I suspect you are talking about his calling bullsh!t on the email sh!t.

And I just loved O'Malley's follow up.

Bernie was right to call for regular debates with Republicans. They would all kick the Republicans ass on policy, they have NONE! Make them answer questions the Democrats field about real problems, not Planned Parenthood. PP is a made up crisis scapegoat! Corporate media feed us the crap until that's all we know. They still asked stupid, inane questions tonight!

I don't choose to live under a corporate shadow government as Bernie alluded to tonight in the wake of Citizen's United. Bernie is the only one willing to attempt it and I stand behind him!

He should have let that go, at the very least.

Editing to add
It's too bad Anderson didn't go further and say-- but we in the news media want to have a horse race. We want to talk personalities, not issues.

I think the same thing about Hillary supporters. The #fuckthebern was a little too much. Hillary is a marketed politician and the corporate choice.

They both probably have more stamina and energy than people much younger.

And Ben Carson is probably "somnolent" because he's trying to figure out what the hell is going on and what everybody's talking about.

Hillary did rather well too. She was composed, casual and really knew her shit. I couldn't find hardly anything i disagreed with her on. Bernie was fired up as always, i'm glad that worked for him in the debate format. Looking forward to the next one.
