Attorney General Debate

In a televised event yesterday evening, Opponents John Cahill and Eric Schneiderman went head to head in a heated battle. In my opinion it was a blood bath, insults were traded, remarks were made, and there were low blows being thrown left and right.

Schneiderman, who is up in the polls by more and 10 points was attacked by Cahill saying he is a lax lawman and that he did not clean up corruption like he had promised. Schneiderman retorted, with numerous prosecutions, drug arrests and a $613 million settlement from JPMorgan Chanse.

Even the moderator Liz Benjamin had to break in and stop the two from from speaking there mind. “Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen?” said Ms. Benjamin, as the two circled around each other. “I would like to move on now.”

Both Mr. Cahill and Mr. Schneiderman shot back with claim after claim of lack of duty, accusations, and harsh debate tactics. Though it did seem like the incumbent was the one being held for trial here. Cahill had his questions, and at one point Schneiderman said "I appreciate your aggressiveness here. Which made the audience chuckle. In all this debate was unlike any debate I've ever seen.
