Can anybody actually imagine Sanders winning a general election, regardless of if you agree with him?

Against the current GOP frontrunners? I think it's certainly possible.

Totally agree with that.

[Bigby]

Hillary thinks we're goldfish and reminds us that she doesn't like Republicans.

[Reginald]

Did Chafee even prepare for this? Almost a serious question.

[Lyin' Steve]

The way O'Malley said "The National, Rifle, Association" was absolutely perfect.

War Hero Webb implies that he killed someone. FF

Possible =/= What you want.

True. Whoever the Dem nominee will be, I think they'll have an uphill battle.
At least Sanders can ride the anti-establishment wave.

Ethical standards don't win you elections, Chafs. Sorry.

Now that is possible there. I still think Sanders would lose, but he would have that advantage.

[Higgs]

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

Which country on that map has the strongest economy?

Norway

lol, wanna elaborate on that

No paid leave for mothers? FREEEDOMMMM

His argument was that Norway has the strongest economy, still waiting for elaboration on that

I think he's snorting coke on commercial breaks

[dudeabides]

Chafee's closing = same as opening

It's really not out of the realm of possibility to see him winning against a Carson or Trump.

[Pyro]

Chafee loves Facebook, confirmed.

Like the uphill battle that Romney was. I don't think it will be anything unusually difficult.

[Likely Voter]

I've heard of the happy warrior but Webb seems to be the unhappy warrior. The man needs to learn to smile, the only time he smiled this debate when was talking about some VC he killed.

[Reginald]

He's legitimately embarrassing. DWS will permanently blacklist him from now on if she has any sense.

ETA: Throw Webb in that mix as well.

[dudeabides]

Jim Webb is too conservative for this radically left-wing party

[Crumpets]

Just for the record, Hillary got the most new Facebook likes during the debate, but Webb was the one with the greatest percent increase.

[dudeabides]

What we heard, Governor, was a bunch of empty promises that would lead to greater economic decline and a larger national debt.

The angry old socialist vs. the calm and collected candidate which polls amazingly, I wonder who would win

[MisSkeptic]

Yes, but what about Chafee? Did his love for Facebook give him a boost?

[ProgressiveCanadian]

News to me.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

O'Malley is pretty slick. Will be interesting to see how he polls after this.
