WTS, he is being more hard hitting that expected when he can ask questions in between the applause. 

  

Well she also got asked about the Benghazi/email non-scandal you people have a boner about despite the fact that after years and millions of dollars have been wasted on it you've got nothing, but I bet it wasn't enough because he allowed her good answer to be broadcast into your poor ears.

Why do you have to make everything personal. 

I'm done. maybe for a while.

The reading would be the easy part to ask for.
Now, practical application of said material is another story.

I apologize in advance, if you are talking about one specific incident and taking an opportunity to issue a shot.

It wasn't very personal at all, but it's no surprise that you, like your GOP heroes, are now fleeing from the Benghazi narrative now that it's been exposed for the weightless cynical hit job the left always knew it was.

Peace.

Webb has impressed me. Of course the debate turned into Hilldog Vs Sanders with O'Malley occasionally throwing in a sob story. If I had to vote for a democrat it would definitely be Webb.

No big surprises in the debate. Hillary showed that she is kinder to, and more intertwined with, establishment politics. Bernie continued to show himself to be philosophically superior yet it was clear that conveying that fact with the constraints of the debate filtered out much of what he brings to the table. What this debate did do, however, is remind me of why I would consider myself more aligned with Democrats in general, than Republicans.

I'll be back tomorrow guys.

The hypocrisy in this post is astounding.....

(unless SHIELD got a lot better than the last time I watched, then you are totally right)

Interesting... I heard he was from Kenya.

Webb/Boehner 2016?

When you get past 50, "obstructed" takes on a whole new meaning.

Often when I say "I will be watching..." it means "my wife will be watching... and I will be in the same room, reading or on my computer."

It has gotten better, especially from the first few episodes, but yeah.

The little bit I caught, Webb was making a fool of himself. And I like Webb.

My impression of the debate was that it looked like a dinner table. Hillary was the mother, she was very poised. Not saying she was right or anything, just she looked better than the rest. Sanders was like a grandfather just determined to go on a rant about everything. There may be some excellent points in there, but trying to pull them out from the often incoherent babbling can be difficult. The other three were like adolescent children, trying to be taken seriously by attempting to have grown up conversations.

Darn I missed this one too.

Okay. I might have to catch up on it. 
That show disappointed me more than how long it took Jim Webb to bring up he killed a guy.

That was the most awkward moment of the night. He seemed to think the crowd was gonna go wild at that line, but it was just him creepily smiling to himself.

Had he said it sooner, he may have gotten air time after Anderson Cooper finished peeing himself.

I felt kinda sorry for the guy, but it happens in every debate with more than 2 people. The lesser known candidates have to fight for time. It isn't right, but it isn't unusual, either.

I liked him giving Cooper shit for letting Hillary babble. 
Wish he would have just said **** it and started bullying the others. 
Go hard in on them, especially Bernie and Hillary.
