Clinton is the most hawkish of the three so no doubt she'll win the foreign policy argument.

O'Malley said Afghanistan is safer because of the U.S. war.

Sanders is right that America absolutely had a hand in destabilizing Iraq and leading to the rise of ISIS... but this may not be the best time for him to go along that route.

It's pretty incredible remembering that this is the same party which seemed so vehemently against war in the Middle East in 2004 and 2008. Totally different policies being talked about now.

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.

Yes, because the only means to fight terrorism is total nuclear annihilation.

They were against the Iraq War. They all supported Afghanistan.

Now they seem to be totally for going back into Iraq to fight a different terrorist group, no?

Looks like that's it for foreign policy. Sanders seemed totally out of his league.
If this debate is going to be remembered for anything, it'll be Sanders handing the argument to Clinton.

Sanders much better with economic issues, but not sure if it's enough to recover.

How dare Sanders say working a 40-hour week means you shouldn't live in poverty?!

O'Malley and Sanders totally right.
The economy does well when people can afford spend money. Consumption requires a disposable income.

Sanders: "Clinton is indebted to Wall Street; they pay her millions!"
Clinton: "But women and 9/11!"

So I've just watched this vaguely. Who's winning?


3-Way Tie right now, in my opinion

I just got home did I miss anything good or did they just bash Republicans for the last hour and a half?

Bernie floundered on foreign policy but came back pretty well.
Clinton did very well, then slipped when Wall Street came up.
O'Malley had a great first half, now seems to be getting ready for a nap.

Yes, please lower interest rates on student loans. That would be much appreciated.

O'Malley is a decent candidate. Probably would have done better than Dukakis in '88.

Clinton with the best closing statement.
(Not-so) clever use of pronouns when referring to the president.
