Video: Taiwanese Animators’ Take On Democratic Debate

I always start to pass over these videos from the Taiwanese Animators, but then I watch and remember how funny and creative these folks are.

Definitely worth watching. What’s amazing is how they turn these vids around so quick. All this “storytelling” is directly from last night’s Democratic debate.

Here’s the text of the narration (which is subtitled on the video):

The first Democratic debate wasn’t quite the bloodbath we had hoped for, but it was pretty darn good. Hillary Clinton stood strong and Bernie Sanders made sure people were “feeling the Bern.”

As for the other guys, Jim Webb spent most of his energy begging for air time, Martin O’Malley faded away with a plan for 2050 and Lincoln Chafee (remember him?) was there too. Most of the questions and attention were directed at party favorite Hillary Clinton and top contender Bernie Sanders. Candidates remained focused on the bigger issues, for the most part.

When Chafee returned to his Republican roots and chided Clinton over her email scandal, Sanders eschewed the opportunity to land a low-blow. Instead, he said he’s sick and tired of hearing about her damn emails. That drew a standing ovation from the crowd. Sanders wasn’t as kind to Clinton regarding her vote for the Iraq war in 2002.

Regarding Syria, Clinton said we need to stand up against Vladimir Putin’s bullying. She also took shots at Sanders’ record on gun control. “It’s time our country stood up to the NRA,” Clinton said.

Sanders stressed the importance of standing up to Wall Street’s “casino capitalism.” He even suggested Wall Street controls Congress, not the other way around.

Anderson Cooper tried passing the legalization dutchie to Clinton, joking that everyone in the room had smoked weed at some point. Clinton refused take a position.

How Taiwanese Animators Viewed The GOP Debate

From the hysterical Taiwanese Animators:

America tuned in last night to watch 10 Republican hopefuls explain why they should be president.

The top polling candidates were invited to participate, including pack leader and billionaire businessman Donald Trump.

Moderator Megyn Kelly hit Trump for calling women fat pigs. Trump said that was true of Rosie O’Donnell and he didn’t care if Kelly didn’t like his comments about women.

Second-in-the-polls Jeb Bush said he should lead the GOP because his nickname is VETO Corleone in Florida while ninth-in-the-polls Chris Christie said he should lead because he cut New Jersey’s taxes and balanced the budget.

Rand Paul said he would end warrantless surveillance and that prompted Chris Christie to attack, who said Rand Paul was naive about terrorists and the tools needed to fight them.

But all eyes were on Trump, who was asked why he had donated money to Hillary Clinton. Trump said he donates to politicians to call in favors such as demanding Hillary Clinton to attend his weddings.

Pressed by Chris Wallace about his four bankruptcies, Trump was unapologetic about using the laws to build $10 billion in wealth.

At the end of the debate, God used Facebook video to ask the candidates whether they hear him.

And despite all that was fired at Trump nothing would stick. Will the billionaire extend his lead in the polls?
