It's been said a lot in this thread, but Cooper is so bae

He's mine.
But he's already in a committed relationship.

i don't really see his appeal

he's witty? i guess

He has a very fascinating history to me, he's had personal insights developed from said history that provides a different perspective to events, he's the most genuine (bigwig) journalist these days, and he's a great looking guy.

I'm a little late due to shit but uhhh

that opening to this debate was like a movie or PPV add for a UFC fight.

And the national anthem? Why?

Also, Jim Webb seems to be the only logical one here right now honestly. I remember hearing from my family how everyone at Blackwater (dad works there, mom used to) hated him for reigning them in and trying to hold them accountable for shit.

this is a long-ass debate holy shit

Clinton brought up the great contradiction with Republicans and no big gubbermint until they want their shit. Rand Paul said the same thing but obviously Clinton will be recognized for it more.

Elaborate? I'm genuinely interested. I didn't even know who Webb was until today

I honestly don't remember the entire thing but uhh... I think Webb was VERY against PMC's (private military companies/contractors) and was calling them out on spending government money and basically wasting it. I think.

I honestly couldn't educate you on it because I wasn't even interested back then.

Sanders takes a question on dealing with Republicans.

Clearly, he doesn't realize that they will still control the House of Reps for the first two years of the next Presidency.

Keep talking down to them.

Well, IIRC Rand Paul kind of pressured her into supporting sentencing reform way back when he was the GOP frontrunner. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a holdover from those early days. It was problematic when an issue made her look more conservative than a Republican >.>

It is - but all signs from pollsters and analysts currently point to GOP controlling the House, with Democrats regaining the Senate.

Bernie > Webb > Clinton > O'Malley > Chafee > GOP

They will control the house for a long time due to gerrymandering. It's illegal but since it's America, it's allowed to happen.

Clinton would be higher up for me if it weren't for her vagina pandering.

Another reason the loss in 2010 was even worse - a census year win gives your party leverage for nearly ten years.
