What's funny is if someone went up to Bernie and said "All your supporters are toxic online" he'd (rightly) be pissed off. But, apparently, it's fine to tell Pete that all his supporters are billionaires. It's absurd.

no, what someone SHOULD do is point out that Our Revolution which heavily funds sanders takes a shitload of dark money and he has no idea WHO is funding his campaign. I thought Pete was going to- he was about three seconds from landing that hit.

That Bernie answer was not good. Started horrible, ended alright I suppose, but the shock of the start didn't work.

Man gun laws is such a weak spot for Bernie.

Thankfully... this is one thing which is fine for the general election.

Also every time Bernie starts, a bunch of boos start before he even says something lol.

Here's the problem with Bernie's answers, he needs to shake it off and not respond back directly. Just answer the question. Him getting baited is his weakest quality.

So, to be clear, we're supposed to forgive Bernie for making a "bad" vote, but Biden's bad vote is disqualifying.

I mean, as someone who works in the news, the moderators are doing a great job. You think their job duties actually involve moderating a clean and productive debate? The bigger and messier the drama, the better for CBS. That's the goal.

Then they don't need moderators.

Also if people shut this off it's certainly not their goal.

Pete is doing well. I fucking hate the filibuster, anyone that hits anyone who supports it is a good thing.

Damn hitting Bernie on the filibuster now.

I mean it's not wrong, can't pass actual progressive policies with the filibuster up. But also what Bernie can't really say is that the opposite can occur when GOP can go ham on passing really shit bills to law.

Yes, but it's worth it if we get some legit good legislation out of it. They already use reconciliation to get what they want...

There's no more debates before super tuesday?

Nope. Which means this is the last debate for amy/pete/steyer/bloomberg/warren if they don't do well, but only Pete is acting like it.

You know what? I take that back. Steyer came ready to play. if not for the fact that no one knows who the hell he is, he'd be killing it.

Pete with the legit good shot at Sanders not supporting getting rid of the fillibuster, and Sanders just avoided talking about it at all in his response.

Sanders just has to be better at pivoting. In a 5v1 situation you have to bob and weave. Message discipline helps, but he needs a little more than that tonight.

The audience is definitely not with him, very obviously has Bloomberg plants in there. It's throwing him off his rhythm since he feeds off of the crowd very well.

How are we on debate #20 about Bernie's gun votes when Iran and Russia just slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Syria, what the fuck?

How to actually deal with India and Iran is something the president will do. The president will not control gun control policy.
