Seems Hillary crushed the debate.  Bernie fans are going to go more into Ron Paul fan territory now.

Bernie's entire strategy revolves around increasing voter turnout dramatically enough to transform Facebook likes, youtube views and retweets into actual votes. It's never gonna happen.

The internet can circle jerk all it likes but it's all talk right now and nothing else.

Also the internet thinks Bernie can usher in an era of European style socialism forgetting that a democratically controlled congress, senate, and president could only eke out a healthcare plan that was the brainchild of a rightwing thinktank.

Shit's gonna be really unbearable if he wins one or both of Iowa/NH, and I'm pretty sure he's gonna win NH at the very least. I say this as someone that prefers Bernie to Hillary and plans on voting for him in GA's primary, but goddamn are his fans obnoxious.

I'm definitely voting in the primary for Sanders even though my state is gonna be near-unanimous Hillary, but sadly he's about 20 years too early for mainstream America. Best I can hope for is he'll influence Hillary to move at least bit further left.

Still am putting money on Bush/Rubio vs. Hillary, with Hillary winning. Though I don't know who her veep will be.

Honestly Bernie can probably win Iowa or NH, maybe both. He's doing pretty well in polls there. But once things open up to browner states he's finished.

"In my judgement, with respect to Hillary Clinton, she will be a unique president if she is elected by the public next November," he added. "Because the day she's sworn in is the day that she's subject to impeachment because she has committed high crimes and misdemeanors."

Seems legit.

I've been telling my mom for 7 years that Obama's race isn't the dominant issue in terms of why he is disrespected, or the insane level of obstruction he has faced. Hillary is going to be savaged from day one - hell, before day one. The race aspect is moreso about who their policies benefit - or who it's perceived their policy benefits. They did the same thing to Bill, and Carter. And JFK to an extent.

If Hillary follows through on her plan to go farther than Obama has on executive orders I wouldn't be stunned at all if she's impeached. Especially with Boehner not there to offer the safer/better "let Bush appointed judges do our dirty work" option? Oh man.

Looks like Jeb's team decided on the counteroffensive to the 9/11 criticism:

Quote
"One is a threat that has to be taken out, as it relates to creating a strategy that calls it a war. Or we view it as a law enforcement operation, where people have rights. I think the Clinton administration made a mistake, of thinking bin Laden had to be viewed from a law enforcement perspective. Similarly, President Obama's policies seem to be focused on that as well."
