Clinton and Sanders are both good about spinning answers that don't actually answer questions and at co-opting each other's questions to get their best optics. They're also good at staying on message, even when it doesn't answer the question they were asked.
I think the moderators really did try to do a good job and ask some specific and pertinent questions. Whether that made any difference, I don't know. It's frustrating to me to keep hearing about Bill Clinton's presidency, and Barack Obama's presidency, for example, in the answers and discussions.
I think Clinton came off better in the gun debate section, but that's not unexpected.
I was surprised, and Anderson Cooper pointed it out, that now Hillary Clinton is also calling for Governor Snyder to go. That was a Sanders thing right up until this debate.
It's fun to turn off the sound and just watch the hand gestures. No, really, you should try it.
In general, Clinton gets to specific answers more quickly if not more often than Sanders.
This isn't really changing any of my opinions, although I suppose anything makes me more informed about this whole thing.

My thing with a Snyder resignation/recall/whatever is that it wouldn't change anything and might delay some of the processes regarding getting money/communication/whatever where it needs to go. It wouldn't trigger a new election, his LG would just take over. Snyder's further political career is over, so let him finish his term.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I think recalls are a waste of time and resources almost all of the time.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm pretty sure neither thinks it would happen. It just sounds good. Although, I think Sanders might actually believe in a sort of buck stops here responsibility thing. It's just that it was such a change for Clinton to suddenly say she also thought Snyder should go that Anderson Cooper called her on it and then she was stuck.
