South Carolina Democratic Debate tonight.

Yeah, she’s been lagging way behind and I do not see this debate as a game changer for her.

Doubtless no one will leave till after Super Tuesday but I hope after that some at the bottom of the leader-board have the good sense to bow out.

What a mess.
How about someone tells me why I should vote for them, as opposed to why Bloomie and Bernie are terrible…

:confused: IIRC the 21st century so far has had some of the lowest overall murder rate years in the US since, like, the 50s. I don’t think you get that even counting every war, revolution and crime syndicate worldwide. WW2 only makes it halfway there.

You are thinking of Kung Fu Panda 3.

Obi-Wan, actually. :smiley:

It’s been more civilized since the break, thank “Bob”.

Aye. I like her, tho. I think she’d be a vary valuable ally in the future, were I Warren or Buttigieg or Sanders.

Moderators are terrible. Nobody is able to get any rhythm. New rule: If you put your arm up, you don’t get recognized.

Also Bloomberg is an awful candidate. Has zero chance. It looks like someone told him to show some humor; at least I think that was what he attempted.

Every debate I watch, I feel like the candidates need to be enclosed in soundproof booths and have their microphones activated from the outside, with a timer showing how long they have to talk, and then it shuts off when they run out of time. Because none of them seem willing to say something concise and shut up. It’s also hard to tell how much time each of them is supposed to have.

Biden saved millions of lives by keeping Ebola from reaching US.

I also dream of having the audio guy cut their mics when they go over time.

Getting on the stage gave voters a chance to evaluate him.

Less poor today but his good to the world will be supporting the efforts of someone else as standard bearer and helping Congressional races.

He’s more aggressive tonight, which is working for him; on the flip side, he looks like a dick.

A “Fuss”? An International Fuss?

Fuck. I just pissed my pants laughing!

Biden is being weirdly…grrr!

I wonder what his strategists told him in how to present himself tonight?

Or go off topic. The question was “Would you allow Chinese firms to build U.S. infrastructure?” but they let Warren go on about Bloomberg not releasing his tax returns…

Senator Librarian is laser-focused on Bloomberg, and I think she’s doing a fantastic job of keeping him reeling.

I’ll assume Biden is mistaken, because the alternative is that he’s simply lying.

Great to hear Mayor Pete tell people to start living in the 21st century.

ETA: Oh fuck it’s a mess again.

God, Amy, just shut the fuck up.

Shock collars.

I agree with this.

So many debates have the candidates ramble off on whatever they want to talk about and not answer the question given.

Cut the mic and move on.

EDIT to add: Additionally, mute the mics of candidates who are not answering the question given to them. Although, it does make things more lively and better TV.
