Re: 2016 Election
 
Couple of thoughts.

I thought the gun conversation was riveting and they both dug in.

This is the most I've seen Clinton pressed so much on Bill's record from the 90s - both from Sanders and the moderators/questioners. I'm not convinced that's actually fair but I'm surprised it's taken this long.

She did very well on both scores, especially liability for gun manufacturers. It really is absurd that Congress was bribed by the gun lobby into giving gun manufacturers a level of protection that no other industry has.

I think anything she said in the '90's is fair game, but it's a stretch to hold her husband's policies against her.

Here's an exhaustive list of detailed explanations:

-She's bad.

-She's terrible.

-She's horrible.

-She's awful.

-She's really not good.

As you can see, a lot of thought goes into this sort of thing.

Might want to listen to what she says, Bernie did and called her on it.

Regardless, it's an absurd notion gun manufacturers should be liable for homicides and would set a dangerous precedent. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea is a retard

That is not what Clinton proposed; she wants to repeal the law that gave gun manufacturers carte blanche immunity.

Unable to debate without throwing an insult in?

I thought so too.

Guns are a clear delineation between the two candidates.

I believe that she's being held to a higher standard than anybody else insofar as Bill's record goes. Back in the day, Bernie wasn't even a Democrat and Trump was dabbling in everything.

We're too busy trying to figure out what you're saying.

"Compare the substance of this debate with what happened on the Republican stage last week".

Yep.

Much easier to have a debate on substance when there's only 2 candidates

That suggests every word she utters is a problem for you, which doesn't seem reasonable. I'm not asking for a transcript of everything she's ever said, I'm asking for a few examples of what she would specifically do that bothers you so much.

You're talking about Trump

The others have lots of substance but you obviously have to take the blinkers off to appreciate that
