Risky for Bernie to not devote his entire opening statement to national security/terrorism/ISIS. Pivot to talk of the 1% seemed off.

Salvador Allende gets a shoutout. Wasn't expecting that.

Wait I am sincerely confused did Bernie even elaborate on saying terrorism is directly the result of climate change?

It is a complicated link but comes from the belief that the drought in Syria led to increase of unemployment and number of angry young men fueling instability.

While the argument can be made, as a one off comment in a debate it seems thin at best. I think it was a mistake for him to say it.

ISIS apologist calls to defund our military and remove our only means of fighting ISIS: our nuclear arsenal.

AMAZING! I never thought an elected politician would activate such a position.

please stop with this 'ISIS apologist' trolling

O'Malley just learned a lesson in capitalism. "Shut up Marty, and now these messages from our commercial sponsors"

This one upping eachother on minimum wage feels a lot like the GOPers one upping eachother on tax cut rates

LOL at the moderators taking random tweets from Twitter to bash Hillary. Their being in the tank against her is seriously cringeworthy. At least TRY to hide your bias.

Hillary is the front-runner and perceived inevitable candidate so it makes sense for them to be tougher on her. And she is used to it. Remember the SNL parody back in 2008? "Senator Obama, are you comfortable? Can we get you a pillow?"

It is interesting that Eisenhower got name checked in both a GOP and a Dem debate within days of eachother.

O'Malley just seems too robotic and rehearsed. He makes Hillary look like an improv comic.

20 states don't have Medicaid expansions, but Bernie named South Carolina. Smooth.

Well, it's the first state to vote that didn't expand it.

that was my point.
