Saturday Night’s Democratic Debate, from Conservative Twitter
Here are some of the highlights from Saturday night’s Democratic presidential debate, as seen on conservative Twitter.
Early, Bernie Sanders tried to change the subject in record time.
Did anyone have a stopwatch to see just how long it took @BernieSanders to jump from Paris to the evil rich people? #DemDebate

Bernie Sanders pivoted in a nanosecond from ISIS to ranting about the 1%. #DemDebate

So, uh, Bernie responds to Paris by discussing domestic economy and campaign finance reform. That was…really bad.

Hillary Clinton seemed to have a new favorite euphemism.
Clinton used term "jihadist" twice in first few seconds of her opening statement
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 15, 2015
Mark it down. "Jihadist" is the word Clinton has come up with to replace "Islamic terrorist."

Neither Martin O’Malley or Hillary was impressing when it came to foreign policy.
O'Malley's going to pull out a guitar and sing "You've Got a Friend." #DemDebate

How can u take a person seriously about terror who can't even protect her own email, or blamed terror on a video?
— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) November 15, 2015
And Bernie Sanders had an interesting theory about terrorism.
"Climate change is directly related to growth of terrorism" ~ @BernieSanders #DemDebate THESE PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN CHARGE OF OUR MILITARY.
— Sarah Rumpf (@rumpfshaker) November 15, 2015
It's quite obvious why Sanders fought so hard to disallow foreign policy questions 2nite. He's not prepared #DemDebate

Clinton’s thoughts on Libya were surprising, to say the least.
.@HillaryClinton still insisting Libya was a success. #Warmonger #DemDebate
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) November 15, 2015
Hillary thinks we should help our friends in Libya. How ironic. #DemDebate
— jon gabriel (@exjon) November 15, 2015
And she still refused to say “Islam.”
Revolting to watch @HillaryClinton desperately try not to say "Radical Islam"
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) November 15, 2015
Blood is running in the streets of Paris but she just…can't…say…it.
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) November 15, 2015
Hillary Clinton refuses to condemn radical Islam in the debate tonight. #Stunning
— Erik Telford (@BlameTelford) November 15, 2015
Hillary, who listed Republicans as her enemies, won't say "radical Islam" to accurately describe civilization's actual enemies.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) November 15, 2015
If you can't articulate who america's enemies are by name, you disqualify yourself as potential commander-in-chief.
— Duane Patterson (@Radioblogger) November 15, 2015
And then, things got even weirder.
“A majority of my donors are women,” she said, as if it were relevant and not simple sexism baiting.
— Sonny Bunch (@SonnyBunch) November 15, 2015
Hold on. Wall Street funds Hillary Clinton to thank her for supporting them after 9/11?! LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
— Karol Markowicz (@karol) November 15, 2015
Hillary Clinton defends relationship with Wall Street by invoking… 9-11
— Alex Pappas (@AlexPappas) November 15, 2015
As for Iraq, she shrugged it off. Literally.
Hillary, literally: ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) November 15, 2015
Clinton just did the " ¯_(ツ)_/¯" IRL when asked about Iraq.
— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) November 15, 2015
Martin O’Malley pushed Clinton hard on gun control.
"You've been on three sides of this."-O'Malley on Hillary's gun-control perspective. OOOOOOOOOOOH.
— Karol Markowicz (@karol) November 15, 2015
#DemDebate O'Malley is daring to rebuke Her Majesty on guns. #FutureLibyanAmbassador
— IGotOverMachoGrande (@smitty_one_each) November 15, 2015
Time to talk healthcare!
Five years after Obamacare is signed into law, the Democrats are talking about how bad the health care system is.
— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) November 15, 2015
Bernie: "Medicare for all, single payer system is the way we should go." #DemDebate
— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) November 15, 2015
#DemDebate Bernie, refusing to commit Economic suicide with Medicare expansion is just common sense, not ideology #ObamaCare #IsARiverOfLies
— IGotOverMachoGrande (@smitty_one_each) November 15, 2015
Clinton apparently wants to take credit for Seal Team Six taking out Bin Laden.
LOL Hillary, you can't take credit for killing bin Laden, that's Obama's jam #demdebate
— Sarah Rumpf (@rumpfshaker) November 15, 2015
Hillary acting like she took out Bin Laden herself. lulz
— Ellen L. Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) November 15, 2015
HILLARY KILLED BIN LADEN
— Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 15, 2015
Maybe having the debate on a Saturday night wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
Democrat Debate takeaways 1: No wonder @DWStweets doesn't want big audience for these. 2: Your Saturday night probably > my Saturday night.
— Rory Cooper (@rorycooper) November 15, 2015
At last, it was over.
Sweet mercy, that was ROUGH. #DemDebate
— jon gabriel (@exjon) November 15, 2015
You'll never get this Saturday night back. Remember that. Always.
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) November 15, 2015
Hillary Clinton: I have been near major decisions
— TheModernMan (@AceofSpadesHQ) November 15, 2015
Lesson from the #DemDebate: Big government isn't working. What we need is bigger government! That'll do the trick! #Insanity
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) November 15, 2015
Did the debate change your mind?
