Lincoln Chafee, the guy blaming on his father's death the fact that he made bad decisions, pathetic, and Jim Webb the republican guy on a democratic debate joking about the vietnamese he blew off with a grenade...awkward. These two never got more than 1% and never mattered, thankfully they dropped out quickly from the race. Chafee isn't a bad guy tho, just not one cut out for this.

However, from all the debates i've seen, most of the democrats debate were about substance and policies, unlike the republican ones, that were just about wich monkey could throw his feces best, they couldn't discuss real issues if they tried to, ignorance runs rampant on the republican side (with the exception of Rand Paul, who wanted to talk substance on the last couple of debates,too bad substance and facts don't do well with the republican primary voters).

lol your not actually believing that? the democrat debates are quite funny. The Hardest qus for Clinton was " Mrs. Clinton, how many African children do you plan to save this year? " I mean god her qus were so freaking easy even Carson could not mess up on them. The Republican Debates have been a bunch of figure pointing, I agree, but if you honestly think the democrat debate was better then I feel sorry for you. at least with republicans it was entertaining but with democrats I swear I fell asleep twice. I was at the TV screaming " WE FUCKING GET IT! YOU HATE TRUMP, REPUBLICANS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY PROBLEM ON EARTH AND FOR ALL FUTURE PROBLEMS!! JUST FREAKING TALK ABOUT AN ACTUAL ISSUE!!! PLEASE!!! I AM BEGGING YOU!!!! ". Bernie was the only reason I watched that debate and I was really surprised when he basically rolled over and played dead while Clinton and O'Mally Beat the crap out of him on gun control. Republicans have new blood this year and its exciting, Democrats are playing the same Cards all over again.


only a moderate Republican Can beat Clinton so I really want Kasich or Rubio but it will never happen




Koala you seem to lecture most people on how there countries should run. so please, I would love to know what you think America needs.....based on her culture. America is nothing like Europe ( thank god ) so just keep that in mind

Everybody's getting so psyched 'bout this when we all know Clinton will have her second term, and maybe get a third one in four years time. Whether you like it or not, Hill Clinton is going to lead 'Murica again.

Hitchslap, I find it a bit ironic how you call out the Republicans for mud-slinging...while attacking them with mud-slinging. At-least back up your insults with a bit of reasoning.

How can he quantitatively determine which debate was more about "substance and policy"? Hint...you can't. His subject opinions about the Republican party are just being projected onto his analysis of the debates. Its as simple as that.

Oh no no no, he doesn't need logic, he has "hitch slap".

Conservative stop being paranoid would you, I never said I would give advices to these US politicians. I have not this pretension unlike you.

Lol what does paranio have to do with this? It seems you love to criticise most countries on politics so i was simply giving you a chance to back it up

I blame myself. I should have seen it coming.

sanders and paul are probably the only two candidates that actually believe everything they say. Shame to have one of them written off by the debate organizers.

You can talk all you want about the polls, but the current poll averages show Paul ahead of Kasich nationally: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html

AND in Iowa: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ia/iowa_republican_presidential_caucus-3194.html

In fact, there have been NO major nationwide polls within the last month that showed Kasich ahead of Paul. The most recent national poll that showed Kasich ahead of Paul was 1 of 2 conducted on 12/10. It had Kasich 1 percentage point ahead of Paul, with a margin of error of 5%. 4 of the 6 polls conducted since 12/16 (within a month of the debate) show Paul ahead of Kasich by 1-2 points. Why, then, is Kasich on the main stage but Paul isn't? It's because he managed to get 11% of the New Hampshire polls. Based on his national polling numbers, those 11% of New Hampshire Republicans might be his entire base.

It is a shame that Rand Paul was demoted. I will say that.

And your point is? I don't really get your point Conservative here and why you are always comparing Europe to the US (you are always the first to talk about this) which is so irrelevant really.
The only thing I stated was that Trumpy was a clown and that the current US debates were only for the show where any serious questions were avoided, for all of this, I think all of this was true. Or do you deny this?

I think debates like this are extremely useful and without them, voters would be at a loss. When do I compare Europe To America constantly? I happen to actually the European system in everything but it's strict state rules, and it's socialism. The culture in Scandinavia and how they teach is different and I like it. Lol why did you turn it around on me? What game are you playing? XD everyone knows your the guy who likes to believe every nation who doesn't follow the European way is barbaric.

How can he quantitatively determine which debate was more about "substance and policy"? Hint...you can't. His subject opinions about the Republican party are just being projected onto his analysis of the debates. Its as simple as that.

You are right. And you are wrong.
I gave my opinion based on my analysis of the debate, wich is most definiteltly subjective by definitino. But you can objectively determine wich debate is of better quality by fact-checking all the claims for example (as long as we can agree on a reasonable definition of facts in this context). This is a good way to have an informed opinion, even if it is still a subjective opinion. In this area, i believe facts are in massively higher number in the camps of the democrats.

Just to take one example:

Where did yo find this? MSNBC.com?

Btw, you do realise Sanders is the donald Trump of the democrat party?

People will have the same opinion as those he corrals with.

Btw, you do realize Sanders is the donald Trump of the democrat party?

This statement doesn't make any sense by itself. You can compare Trump and Sanders in the way they represent the "anti-establishment", but that's about it. Sanders and Trump holds completely different views on almost every issues, so your satement is kinda moronic
