2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI honestly thought Hillary would try to put in a positive debate performance tonight. I was wrong.
When, as a candidate, you are one of the least trusted people in either party and your campaign has no clear message the last thing you should do is go on the attack against an opponent who is well liked by the majority of people and is rapidly catching you in the polls. Hillary needed to be positive tonight. She needed to define her issues in a clear and concise manner. What she did instead is try to undermine Bernie at every turn and misrepresent his views. It was a sad and pitiful performance, and I don't use those words lightly. Kudos to Bernie for taking the high road.

(13,685 posts)First debate I've seen this year. No wonder the H party wanted limited debates. The R's are going to have a hard time with Bernie.

(35,015 posts)I've had a realization about Hillary recently; she likes to spar and use a heavy hand. I have no doubt it she becomes prez, she will keep the war machine chugging along, and probably go after Iran. I have no reason to believe she won't.
If one is anti-war, the choice is clear.
