(1,252 posts)O'Malley is a gentleman and is playing the game. Nobody is watching the darn thing anyway. It doesn't matter. The full stadiums for Bernie and that he won the internet is what matters. The paradigm is shifting and this antiquated "debate" nonsense is just theater. A relic of earlier century politicking.
Martin O'Malley certainly has been cheated by the corporate owners of the network who happen to own one of the other candidates on that stage.

(67,112 posts)Much of the problem comes from how M$M structures them. Also, often, I think the moderators are far too biased and it stands out, like a sore thumb. Also, M$M is highly controlling, and that with $$$$$$'s.
