For Sanders fans to claim-that Bernie got the standing ovation is silly--

it is beyond the pale. They continue to use the big L about Hillary so often. But it was the end of the debate and Sanders was last with his closing statement so it might seem that he got the most claps clap-- But as someone pointed out--Anderson Cooper said both sides were cheering Hillary and Bernie and most stood up--it was the end of the debate that was was being applauded--not specifically Bernie.

Whatever they claim of Hillary is so far off the mark. They've created a fictional stand-in for the real Hillary Clinton, and they are nothing alike at all. Their comments and hate have nothing to do with the real Hillary Clinton, for they've never bothered to listen to her or learn about her because the fantasy HC in their head is given all their attention--they are delusional.

Big whoop.

Put me in the crowd and I guarantee you they say my candidate won the debate. Guarantee.

If the ability of the few to make a lot of noise is how things really should be judged, I could create a lot of debate "winners" without much trouble at all.

I demur but concede that it would be difficult to prove that the Standing-O was for Sanders. However, the chanting was unmistakable and indubitable.

We should just get rid of the ballot boxes and use an applause meter to elect the next president.
