Sanders - Clinton go Head to Head Tonight on MSNBC

MSNBC is hosting a "first" head-to-head debate between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

They are two finalists (as of now) for the Democrat nomination for President.

It's happening at 9pm EST at the University of New Hampshire.

Bernie needs to be strong and somehow deflect Hillary's side shows.

Bernie is ahead in the polls for the N.H. primaries next week.

He needs to talk "ahead" of that probable victory as he faces a massive onslaught of Hillary support in upcoming primaries soon.

Can he do it?

Can he place Hillary outside her comfort zone effectively?

The issues are clear but we shall see if MSNBC "allows" anything other than the usual generalizations.

Who does MSNBC favor do you think?

First Read: A Party Divided Going Into Tonight's Debate

DURHAM, NH -- Tonight's Democratic debate -- the first one-on-one showdown between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders -- comes 1) after the thisclose race in Iowa, 2) five days before Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, and 3) as the party appears more divided than at any point during the Obama Era.

Who is a progressive? (Sanders yesterday charged that anyone who takes money from Wall Street and has a Super PAC doesn't meet the standard, while Clinton replied that Sanders' purity test would disqualify many in her party.)

I saw a DNC drinking game.

Whenever either one starts talking about a "free" government program, you get to drink someone else's drink.

I might tune in just to see them try to be more "progressive" than the other.

That's like taking a drink during any speech from a Republican any time they mention God, terrorism, Democrats, and Obama.

It doesn't take long to get hammered.

Debate is about to start. Let's hope we get some fireworks.

Is it me or has MSNBC flipped Sanders? Or is it just because they're in NH?

Flipped? Do you mean support?

Man the media are really pushing this who's a progressive who isn't bull#. Media doing media things and blowing things out of proportion.

I'm trying to picture Bernie in the Oval Office.

Now Hillary's talking. Need to grab the trash can...

I wonder if Bill gave her that pearl necklace.

Q1 for HIllary deflections = 1 answers = 0

we should keep a tally?

Good line from Bern..."Well, I haven't run for President before."

Did you notice that annoyed look on Hillary's face when Bernie got the applause?

Didn't take long for angry Hillary to show up...

Bernie came back fiercely to HRC's babble speak..

Sanders: "My committee wrote the affordable care act."

Hillary: "I'm a progressive who gets things done."
