I have never seen a worse-handled debate than this Univision debate.

[Stevepol]

Hillary has been given I would wager at least twice as much time as Bernie. Questions are posed to her supposedly to touch on key points but they're nothing more than excuses to give her a chance to expostulate on subjects like Benghazi at great length. She will present her answers and go on for 3 minutes or longer, then turn to Bernie and after he's spoken for 30 seconds, they instantly start calling out his name, Thank you Mr Sanders, etc., trying to get him to stop. Then, it's back to Hillary for another long and boring listing of general point after general point about some new dramatic difference in opinions from twenty years ago and today.

I wonder how much Univision and CNN and/or the reporters supposedly hosting the debate are being paid by some of the Goldman-Sachs and fossil fuel and pharmaceutical corporations.

This whole debate was and is a farce it seems to me. Bernie has done a good job I think in pointing out differences between him and Hillary, and Hillary has done a very good job in endlessly talking about one general point after another, always ending on some high note of general agreement among everybody so she gets loud applause, leaving a trail of general statements and half-truths that Bernie gets 15 seconds to rebut. How he's able to get his points in as well as he does in nothing short of a miracle.

I think Univision is more interested in a spectacle and the appearance of fairness than the actual pursuit of truth and the presentation of real platform points and ideas where the speakers are put on an equal footing.

1. the republican debates have been awful

[Scootaloo]

7. Well, the Republican debates are an exercise in organizing and managing violent narcissists

You can't make the same excuse at the Democratic debates.

[Snotcicles]

2. The worst I've ever seen. nt

[JDPriestly]

3. Univision should be embarrassed. The favoritism toward Hillary is nothing less than

another example of the corruption in the press and in our campaign system.

I hope someone who can do it times the debate and outs Univision with regard to how many minutes each candidate was given to speak.

4. Univision top dog gave Hillary 2.5 mil

[renate]

14. well, that's interesting

They should have to do some kind of disclaimer. (In an ideal world....)

[LSK]

5. "time is up" "thank you senator" - every 30 seconds

This debate was horrible. The best debate this year was one where they just let them go.

[StrayKat]

6. I liked their GOTV message at the end.

But, yes, it was not even moderation.

10. You probably have, but...

The latest beating always feels like the worst.

[FlatBaroque]

11. Bernie won. /

[slipslidingaway]

12. Thx, knr nt

[Arazi]

15. initially I thought thaf point was BS but now stats show HRC's speaking time 2:1

That's bullshit

Bernie did an outstanding job despite the clear bias

[Aerows]

16. I tried to make sense of the Clinton remarks

and every single issue it wandered into the weeds when Hillary attempted to spell out her position.

Bernie didn't have problems, because he was clear, concise and refused to equivocate.

17. I'll bet Bernie has learned a lot more about dirty politics in this primary than he even knew before
