Maryland did under him and how he's the only one to pass anti-gun laws (to a democratic legislature). We all know how Baltimore/Maryland are doing in terms of safety though, not the same as the picture he paints.
Sanders/Clinton for sure won, but I don't think that's saying much. Clinton was allowed to duck questions and skirt around all of her issues that many think are important - because she doesn't think they're important.
It looks like Biden isn't going to run. I give an 90% chance to Hillary and 10% chance to Sanders to get the nomination. Everybody else is 0. Chafee and Webb didn't even belong on the stage. Webb is polling at about 0% and all he did was complain about not getting to talk enough. He should just be thankful he got an invite. Why did Chafee think it was a good idea to say he mis-voted because he was new to the senate?
Anyway it looks like Trump won the dem debate lol. He gained more followers than all the democrats combined on twitter and managed to steal some media coverage. Say what you want about Trump, but he's very good at social media and free publicity. Some of the other GOP candidates should take some notes really.

O'Malley is the hardest left on gun control which surprised me.
Bernie Sanders was as I expected demanding the United States emulate Denmark and Sweden but not mentioning Cuba and the Soviet Union.
But he is clearly in the driver's seat of the income inequality Express.
Biggest problem with Hillary is that after all this time everyone, even the Democrats, realize that nothing she says comes from the heart.
Unlike her husband she's uncharismatic and not a very good liar.
It is, however, obvious that CNN didn't give shit number 1 about any of the other participants. Not even O'Malley.

Presumably because those aren't the countries to emulate? Nobody's planning on a vicious hard line communist dictatorship, but democratic socialism. Hence scandinavia, not russia/cuba.

None of the other have even the slightest chance of winning the nomination, let alone the presidency.

Actually didn't Blt do well under him in terms of not being the murder capital of the world anymore? It got brought up in the debate last night that minority arrests went way up under him and he got criticized for it by the NAACP. But they didn't really acknowledge that murderin went down during that time, correlation maybe?

Fewer black people on the streets = more criminals?
Anyway, yes, correlation, but you mean to ask about causation.

Hillary, being questioned specifically about her flip flops on everything and being asked "will you say anything to get elected?" said "I'm consistent."
Regardless she's pretty much a lock for the nomination unless Biden runs (seems unlikely). It's gonna suck having to see her face and voice in the news for another year.
O'Malley is pretty much another Clinton, without the recognition. Sanders wasn't tough enough - I respect he only wants to talk about issues and policy but he would have done better if he fought back some of the others who attacked him.

As the dems tried to outdo each other on free government entitlement programs (even to non citizens but they want their votes) why wasn't it brought out that we are pushing 19 trillion in debt and how can we afford it? Where will the money come? New taxes??
What is needed most in this country are the job creators and more taxes only hurt job creation and job growth.

Austerity is not the only, nor necessarily best, way to reduce debt.

How much of that debt is military spending?

I was thinking there was a correlation between more arrests, even if they were minority arrests, and fewer crime/murder. Instead of criticizing Omalley some folk needed to sit back and think to themselves "now why is that?"
I'm not for cops harassing people like they do in NY just cause you're black and walking down the street, but arresting criminals and then seeing a decline in crime/murder..i mean, well yes....that is afterall what what the fuckers get paid for. A culture of harassing colored people simply for doing highly suspicious shit like texting on their phones outside a hotel ala james blake....yeah that's obviously intolerable.

Hillary did bring up the best point of the evening, the argument shouldn't be about what is socialism but how do we preserve capitalism from devouring us...which it will if it's allowed to run unfettered.

To an extent, the trickle down economics doesn't work. Even Reagan knew it at least after he propelled it. You cut the taxes for the top 1% of Americans and it has little to no affect on job creation. Corporate taxes however, should be lowered. The discounted repatriation idea (bring back corporate money overseas at a reduced tax rate) is pretty much a necessity IMO.
Higardy has no intention of eliminating deductions and closing loop holes for her friends on wall street, though - which also should be done. Hillary benefits from corrupt capitalism more than everybody else on that stage.

The driver of our debt are entitlement programs:
Two-Thirds of All Federal Spending Went to Entitlement Programs in 2014
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare and other benefit programs, and interest on the debt made up 66 percent of federal spending in 2014.

I wouldn't lump in Social Security and Medicare which are paid for through payroll deductions your entire life with welfare and such.
