She is so obnoxiously tricky.

Really not so likable.

I hate to say that, but she just does not play fair and is arrogant and condescending seeming.

You might be correct on that. I don't get why she got so much time when she talking to the undocumented mother... it was like 3-4 minutes.

31. Well do you have a different analysis?
Thu Mar 10, 2016, 10:31 AM
Mar 2016

This is a very simple analysis and does not depend upon what anyone said or what side they are on. How much time did each candidate have to speak, and how often were each of them interrupted by the moderators? Either Hillary got more time than Bernie, or not. Either Bernie was interrupted more often than Hillary, or not.

If you believe the OP is factually inaccurate you are, of course, welcome to demonstrate that by showing your own analysis.

Somehow I don't think you're up to it.

The moderators were rude and disrespectful. They would raise their voice if Bernie spoke just a few seconds past his time. It was an awful performance for the moderators, just plain terrible. They came off as rude and arrogant. They behaved as if the people at home and in the audience was there to see them.

I left the debate after half an hour or so, as I couldn't tolerate the rudeness and arrogance of the moderators. With Bernie, it seemed to be that they were on a "gotcha" search. I thought it was one of the worst debates I'd seen on either side...and, that's goin' some.

It would not hurt him if he did a Ted Cruz and put the moderators in their place from time to time. It usually works too.

She was allowed to go on and on, and the moderators cut Bernie short all the time.

I noticed the difference right away. It was quite striking if you are a person who relies on hearing more than on vision.

Apparently you didn't know this, but you can go watch the debate again at anytime, no seriously you could watch it right now if you wanted to. You could have even fact-checked the OP's numbers yourself, just think if you had bothered to do that then you wouldn't have ended up making this idiotic post and embarrassing yourself. Maybe think about it going forward.

It was obvious that they gave her way more time and kept interrupting Bernie.

Not that it really matters as he won it anyhow.

I'd think cutting and pasting the transcript in a Word document, and then highlighting each person's answers, using whatever tool it is these days (I have an old version) to do a word count, and then adding it up would be pretty simple.

I'm certainly not suggesting that you or anybody here do it, because it would be time-consuming, but a journalist who was getting paid to do so would probably find it pretty trivial. If they were interested in doing so, of course.

The more Hillary talks, the more she sounds like a lawyer/politician.

Hillary is proud of her vote for Tarp II. I wish Bernie would say he voted against it because it was trickle down economics on steroids. That never helps working families A fair amount of the money was invested overseas by the bankers.

More is not always better. There were many instances where I do not think she helped her self by speaking more. She was off tonight, I thought Bernie was much stronger, as usual. Her lies about Bernie are not going over well, IMO. She was right about not being a natural politician though, and whatever advice she is getting does not seem to be helping.

Face it, Hillary is a weak candidate and Trump will beat her. I'll vote for her because she'll continue our nation's march toward the right, but Trump will turn that march into a sprint.

The first link is a brief analysis I made of the blackout on Sanders on facebook. You should be able to load this link and look at the comments:

Here is the actual poll location:

http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/politics/washington-post-abc-news-national-poll-march-3-6-2016/1982/

Sanders data is only listed seven times. Clinton data is listed 25 times.
