Putting aside the differences in policy ideas, there are some other huge differences between the content of repub and dem debates.
1) Substance and facts. Say what you want about democratic ideas, but at least the dem debates are guided by factual information and substance. Sure, a couple of statements presented by the three candidates may be misleading to the actual truth (every politician does that), but at least they attempt to use facts and statistics to guide their platforms. These debates contain real substance and nuance to the issues at hand.
Republicans on the other hand actively avoid using facts and substance in their debates. Instead they rely on catchy one liners to appeal to the emotions of their knuckle-dragging base. Either that or they flat out lie, primarily to attack one another.
2) Civility. There is a great deal of civility and respect in the dem debates. Sure last night's debate was more heated than the previous dem debates, but there was still an attempt for the candidates to find common ground. They didn't resort to petty childish back and forth like Trump and Cruz did In their previous debate. Bernie himself made sure to steer clear of making Bill Clinton's personal life an issue in this election. Trump on the other hand will say just about anything to tear down his opponents. He is an embarrassment to the political process.
