[Full] Democratic Presidential Debate CNN 2015: Bernie Sanders, Clinton, Webb, Chafee

The candidates onstage will be former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee. Theoretically, Joe Biden could still show up if he decided to run at any time today.

That's far fewer candidates than the Republicans had onstage in their first two debates — and, amusingly, most of them are barely even Democrats. (Sanders is an independent, while Webb and Chafee began their government careers as Republicans and only joined the Democratic Party relatively recently.)

The relative paucity of Democrats interested in running for president was a testament to the perceived strength of frontrunner Hillary Clinton. But though she's won the overwhelming majority of endorsements from prominent Democrats and leads in national polls and fundraising, questions over her use of a personal email account for government business while secretary of state have hurt her campaign.

 

I liked Hillary saying it is time to stand up to the NRA.

 

I wish that Lincoln Chafee had not attempted to expatiate on substantive policy matters, but had attacked his opponents as failures, dullards, incompetents, and ugly people.

Democrats left a lot to be desired as madcap show business entertainers.

 

That's why she said it. What's her actual plan though? Sanders seemed to be the only candidate on stage that realized there were actual details to work out.

 

This speaks for itself.

 

Pack of Hyena's howling at the moon.
