Hillary and Bernie showing some passion so far going after each other. Mods doing a pretty good job of staying out of it.

One thing that jumped out at me again was Hillary going after Bernie for voting for the derivatives act which she said crashed the economy. Of course Hillary didn't mention, nor did Bernie, that it was her husband who signed it into law.

Bernie called Hillary part of the establishment. Hillary responded saying she's a woman and thus can't be part of the establishment and basically implied it was a sexist comment. Maybe a woman can answer if it's sexist. But if someone is a FLOTUS, Senator and Secretary of State it seems pretty hard not to be the establishment.
 
They are getting a little hot.....almost Trumplike.....

Notice how Hillary would NOT AGREE to release transcripts of her speeches at Goldman Sachs ....wonder what she said that she doesn't want the public to hear....
 
Bernie said the business of Wall St is fraud. Ok, who should companies turn to when they want to sell stock or bonds then?
 
She is above the law...shes a Democrat

Remember this one....???
A conservative watchdog group is calling for a new federal investigation into Hillary Clinton's actions during her time as secretary of state.

This time, the Democratic presidential front-runner is accused of giving special government access to an investor in a deep-sea mining company due to his ties to Clinton's son-in-law, hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky.

The group, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), filed a complaint with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Monday, alleging that Clinton "gave a private company special access to the State Department based upon the company's relationships with Secretary Clinton's family members and donors to the Clinton Foundation."

The complaint, first obtained by TIME, comes two weeks after one of Clinton's court-ordered email releases showed that she asked a senior State Department official to follow up on a special request from Mezvinsky, the husband of her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
In a May 2012 email, the investor, Harry Siklas, asked Mezvinsky to connect him with Clinton or other State Department officials "to discuss mining and the current legal issues and regulations."

Three months later, according to State Department emails, Clinton forwarded Siklas' note to then-deputy secretary of state Thomas Nides, writing, "Could you have someone follow up on this request which was forwarded to me?" Nides replied that he would "get on it."

Liar. She said she's looking into it.
 
Interesting seeing Maddow hug both Sanders and Clinton after the debate. Anyone ever see a mod hug the contestants before?
 
Rachel Maddow is simply a very lovable person. My daughter-in-law says that she would go gay for Rachel!!!!!

I'm not big into this 'establishment' 'anti-establishment' thing but if Hillary says it's sexist to call her establishment I'd be curious to know how many anti-establishment types Goldman Sachs pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to hear speak?
 
Not even one thread stated by lefties about the Dem. debate.....why is that ?

The republican debates produced hundreds of posts......the Dem debate produced one thread stated by a conservative.

Selling stocks and bonds etc... is one thing. But Wall St. is corrupt as hell.

1) Short selling, they need to make it mandatory that all firms require a stockholder to 'opt in' to allowing their shares to be sold short. Some firms do this, most do not.

2) Habitual short sellers like Kyle Bass get away with posting erroneous BS and profiting from it. Most recent case... UDF

3) It is not coincidence that every time the Fed talks of raising rates that the market tanks. The big banks profit far too much from the lower interest rate environment where they can borrow at Fed Funds rate and then use the money to buy back Treasury bonds and lock in the spread.

There is a lot more that needs to be cleaned up. Unfortunately Wall St. owns both parties... especially Hillary Clinton.

I still see a difference between saying the business of Wall St is fraud and saying there are practices on Wall St that need to be cleaned up.

The GOP race is infinitely more exciting this year. And there weren't hundreds of threads about the GOP debate.

I thought the Dem debate was interesting, though. More passion than I've usually seen from Hillary.

Perhaps... but there is a lot of fraudlent bullshit that happens on Wall St. It doesn't mean its all bad, but there is more bad than good at this point. Especially with the lining of the two parties pockets.
