"I just want to say hi Bernie." --- "Yeah good, okay." The whole thing is very odd as it looks like to me they think they're both telling the truth. 12 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: Not to worry Liz. It may have been on national TV but only 12 people were watching. 7.3 million apparently. More than double the population of Iowa. 1

But how many of those 7.3 Million were in Iowa or in California/New York/Illinois/New England? 7.3 Million. To put that into context: 134.7 Million people voted in 2016. 7.3 Million, or 5.4% of voters watched the Democrat debate 65.8 Million people voted for Clinton in 2016. 7.3 Million, 11% of Democrat voters watched the Democrat debate 3

It'll skyrocket once the nominee is chosen and the presidential debates happen. That's why the media spin and the headlines that follow are usually more important than the debate itself. Most malleable voters start paying attention to the two possible candidates after labor day of the election year. Edited January 16, 2020 by Doc Brown 1

They pretty much called each other liars during the debate,. She can't hold back long enough to have the discussion another time or just let it roll off her back? Some people might see that as emotional, reckless or impulsive. I think she was probably planning on an open mike and hoping to get more. The part that looks bad for Sanders is an inability to process and think on his feet. He should have been able to be polite to Steyer. And the response to Warren should have been "For Pete's sake Liz you called yourself Native American for 40 years and got caught. Everyone on the planet already knows you're a liar". Her little "gotcha" with the 30 years versus 31 years was a setup he fell into because he is a doddering old commie. It wasn't too classy on her part though. 1

She’s trying desperately to be perfect. That ship sailed. The best part of that clip was Steyer trying to shake Bernie’s hand and getting treated like a shitheel. 2 1

Not at democrat debates. They would have crayon eaters like Tibs, aka Kyle Jurek ranting like the lunatics they are. Have to create a facade of sanity to fool the sheeple. 1
