On The Clock: Clinton Gets The Most Speaking Time At Democratic Debate
NPR ^ | 10/13/2015 | Barbara Sprunt

Posted on 10/14/2015 10:35:31 AM PDT by aimhigh

With only five candidates on stage Tuesday night, the presidential candidates had plenty of time to speak compared with the more crowded GOP debates — but it wasn't equal time.

Clinton: 30 min 25 sec
Sanders: 27 min 41 sec
O'Malley: 17 min 08 sec
Webb: 15 min 20 sec
Chafee: 9 min 05 sec

I'm convinced Hillary got the questions early.

Of course she did. She answered as if she had them memorized. She lacked spontaneity and credibility.

Under the rules, if one candidate mentioned another, the other got to respond. I noticed the other candidates mentioning Hillary over and over, just to give her more speaking time. What a charade.

How can those guys just sit there and take this obvious set-up?

She was given 15 more minutes to speak than Webb. That is inexcusable with so few candidates.

Half way through I was pretty sure she knew the questions beforehand.

The only reason that Webb got as much time as he did is because he kept making the point that he wasn’t getting as much time as everyone else. Cooper still kept trying to cut him off.

THAT was obvious, IMO

Once the thing got started, though .... focus should have shifted to Webb

If the dems want to win, they have to steal

Already they have illegals and dead people, but even with that, I think Trump has started a snowball

The dem's only hope is to steal republicans .... and Jim Webb did an ACE job of making sense ..... American sense

cripplecreek made the statement earlier today that Webb sounded like he had at least visited America once (or words to that effect)

Prepare for poll watching and outright theft .... they're too stupid to understand their own precariousness.

It’s beginning to look like Martin O’Malley could be the nominee. He is photogenic and personable and to the left of Clinton but not as batsh*t crazy as Saunders. Right out of central casting for the primaries.

Hillary also was given center stage and the important last position during the self introductions.

Agreed and the Bernie Sanders comment about her email scandal was so obviously planned and scripted.

If this reincarnation of Jezebel becomes our president, Christians will need to devise a plan to “come out from this Babylon” and divorce ourselves from its tentacles. If churches really fed the poor, took care of the sick, and showed kindness to the broken-hearted as Jesus directs them to, government would have fewer opportunities to steal elections by offering the needy “Free Stuff.”

How many minutes did her haughty cackling consume? Worse than Obola ...

Of course she did. If I was Cooper, I would be pissed she didn't at least pause for a couple of seconds before answering, like maybe she was thinking the question over. I almost expected her to start answering before the question was asked.
