Has a Dem candidate ever been booed at a primary debate

[Admiral Loinpresser]

in the age of television? It happened tonight, of course, when Hillary said "artful smear." I can't remember it occurring before.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

1. Seems to happen to Hillary quite a bit.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

5. Thx. I stand corrected. n/t

[John Poet]

15. It's the "FIRST" time this year!

"Congratulations, Hillary!"

[tomm2thumbs]

19. it's only usually when she's entirely wrong - so it does happen again and again

[grasswire]

2. I believe it is the story of the night.

Shocking.

She was much more even tempered later in the debate.

I believe the strategy was to make Bernie mad. It did cut him, that was clear. But then the crowd booed her.

11. Yes, she did seem to be trying to rile Bernie.

She seems to have a mean streak. Bernie has no mean streak. He can get angry, but he has never shown any sign of meanness or cruelty.

[JDPriestly]

22. Yes. She has a terrible tenper apparently. That suggests a lck of self-control.

I do not want her finger on the button.

[senz]

24. Absolutely, JD.

Good character and a healthy psyche are basic requirements for the holder of such power.

31. George Stephanopoulos, who is a devoted friend of hers, said in his book that both

she and Bill have fierce tempers.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. She's running a 20th century campaign that believes all anyone remembers is a zinger....

This is why she blows it.

[left-of-center2012]

3. She'll claim they were cheering her

Just wait and see.

[Ken Burch]

26. Or paying tribute to former Red Sox great Kevin Youkilis n/t.

4. Facts are not smears Hillary this was a debate tonight afterall.

[pacalo]

6. They didn't let her get away with her disingenuousness.

This is another disappointment that I'm seeing in Hillary. She can't snow the Democratic audience; we've been paying close attention. We know bull when we hear it.

[grasswire]

7. here is the video

[pacalo]

8. She's so hardened, she seemed totally unaffected by the audience's pushback.

[ucrdem]

12. They are cheering as she lights into him.

[toshiba783]

23. The audience is split between suporters

I'm pretty sure it was Chris Mathews who mentioned that the audience is selected and each candidate has a certain amount of supporters. There were many students attending this debate - his supporters booed that line, her supporters cheered.

[Lorien]

27. I'm guessing that years of only thinking about onesself

can do that to a person.

[PonyUp]

32. She's used to being booed. n/t

[mackdaddy]

9. She has taken "fees" for a single speech greater than Sanders' entire net worth.

But that would not affect any of her decisions.

Hmmmmm... must be a smear.

[ucrdem]

10. I believe they are booing Senator Sanders. That's who the remark concerned.

I just heard the clip replayed on French public radio and it sounds to me like the crowd is on Hillary's side. Cheers for Hill, boos for Bern.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

13. At the video on post #7

it seems the crowd was booing Clinton. Also, it seemed by her change in tone and body language she indicated the same interpretation of the boos I just stated. She becomes defensive, I think, but your mileage may vary.

[stranger81]

16. So that's what the memo's going to say in the morning.

Don't think that's going to fly, though. But an "A" for effort.

[Lordquinton]

17. They were saying Boo-ernie

Boo-ernie

[stranger81]

18. !!!!

[ForgoTheConsequence]

21. Yeah, no.

Nice try though. It's blatantly obvious if you watch the video who they were booing.

[msongs]

14. hasnt been a bernie crowd before nt

[Warren DeMontague]

28. A bernie crowd? Surely you're kidding.

The over-the-top cheering for some of her most hackneyed, tepid, lame "points"... anyone paying attention could tell there was a solid contingent of Hill Folk in that crowd who clearly were determined - or instructed- to show WE DO TOO HAVE "ENTHUSIASM", dad gumbit!

[modestybl]

20. The groan was over her playing the victim ...

... I think Sanders was trying to be polite, while making an uncomfortable point... Goldman Sachs is a criminal enterprise. They knowingly and purposely sold rotten investments to pension funds and other investors and made bets against them... making $$ on both ends. If HRC had taken $$ from Maddoff, it would be a scandal... why shouldn't she be called on the carpet for taking dirty money?

[platitudipus]

30. I have to agree

Bernie needs to tell her that she has to convince the American public and not him, that taking loads of cash from a nefarious bank is really just 'earned income' and not a bribe. It's not his vote she needs. She never seems to learn and is still planning on going to financial institutions next week with her hat in hand.

Don't be blaming Bernie MS. Clinton.

25. No one ever earned it before

She earned it, and the news coverage it will bring over the next cycle and into voting
