I believe that is a requirement for Clinton...They won't field questions that don't have scripted replies, hence why she comes across as so rigid and formulaic...
I watched a good portion of the debate. Queen Clinton won easily just as the establishment wants it. Bernie is nothing more than a plant so that Clinton doesn't look completely radical left commie. O'Malley and Chaffee are running for cabinet positions. Webb? I don't know why the hell he's running. Much too sane and rational to even be considered. Unless someone comes up with film of Clinton eating fetus parts, she's their candidate. Let the coronation begin.
They were persistent. If a candidate sidestepped a question, it was repeated. Each candidate was persistently questioned on his or her apparent weaknesses, no less than the Republican candidates were questioned during their debate. I know because I watched all of it.
Cooper did go back and repeat questions that were dodged. The problem with the debate was that the questions, except to Jim Webb, were very sympathetic or designed to let them easily swat away perceived weaknesses.
The deeper we get in debt and the more precarious the country's financial situation, the more free stuff they offer. It's going parabolic.
