Title: January 17th Democratic Debate
Post by: Pete Svarrior on January 17, 2016, 11:40:17 PM

In just over 2 hours, the final Democratic candidate debate before the Iowa cacuses will take place in Charleston, South Carolina.

The stage has already been set and prepared for Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and That Other Guy:

As is often (okay, sometimes) the case, I will be getting drunk and making fun of the candidates. Most of my activity will probably be contained to IRC (you should totally join), but I might drop an occasional wacky zinger here, too. Meanwhile, this thread can serve as an avenue for everyone to have their say, regardless of whether you're a Democrat or a decent human being.

Enjoy!~

Bernie's supporters have already gathered outside the venue, and ooh, oh my, they really can't come up with a good slogan. At least Hillary's supporters look civilised in comparison.

Savages, the lot of you.

Only 1 hour until Bernie gets to feel the Bern too!

Welp, it only took 20 minutes of me watching the pre-debate stream before the Benghazi bickering began. I wonder why the Democrats are so obsessed with Benghazi!

Bernie just admitted he doesn't understand the role he's running for. 10/10

Does anyone else think Bernie sounds just like Alan Arkin? He could've been in Glengarry Glen Ross.

So far, neither Bernie nor Hillary said much at all. Bernie keeps rambling about corruption and black people, while Hillary just says words. O'Malley is winning by a landslide.
