CNN Flint, MI Democratic debate @8pm ET **live commentary thread**

[Landslide Lyndon]

Sanders voted for the Auto Bailout

I have no idea what she's talking about.

He voted against the Bush bailout.

So did Maria Cantwell, Byron Dorgan, Russ Feingold, Debbie Stabenow, Jon Tester, and Ron Wyden.

Are they running for President?

[YPestis25]

Did anybody else see that bizarre Purge commercial?

I love how Sanders is just screaming at Hillary tonight and repeating his one-issue campaign.....remind me again why people like him?

[Gass3268]

Whenever Wall St. comes up Hillary's responses are always so embarrassing and weak. It's always stuff like "I told them to stop being bad! I really strongly suggested they clean up their act!" Come on.

She doesn't want to upset them too bad. She'll need their money in the future.

Because the people that don't hate him with a passion can tell that is obviously not true.

Except he is more than just one issue.

Yes, like when she'll need to compete the GOP funding machine in November.

[Adam Griffin]

He needs to keep it up. He has nothing to lose and even if it makes him look bad, it makes her look bad as well because it brings out that shrill harpy in her that everybody knows and loves. She can't resist. Being an angry old man is part of his appeal. She doesn't enjoy the same advantage.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

Bernie is channeling Rubio, he keeps repeating that he's against Wall Street over and over.

@mmurraypolitics

In sum: Sanders went in to deliver an uppercut on trade; ended up with rough counter-punches by Clinton on auto bailout and Ex-Im

[Lyin' Steve]

I hope someone told Clinton during the break that everytime she taps her chest she hits the button mic.

May as well make use of them.

[Averroës Nix]

I really hope that Clinton gets the smirking under control before the general election debates. Shades of Al Gore's sighs there, and if she has trouble controlling it when Sanders is talking about trade policy, imagine how difficult it will be to maintain restraint while listening to Trump or Cruz carrying on about President Obama's "failure to lead" or whatever.

Stay classy dude.

She'll be funded by the same people funding the Republicans.

And?

[Likely Voter]

WTF is Sanders doing going after Boeing? Does he want to lose Washington state?

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Glad Bernie's finally realizing that being nice doesn't get you anywhere in politics today regardless of political party.

Bernie bro logic.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

So...how many more elections until the Dem party actively seeks to outright ban guns?

[RightBehind]

Bernie is channeling Rubio, he keeps repeating that he's against Wall Street over and over.

She's repeated stuff, too.

[DrScholl]

Clinton folks seem to be getting upset tonight, does that mean Sanders is doing well?

He's acting much more manic than he has in previous debates.

Now they only got name calling. No substance to argue against Sanders.

His over promising speaks for itself, no one needs to argue against it.

Please, of course she has. But he uses them as a crutch.

Hillary uses her sex as a crutch and tries to benefit politically from it.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

That was an awkward silent exchange there
