Someone is just a teensy tiny bit nervous that her former IT guy now has immunity from prosecution. Enter Hillary Clinton, the pandering grandma.
The water crisis in Flint was a big topic, since the debate was taking place in that location to capitalize on the politics of the moment. Hillary wants Governor Snyder (a Republican) to resign for his role in the scandal.
Gov. Snyder should resign or be recalled, but we also need to focus on how to help Flint now. #DemDebatehttps://t.co/kkBo4sViLW

No word on Hillary’s position on the Democrats who have run Flint for 84 years, as Michael Moore (yes, Michael Moore!) reminded everyone.
Flint has voted for Dems for 84 straight yrs. What did it get us? For 18 months Dems remained silent &ignored pleas while Flint was poisoned

Dems in Flint today handing out bottles of water. Bottles? 100,000 people need 20 MILLION 16oz bottles of water EACH DAY! You're not helping
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) March 6, 2016
Moore agrees with removing the governor, but in a rare moment of honesty, he wasn’t willing to let Democrats off the hook.
But you know who didn’t agree with Hillary? Her own campaign spokesman, an hour before the debate.
As usual, #1 Hillary hack @brianefallon slamming Bernie's rational call 4 Snyder to resign as a "nice press release" pic.twitter.com/gx84WcbG4k

Again, not only is Hillary's call for Snyder to resign new, her spox was ridiculing Sanders over it not an hour ago! https://t.co/6qg5nXAS33

Ooooops. I guess Grandma changed her mind while on stage.
She has also decided, in the wake of Flint, to ban lead from everything, everywhere, at all times.
Hillary pledges to remove lead "from everywhere" — water, soil, systems — in 5 years.

I think Hillary just declared war on a natural element. "I'll go after the lead in our pipes, soil, and paint!" #DemDebate #TYTlive #Flint

Apparently, Grandma Hillary is in favor of banning elements from the periodic table.
"I want to get rid of all lead everywhere"-Hillary
Um… Are you going to just remove it from the periodic table?— Joe Freiert (@Stugots24) March 7, 2016
Isn’t that anti-science?
Even the Washington Post has said that Hillary is nuts to think that lead could be wiped out in 5 years. Well, they didn’t say “nuts,” but they were probably thinking it.
I had to write through why Clinton's lead removal proposal simply isn't feasible — perhaps on any timeline. https://t.co/4Ubfzwobo9

Grandma Hillary also thinks that AR-15s are “automatic weapons.”

Powerful? More like delusional.

Shhhhh…. don’t interrupt Grandma’s narrative.
Speaking of which, interrupting Grandma is sexist, Bernie. Didn’t you know that?

Yeah… that was Bernie Sanders talking down to Hillary Clinton. That's terrible optics. Very sexist seeming. #DemDebate

"Excuse me, I'm talking," Sanders tells Clinton in an arguably sexist #DemDebate exchange: https://t.co/eIXgq2NKXs pic.twitter.com/uZ2TdudUOw

But even Democrats thought this card was a bit too much.
As a woman, I feel @BernieSanders treating @HillaryClinton the same as he would a male opponent is the opposite of sexism. #DemDebate

There is nothing more hurtful to the women's movement than cynically using charges of sexism as a campaign tactic #DemDebate #tytlive

So, to recap the debate…
Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary. She will not be denied. She will not be corrected. She will not be questioned. She can say or claim anything she wants without fear of a moderator disagreeing.
And if Bernie Sanders stands in the way of history, then he’s a selfish sexist. Or something.
Joe Miller says: We were listening while driving last night. The email question to Hillary was asked. She went off talking about how much support she has in so many states. I said to my wife, “Wasn’t there an email question in there?” We both laughed. Anderson Cooper would never have let a Republican get away with that. He probably thinks he’s a journalist.
I thought the “What’s your racial blindspot?” was an interesting question. The way I’d answer it is, “I’m sorry, but I was born white. What would you like me to do about it?” I can answer the question for liberals though. The liberal blindspot is that they believe minorities are just sad and will need extra help until the end of time.
It would have been nice and totally unexpected if either Hillary or Bernie had thrown the question back and asked the questioner, “And what is your racial blindspot?”
