I just watched it on cspan. Those stone-faced little zombies were pissing me off. I'd like to get one of them one-on-one and see if they're capable of explaining what their problem was.

They grew up listening to Mom and Dad at the family dinner table talk about how evil liberals are. Think of it: 18 years of dinner table conversation inspired by talking points courtesy of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. On top of that, no doubt many of those students were warned by professors that they should be polite to Mr. Sanders--but to remember that the devil speaks in the guise of truth and can quote scripture for his own purposes.

The fact that Bernie broke through that brainwashing to connect with a sizable portion of the students was a HUGE accomplishment.

I think they were pissed they were made to attend. Did you see them sprint for the door at the end?

But his looking for shared ground in his speech worked ok.

Didn't like his reply to the first question, it lacked specifics and tended to ramble.

Over all give the man a solid B
