Okay, we’re about 10 minutes away from the debate on CNN.com.
Popcorn? Check.
Soda? Check.
Comfy chair? Check.
I even have a pizza ready to put in the oven during halftime. 
God god, that intro was obnoxious. I so hate CNN.
Well that was a terrible rendition of the anthem.
ETA: Holy fuck, another commercial break?
Did the GOP debate have the national anthem? Why does the GOP hate America?
Finally the commercials are over. Get on with it, people!
THE NEW SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER . . .
Sanders is coming across as angry. I don’t mind the anger too much, but I wish he’d stop yelling at us.
Hillary Clinton wins the introductory round, IMO.
If you are waiting for the smiley, happy-go-lucky Bernie, you are gonna be waiting a loooooong time.
I actually think the dour, serious demeanor is part of his appeal. Straight talk and all that, y’know?
“Secretary Clinton, do you want to respond?”
“No.”
“The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails”
Praise Og, the audience woke up.
Am I crazy or are these five actually discussing issues rather than attacking each other and regurgitating talking points?
I may be drunk but it seems that way to me.
No, I’m okay with that; I just wish he wouldn’t yell at us.
I am told one of the questions was “Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?” Is that so? Any idea how I can find the answers they gave? The debate website seems to have just a few clips on it, none including that.
You’re not crazy; these folks are much more in line with each other than the GOP candidates are with each other. They agree with each other a lot and they are saying much more substantive things than what was said in either of the two previous GOP debates.
Oh there are canned talking points being used, but in a context of relevant issues. Which these days sounds refreshing. And their talking points aren’t about one another being weak losers or what their faces look like.
Oh no, Lincoln Chafee just…went down in flames with that explanation of that vote. That was painful to watch.
Hearing Hillary cackle in her Kim Jong Un costume is probably gonna give me nightmares. I keep waiting for someone to drop a house on that evil creature.
It was entertaining watching them read off the teleprompters though. When they cut to the crowd a few times I could still see the words under the promoters.
Amateur hour lmao…
Aye, he blew that one.
Anderson Cooper is doing a pretty good job of calling them all out when they aren’t answering the question that was asked, IMO.
Whoa!
Martin O’Malley: “…Donald Trump; that carnival barker in the Republican Party…”
“…that carnival barker, Donald Trump…”
So O’Malley just figured out how to be sure to a boost. Insure Trump will attack you this next week.
It’s a tremendous carnival, the greatest carnival ever
