Hillary has no theme, Bernie only has one theme. Neither is a great position to be in, imo.

What an obvious question with an obvious answer for Sanders

[that G.U.Y.]

Theme theme theme theme.

Themes are for children's storybooks. What matters is policy and planning for the country.

It's pretty much a dead heat for me tho.

I am biased. But, you cannot deny that he has avoided questions throughout and repeats the same things for every single question. I'm a very factual, numbers-based, logic-driven person. A lot of Bernie fans love him for his passion and pathos-filled rhetoric, which is fine. But I don't think a debate is appropriate for that. Is Hillary making me high in excitement? Hell no. Sanders destroys her in terms of getting people rallied up. But that's not the job of the president. Logic is much more important.

But, I like that she's forward and clear about what she wants.

I agree, but framing is what wins elections.

Okay, I agree with that. I simply don't pay attention to that as much. In terms of rhetoric, I don't respond well to pathos. Logos and ethos are more appealing to me, personally.

Hillary either goes around the questions (some of you have said Bernie's been doing this but not really, his message about Wall Street, corporations, etc ARE related) or mentions that she agrees with Sanders while then trying to come off as sounding different by giving practically the same answer.

Hillary answered well in that, but Bernie beat her. That's her specialty. Hillary will destroy him in FP. But, the first half was just blatantly Bernie avoiding questions.

And Bernie has said he agrees with everything Hillary has said in all of her answers. Her answer on race was brilliant and he piggybacked off of that.

Hillary could focus her campaign around foreign policy if Democrats cared about it, but they don't.

Let's see if Bernie improved his foreign policy answers.

Nope. Here comes the Iraq vote.

The Iraq vote is his only answer

Yep. It's the only reason Sanders has managed to last---Dem primary voters don't care about it.

But he'd be wiped off the map on foreign policy alone in a general election. If he came to a general election debate and said that the biggest threat to national security is climate change, it would be instantly over for him.
