See my post above.
I think Bernie did some permanent damage in the primary. We need to figure out how to not kill off our candidates in the primaries. Too many debates leaves them wounded for the general. The Repubs did that in 08...wounded Romney.

I'm sure the Repubs would have shreded bernie with lies and distortions too b4 it was over.
