The Dems

Thankfully, the Dems scheduled only six debates. Dream on. That got bucked up to nine. Delusionals Chafee and Webb made it through the first. O’Malley until the fifth. Then it was all Hillary and Bernie.

Readers will be relieved that each face-off will not be as detailed as the Republican debates, because for the most part, moderators didn’t need whips and chairs (and in Megyn Kelly’s case, pepper spray and a Taser).

Debate One:

Las Vegas.

Oct. 13, 2015.

The first debate had Clinton, Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee.

To the surprise of many, the debate was not a sleep aid as predicted. It will be remembered for Bernie Sanders, when moderator Anderson Cooper kept after Clinton for her private server, saying that it “may not be great politics. But I think the secretary is right, and that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.”

Let’s not overlook how she handled Chafee’s calling into question her credibility and ethics over the email issue. When asked if she wanted to respond, Clinton flatly said, “No.” In many ways, that one exchange was emblematic of Chafee’s entire run. He wasn’t significant enough to even deserve a response.

Poor Chafee. Later in the debate, the guy was in front of a national audience admitting he voted for repealing Glass-Steagall, a 1933 law that separated commercial and investment banking. Many analysts point to the repeal as the catalyst for the economic crisis of 2008. That’s an even worse version of the nightmare we’ve all had where you show up to school only to realize you’re completely naked. But instead of all your classmates pointing and laughing at your little ambassador, they’re accusing you of nearly ruining the United States of America. Chafee offered that it “was my very first vote” and basically had no idea what he was voting for. Not unlike having the entire school see your gigglestick, there is no coming back from that. Chafee was done.

Webb complained a lot about not getting equal time. He even implored Sanders to say his name so that he could respond. When it was Webb’s turn, he spent a lot of it giving long wonky answers. When asked which enemy he was proudest to have made, Webb got very literal saying, “I’d have to say the enemy soldier that threw the grenade that wounded me. But he’s not around right now to talk to.” So, Jim Webb killed a guy.
