Democratic debate 2016: start time, schedule, and what to expect - Vox

The next Democratic debate is tonight at 9 pm Eastern. It will take place in Milwaukee and will air on PBS. And an online live stream will be available at YouTube.

It's only been a week since the most recent Democratic debate, but a lot has changed since then — specifically, Bernie Sanders won a dramatic 22-point landslide victory in the New Hampshire primary, which made it unmistakably clear that Hillary Clinton is facing a very serious challenge for the nomination.

Now, the two candidates will face off in their final debate before the February 20 Nevada Democratic caucuses, the February 27 South Carolina Democratic primary, and the March 1 "SEC primary" in which many Southern states and a few non-Southern ones will go to the polls. So the stakes are high.

Anyone really watching it?
 
I am. There isn't a lot of new stuff going on, but I always catch the debates.
 
I'm checking in pretty regularly.

Right now I'm getting a good chuckle out of both Sanders and Clinton on race and the justice system. Sanders is going to force local PD's to meet the racial demographics of their community and Hillary is going to sue PD's into submission. Both of them are blaming "systemic racism" for all the problems and Sanders has gone so far as to imply that Wall St INTENTIONALLY targeted blacks and latinos.


As an aside, the way Hillary is dressed she looks like a banana.
 
Sanders is handling the questions well, I just would rather he not flail his arms about while answering them.
 
they seem desperate.. NO?

How is he handling the questions well? He looks insane! His ramblings are without any clear thought process.

For you not a single answer is meaningful, but to a liberal they are spot on. I'm not arguing in support of Sanders, just observing he is debating well to the expected audience. You as a conservative is not that audience.
 
What is with bernie's swoop hair do and why the hell does hillary's coat look like it was made out of 1970's draperies?
 
Wow, Hillary got nailed on super PACs. That was funny.
 
Hillary will never get rid of the association with her and wall street. It is her biggest weakness, but it is also completely justified.
 
Wow....that reducing the size of government question got swept under the rug.
 
Bernies about to cough up a lung.

It's a democratic debate. It is like asking the republican candidates about minorities or poor people.
 
Loving Sanders. Clearly winning. He has Hillary on the defensive on nearly every question.
 
They should ask her about superdelegates.
 
Tried watching it but couldn't

Hillary and Bernie went after WallStreet ( predictable ) and then went on to blame Banks like CountryWide for the 2008 Subprime Crisis

Wow ! Not a word from either one of them on the two most corrupt and influential Financial entities involved.

Since this is the first primary race with unpledged PLEOs. :lamo

Oh you mean the ones I brought up before New Hampshire and some thought to ridicule me--joke's on them.

Florida, for instance, has 32 unpledged PLEOs out of 246--DEMs there are proportional while GOPs are winner-take-all.

The Green Papers could be your friend .

If HRC wins the nomination, Burnie's pouters stay home as in 2010 and 2014. If Burn wins it, the GOP destroys him as a Socialist since he's too chicken**** to get out in front of who he is now. Either way, Trump is the next POTUS .
 
I loved listening to Hillary get utterly mollywhopped on foreign policy. Love how Bernie is the first politician I can think of in recent history to elaborate on how Libya was an Anglo-American ploy that resulted in widespread radical intervention into the area. #FeelTheBern military-industrial sell-out Hillary!

ALSO: Absolutely abhorred the way Clinton defended Henry Kissinger and his Bilderberger buddies, but - once again - Bernie balanced it out with a sledgehammer of truth. I still cannot believe ever since I learned about it, that Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was able to get away with propping up such a disgusting POS human-being as Pol Pot.

EDIT: The only thing I didn't like about Sanders' performance,

Sanders gets a question about what parts of the government he’d like to reduce. That would have been a great chance to talk about intelligence overreach. Instead, he points to waste and fraud—which, as Eric Schnurer points out, is a canard and doesn’t really represent much potential savings.

A horrible day for Hillary as more investigations surface about her foundation.

And Bernie let it pass.

Why?
 
I thought Hillary was making a huge mistake by actually wanting more debates at a time when she was dropping like a rock. I was right.
