CNN Las Vegas, NV Democratic debate @9pm ET **live commentary thread**

[Lyin' Steve]

Sanders looks like he has his shoulders growing out of his ears.

Stand up straight dude.  Learn from Webb and O'Malley.

[Bigby]

Hillary Clinton supports minimum wage? Well, she doesn't care about small businesses anyway. Considering my dad runs a small business, the last thing he needs is to have the payroll of his workers doubled.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Bernie is a fraud. Ron eradicated every debate and had a variety of quotable lines in 2012. Even Rand did better in his first debate. Progressives seriously need a younger, more polished voice for them. Oh and Kucinich>Sanders

Kucinich was crazy

Stand up straight dude.  Learn from Webb and O'Malley.

He's 74

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Cause you know Bernie, every single Republican in this country is anti-climate change.....LOL

Name a Republican member of congress who is in favor of actually doing anything to address it.

[DavidB.]

"Vote for me because I'm a superoutsider because I'm a woman"

Well, the same trick worked in 2008 as well. Wonder what comes after this.

[Gass3268]

Bernie was on point with Climate Change.

How dare people afford food AND rent?!

[Higgs]

Clinton: "It'll work because we'll make the wealthy pay for it"

The solution has been there all along!

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Hillary: Big government is great, but don't you dare use government to defend innocent life!

[Reginald]

Clinton is winning this so hard. Sanders has had his moments but HRC is knocking it out of the park for the most part in terms of what will get replayed ad nauseam over the next week.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

And Clinton even if you were to tax the wealthiest people at 100% it still wouldn't scratch the surface of the problems you need to cut the spending.

Webb is 69.  Your spine doesn't collapse when you turn 70.

Min. Wage creates a surplus of labor which leads to more unemployment. Earned Income Tax Credit would be much better than Minimum Wage.

[Green Line]

If Bernie can't even stand up straight, how in the world will he stand up to Putin?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

It's ridiculous what company the US is in here.

Does winning from sucking the least even really count?

Agree on the EITC

[Lyin' Steve]

Hillary:  "We know we can afford it because we're going to make the rich people pay for it!"

not a paraphrase.  That's about the depth of economic theory in this party right now.

I agree. Any politician, regardless of their views and party alignment, need to realize that the economy is not a simple 1.2.3... fix. You're going to need experience with multiple topics like employment, economic stability, etc. It all sounds nice that a candidate will go out there and say they support the middle class. But you have to know where we come from if you want to help us.

[Green Line]

It's ridiculous what company the US is in here.

Which country on that map has the largest economy?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Clinton once again refuses to take positions.

Republicans like you don't determine who won the debate just like Atlas Democrats who thought Kasich won didn't determine who won the Republican debates.
