Usually socialists are great speakers, look at Pablo Iglesias in Spain or Chavez in Venezuela, those sre great examples of modern socialism. It's very hard for a moderate to compete against someone who is "offering" social justice, even if said social justice will only lead to more poverty, as it's been proven ALL around the world whenever socialists have been in charge.

Also, Hillary needs to learn to stop giving evil cackles when she's uncomfortable.
Bernie got a standing-O at the end, and she just had to let one rip.  ugh. girl needs to refine her debating skills. pronto

Have to agree, unfortunately.

Hillary's worst moment was the wall vote. It came out like she was stumbling, but most Americans actually think border control is important so it won't hurt her. We know she isn't anything like Trump and the moderators tried it with that question.

These weren't really attacks minus the Benghazi one

Several news stations are saying that Hillary did well to respond to all the tough questions and that Bernie got a considerably easier time (minus the Castro clip)

I thought the "Will you deport the children?" was the most ridiculous question of the night

Hills camp still trying to make Bernie Bros happen when it already failed in 2008 and Bernie is leading in female voters under the age of 35. Give it a rest

A woman's laughter is not an evil cackle. These are the subtleties we have to fight against all the time.

That's true. The first half was like a witch hunt.

People would hardly call Bernie a great speaker with that raspy mucus voice and Brooklyn accent
Just, compared to Hillary, he sounded like a straight talker, while she sounded like she was being questioned in a courtroom.

As they should be. I think Hillary walks out of this victorious--simply due to how well she handled the lashings and beatings she received from the moderators. I think America will agree.

Observations from this debate:
Bernie is 10x better of a debater than he was at the first one. Both of these candidates have continued to push the other in elevating their game. The difference from '08 to '16 Democratic Primaries is that this one is actually elevating both candidates, whereas in 2008, Barak Obama rose to the occasion and Hillary stalled.
Hillary was getting some tough questions and was being grilled by the moderators like it was the Benghazi Committee hearing. Although, I hate to disappoint fellow Hillary supporters, I liked it. Please do not lose focus, this is to help her be able to handle these type of situations come the general election debate times. Fact, Hillary hasn't made it past a primary as a candidate for President. She may know as a third party how things shake down (being the wife of Bill), but she has no clue of the pressures of that situation as THE NOMINEE. What happened tonight, that will be at EVERY GENERAL ELECTION DEBATE. She needs to know what types of questions will be asked, the manner in which they'll be asked, and how to respond to those moments. She started good, but finished masterfully with the Castro question.
Bernie was great tonight. He was direct and frank in delivering his responses. He did it with a blend of his usual humor. He nailed environment question, pimping his record as such, and then pinned the pro-fracking stance of Hillary (and she's on quote from the last debate about the stance) on her. That was well done. One thing I am growing a bit disappointed in is, he's coming off as condescending and smug, which is ironic, because that's the type criticism that comes from people about Hillary.

She did fine, chill out.
And it doesn't matter if Bernie had the "better" night. That Fidel Castro video is the only thing that will be discussed on all news networks.

Especially the overkill on Hillary about it
Moderator: Will you deport the children?
Hillary: I will not deport the children
Moderator: Can I have a yes or no answer?
Hillary: No, I will not deport the children
Moderator: Is that a promise?
Like seriously
