It's probably not a conspiracy at all. $1,500 tickets means some were likely bought by campaigns.
it's not a conspiracy theory to think that the exorbitantly expensive tickets to the debate would have been bought by/for the wealthy supporters of the billionaire candidate
They booed Bernie when he talked about getting teachers higher wages like...what? Who in the world would boo that?
Yeah maybe the winning strategy is not criticizing the idea of a "revolution" when the guy literally beating you is running on a unabashed platform of "Political Revolution".
Edit: You can see pete looking for pearls to clutch whenever Bernie says "revolution".
It's in the OP. I'm watching it now 2:40 earlier than live right now.
It is a conspiracy theory to say that they were paid to "boo Bernie" though
Nah man, Bernie straight sucks at debating. It seems like he can't properly articulate his messages, and him yelling all the time doesn't help.
Pete is such a disingenuous rat. He's telling CNN that it is the wrong time to be talking about Castro. Guess what? Sanders didn't want to talk about him either! The new oppo which is the old oppo was brought up again and the press kept in pestering him about a complete non-issue.
Who wouldn't want to pay 1500 dollars for a debate on a Tuesday night?
For sure, she's incredible in many regards and has my respect. Easily the best vote if Bernie wasn't running.
I agree, with Klobuchar staying out of the feminist identity politics Warren seems to have taken the reins and is using it to attack Bloomberg, but I don't know how well that is resonating with the overall base - I was shocked to hear they booed Warren for bringing up Bloomberg's NDAs and abortion statements.
Yeah, Bernie just needs to have a sizeable lead as the 2nd place runner. It's hard for someone as left as him to do good in my state when people reelect politicians like Lindsey Graham constantly.
with his lack of minority support i wouldn't be shocked if he was closer to fifth than third in SC
Unfortunately was not able to watch the debates because in-laws are staying over. From what I've gathered:
How does this impact our Lord and savior Bernie?
- Shitshow all around with ineffectual moderators
- Crowd maybe paid off by Bloomberg?
- Not a great debate for anyone except maybe Biden?

It's not a conspiracy theory that Bloomberg is paying off literally anybody that will let him. And it's not out of the realm of possibility that he set up a Bloomberg section at the debate.
I don't know, I am really scared that between SC and ST the media will just be doing a "comeback kid" bullshit narrative. I want Bernie to crush it, I think a lot of voters will buy into it and flip back to Biden.
If I remember correctly they were booing him evading a question there. There were several times some people booed for that reason. The most obvious one was when he brought up Biden voting for trade deals which had nothing to do with the original question—his vote against the Brady Bill.
Bernie was hit hard in the beginning and had an arguably bad response. He recovered mostly I thought in the 2nd half. The rest is mostly true. The crowd was full of VIPs and donors paying nearly $2000-3000+ a seat.
I really want this race to come down to Bernie or Biden. It'll just be more representative of what the electorate actually looks like. I'm hoping Steyer and Klobuchar dropout after SC. Can't see anyone else doing that sadly but I think Warren should as well her campaign is done. Basically it should be moderates vs progressives and lets see who has the bigger base. For all the progressive optimism about a grassroots movement etc. those aren't the candidates that won in 2018 so it's not like the hesitation re Bernie at the top of the ticket is unwarranted. We haven't had anyone as radical in their quest for change since FDR probably so it's basically an untested phenomenon is recent American political history. This should not be taken as Bernie can't win, but I understand why some hesitate with him I myself I'm not super convinced. FL's electoral votes are gone with him on the ticket (just my opinion) so he definitely has to win WI, PA, MI trifecta. Some very white states there and racism has shown time again that it's a stronger drug that straight up suffering, people will die for it than accept a candidate that's going to help them and the "others".
Yeah i just see a few channels with the audio but no video.
Y'all already forgot that Bloomberg's first answer, to a question on stop and frisk, was this:
And we already know that he buys support from local officials/mayors by donating to re-election campaigns so...
I don't know if they they were paid, its within Bloomberg's MO though.
Most were probably booing because who the fuck pays $1500-3000 for debate tickets except for rich assholes.

Bernie choosing CNN and snubbing MSNBC hahaha
MSNBC gonna get salty if Bernie picks CNN over MSNBC for next weeks and months.

I too am glad that he gave something heartfelt and serious instead of humorous.
Missed that post. I'll let him respond instead of me making assumptions. lol
I've shat on plenty of the dumber conspiracies people have spread in the past, but that one is plausible. Alternatively, if people weren't paid, then they were wealthy Bloomberg supporters who bought their way in.
Warren was booed for calling out Bloomberg's "kill it" comments and asking about his taxes, and Bloomberg was cheered for the most uninspired, poorly-delivered lines of the debate. There was definitely an unnatural slant to the audience.
for a long time i only knew chris matthews through james adomian's impression and it's so crazy that he's really just like that
Yeah everyone noticed it, its exactly like Bethesda's E3 crowd where people are reacting to things no normal person would be reacting to. Steve Kornacki, MSNBC's number guy, noticed it. Even fucking Chris Cillizza thought there was something odd.
I don't know if Bloomberg directly paid them off. But he's definitely buying support and a lot of the crowd were Democratic Party operatives and/or extremely wealthy. If Bloomberg didn't buy their ticket, he probably contributed to their operations like he did to buy Stacey Abram's support.
it's funny, just at the end of his Buttigieg interview Matthews lets "there was a lot of packing of the house-- the audience-- tonight, but alright" slip but of course they move right on lol
god, so pathetic
