I find it rather offensive you feel a choice to marry defines a woman and that choice is the only choice by which you judge one.

Highlight:

I think the forum last night was overall pretty fair and actually fun to watch. [View all] boston bean Nov 2015 OP

Bernie got a softball interview, O'Malley and HRC... JaneyVee Nov 2015 #1

Yep. I enjoyed the hard hitting questions to Hillary that involved Vinca Nov 2015 #4

Oh, please. She wasn't there to talk about her hair R B Garr Nov 2015 #47

I'm sorry. I watched the entire thing and all of the candidates got important questions. Vinca Nov 2015 #51

So you think Bernie would have rather talked about his hair R B Garr Nov 2015 #52

Oh, give it a rest. The faux outrage is getting old. Vinca Nov 2015 #53

Okay, so you can't be bothered with answering if you R B Garr Nov 2015 #56

You obviously didn't even watch the program. Vinca Nov 2015 #57

Yes your post #4 says you enjoyed the hard-hitting R B Garr Nov 2015 #58

I feel sorry for you. You have no sense of humor. Vinca Nov 2015 #59

HA, this is always the answer for you Bernie people R B Garr Nov 2015 #64

I give up. Bernie baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, Hillary good. Happy? Vinca Nov 2015 #66

This was about the Presidential forum questions. R B Garr Nov 2015 #67

I don't have msnbc but PowerToThePeople Nov 2015 #2

Well neither Bernie nor Martin are spouses of a President, so I think you may be extra sensitive. lonestarnot Nov 2015 #3

Yeah but sarge43 Nov 2015 #28

I tend to agree but I think she was using photos from an approximate age. MH1 Nov 2015 #5

How about her commencement speech at Wellesley College? boston bean Nov 2015 #6

Exactly! n/t livetohike Nov 2015 #8

That also would have been appropriate but the photo used lostnfound Nov 2015 #15

I said she did fine in her answer, but that wasn't the point. boston bean Nov 2015 #17

she was a staffer for the Watergate Committee dsc Nov 2015 #16

Another good one, her on the Watergate committee? boston bean Nov 2015 #20

Didn't she get fired from that committee? askew Nov 2015 #60

only if you believe the likes of Limbaugh dsc Nov 2015 #68

She worked on the McGovern campaign in 1972. DURHAM D Nov 2015 #21

Another good one that could have been used! Thanks! boston bean Nov 2015 #23

Really good points boston bean. I watched the forum twice and was stunned that Rachel chose that livetohike Nov 2015 #7

Thanks! It really bothered me that they chose a wedding picture. boston bean Nov 2015 #9

Rachel should have shown each one their wedding picture. I would have been interested to hear their livetohike Nov 2015 #13

Good point. Why not show them all their wedding pictures? boston bean Nov 2015 #18

The media is obviously having some difficulty with a female running for president. Laser102 Nov 2015 #29

I cringed at that too. That pissed me off. R B Garr Nov 2015 #48

All of them were shown pictures of themselves in their 20s. thesquanderer Nov 2015 #10

A picture from her work with the McGovern campaign in 1972 DURHAM D Nov 2015 #22

Yes, that would have worked (n/t) thesquanderer Nov 2015 #24

it was an interesting question to ask and the answer was fine lostnfound Nov 2015 #11

She was asked if she was thinking something, not what she was thinking. boston bean Nov 2015 #14

I actually think this may have worked to her advantage thesquanderer Nov 2015 #25

I half agree with you. Armstead Nov 2015 #12

wow, that really is surprising treestar Nov 2015 #19

The bottom line is that Rachel thinks more like DURHAM D Nov 2015 #26

Bright but not smart? Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #27

That's really unfair Dem2 Nov 2015 #30

And there you have it. That is the perfect and succinct explanation. nt msanthrope Nov 2015 #36

I was disappointed in Rachel. One of the first times R B Garr Nov 2015 #49

Cannot argue against your point ejbr Nov 2015 #31

Thanks! boston bean Nov 2015 #50

ehhh not sexist retrowire Nov 2015 #32

And the question to O'Malley and Sanders showcasing their boston bean Nov 2015 #33

The short of it. IMO SmittynMo Nov 2015 #34

It was very interesting, and played out better than I expected in advance. And I'm glad... George II Nov 2015 #35

They should ask the same exact questions of rethugs and when they complain show them the videos kimbutgar Nov 2015 #37

I'm a Bernie supporter, but I too was surprised by the wedding picture. Maineman Nov 2015 #38

Thanks for bringing this up... TDale313 Nov 2015 #39

That wasn't what was asked. boston bean Nov 2015 #40

I wondered about it but thought Bill Clinton is the elephant in the room riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #41

The purpose of the questions that two were asked were flattering. boston bean Nov 2015 #42

Understood riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #43

It's impossible to talk about Hillary's career without Bill in the picture (so to speak). Avalux Nov 2015 #44

Was she jealous tht he became president and not her?? boston bean Nov 2015 #45

I completely agree... Spazito Nov 2015 #46

Whether you like it or not, marrying Bill was a choice that framed her life. Avalux Nov 2015 #54

Former Senator Clinton is an accomplished woman in her own right... Spazito Nov 2015 #55

She wouldn't have been elected Senator in NY or become SoS without first being askew Nov 2015 #61

You have absolutely no way of knowing whether she would have been elected as Senator in New York... Spazito Nov 2015 #62

Anyone with a brain realizes that she only won because she was married to Bill. askew Nov 2015 #63

Wow, very insulting of you... Spazito Nov 2015 #65

She was valedictorian at Wellesley and got a law degree from Yale. pnwmom Nov 2015 #71

You don't know what kind of support HE got from HER over the decades. pnwmom Nov 2015 #70

Then how come the other two candidates weren't shown pictures of their wedding days? pnwmom Nov 2015 #69

If their spouses had been successful and popular presidents, then it would have been appropriate. Avalux Nov 2015 #72

You don't know what other opportunities she or he would have had. pnwmom Nov 2015 #73
