2nd Democrat Debate
(2015 Primary race) 9pmET November
14 {HRClinton, B.Sanders, O’Malley}
NOTE details: we will write the
topics of discussion and anything we learn that is ‘notable’.
We are not sure why we are watching this except to tell you. Can we take it for two hours?
Rush says B.Sanders won’t be allowed to win, and O’Malley is just there
to provide an opponent.
Openings: Sanders is shocked w/ISIS; H.Rodham Bring the world together;
O’Malley My heart goes out.
Terror Attacks:
HRC: We have special operators; I’ll be the Commander-In-Chief; the world
will do it, diplomatically.
O’Malley: I disagree; we must
rise with human intelligence.
Sanders: Climate Change is a
bigger threat, leading to ISIS.
Sanders: Regime change has
unintended consequences. O’Malley:
Cascading effect of HRClinton.
HRClinton: Assad has hung on—it is
complicated. [She is talking with her
hands, trying to impress.]
Sanders: Those Muslim nations have to get their boots on the ground—we can
support them.
Libya:
HRClinton: We did have a
plan. [Still talking forcibly with her
hands, but want is she saying?]
O’Malley: We need to act
intelligently and the area is a mess. A Mom said, “My son is not a boot on the ground.”
Sanders: 500,000 came home with
post-war-syndrome—they fought for us, we should fight for them.
Sanders wants fewer nuclear
and modern weapons (brings up his own topic)
Syria Refugees:
O’Malley: I was the first to
support accepting the 65,000.
HRClinton: Screen the
65,000; Russia showed a video shot of
secret drone plans.
{The first commercial ad is an R-rated movie ad; anti-Walmart union ad;
five more.}
Who pays for [freebees]?
HRC: Certainly not the middle
class; get jobs going again. Read
details on my website.
“We will have to re-do the way the pharmaceutical companies do
business.”
O’Malley: We raised sales tax a
penny and made our public schools the best in America. Climate Change. Lower capital gains tax. We can work towards free colleges.
Sanders: The redistribution has
trillions going to the top tenth of 1%. Eisenhower
had 90% tax.
Healthcare costs/Obamacare:
HRC: A great achievement of
Democrats. Let’s build on the Affordable
Care Act (for everyone).
Sanders: I am on the committee
that wrote the Affordable Care Act;
[attack] pharmaceutical.
Universal healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
O’Malley jumps in and insists on talking over the moderator; however, “Senator, you are breaking the rules
and we have to break for a commercial.”
Six ads, ending with a clip of xxx saying he can work with the
president, “Sure!”
Comprehensive Amnesty on
condition of Borders:
O’Malley: Donald Trump is a
carnival-barker [cheers] We had zero immigration from Mexico.
HRClinton: The president has
appealed to the Supreme Court: he has
the authority. Dreamers.
Sanders: At the end of the day,
millions work two jobs because the Minimum Wage is too low.
O’Malley jumps in to say they raised the minimum wage to $10 and it
created jobs and economic growth. Sanders demands to jump in to say San
Francisco and other are doing
it. Hillary supports
$12 minimum (still talking with
her hands, so annoying.) O’Malley argues back. They are talking over each
other, and you get the Hillary cackle as the moderator goes to commercial
break, again.
Wall Street Money:
HRC: People know that I will
level the playing field. Look what I did
in the Senate.
Sanders: Not good enough. Let’s not be naïve. Break of the Big Six
banks w/50% of the money.
Sanders: They make millions in
contributions and expect to get something.
HRC demands to jump in to defend her integrity: the majority are
women. On 9/11 I worked to rebuild NYC
and Wall Street. I go after all of Wall
Street and not just Wall Street.
Sanders: It is a corrupt
campaign finance system; show by example.
O’Malley: We need new thinking
on economics in the Whitehouse. HRC is ‘weak
team’.
[They are attacking each other and talking about Glass Steagall and
banks destroying us.]
Sanders: Who are we
kidding? The banks played by the rules. Who made the rules?
Guns:
HRC: Well, I think there are different
records; Sanders made a terrible
mistake. 200 children have been
killed. This is an emergency.
Sanders: We need mental health
checks.
O’Malley: Secretary Clinton, you’ve
been on three sides of this, like Annie Oakley.
[She laughs.]
Sanders: People are shouting at each other, not you Mrs Clinton. We need to come together.
Twitter “What does helping on 9/11 have to do with
taking large donations?”
Bla-bla-Blah.
HRC: Paul Krugman is on my
side. I don’t think a new Glass-Steagall
is enough.
O’Malley: Go on my website and
donate to support real campaign finance reform.
ED NOTE: All three are talking
with their hands, with wild gestures, fun to watch. (Ads).
How do you deal with the
Republican revolution?
Sanders: Make the wealthy pay
their share; Minimum wage is
popular; bring people together.
We have large rallies and are defeating the secretary with the young
people.
[Ed: When pressed, he says he is
still tired of HRClinton’s eMail; and we get her human chuckle.]
HRC: We need more to vote and
Republicans are preventing people from voting.
FBI Investigations:
HRC: After 11 hours that is clear [cleared up] Get
back to issues.
HRC: All of us believe in
Climate Change and funding Planned Parenthood. [Fight Republicans.}
Police Officers:
O’Malley: I put forth a new
agenda. I attend more grave sides. Yes, Black Lives Matter.
Young and Black:
Sanders: We spend $80billion,
disproportionately Black and Hispanic. Let states legalize marijuana.
HRClinton: I came from the 60s
and activism. I appreciate youth
standing up, respect each other.
A White man pulled out a gun and shot a Mother and daughter over their
loud radio.
Free Tuition:
Sanders: An extraordinary
investment for this country. The debt is
too large; if they study hard, with no regard to the resources of their
families. States are running deficits
but will do the right thing.
O’Malley: I actually did this,
the only state. Etc. Make a new block-grant; lower loan rate.
HRClinton insists on jumping in, even thought she was the only one who
hadn’t spoken. We don’t need to pay for
Donald Trump’s kids to go to college.
Obamacare:
Sanders: It won’t happen
tomorrow, but at the end of the day [universal socialism] Single Payer.
HRC: The revolution never
came. We have the great accomplishment
[Obamacare]. I would not want Sander’s
plan to have the state support everything put together.
Sanders: We expand Medicare to all people; SC is Rightwing and denies people.
O’Malley wants to add his two-cents worth but is denied because of a
commercial break, “Sorry.”
What Crisis shows you lead:
HRC: There have been so many (laughter) Advising Obama to go after Ben Lauden. In the end, I advised doing what we could to
go after him. I had to keep it a secret.
O’Malley: I don’t think there is
a crisis in my position that rises to that level. But I can protect.
You learn to build feedback; I
have lead and governed people in a crisis.
Sanders: I was on the Committee over
Veteran Hospitals, determined to do everything I could.
Closing statements:
O’Malley: No amount is too small
to donate to my campaign. We are at the threshold.
Sec.Clinton: Heard a lot about
me; I’ll think about you. Children. Even the odds. Caucus for me.
Sanders: This country has the
wealth; no healthcare; childhood poverty. Bring political revolution.
