In reply to the discussion: Why are Sanders supporters so upset (if Sanders crushed it)? [View all]CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)(thats a natural reaction) and took their enthusiasm to the web. There is absolutely no doubt that Sander's supporters are the most animated and the most active.
However, as former debater I tried to view the debate objectively and, while I really admired Bernie's enthusiasm and convictions, I came to the conclusion that Clinton won the debate hands down. There are only so many times you can say that the one percenters are riding the country into hell in different words without sounding repetitive. If you think that I came to that conclusion only because I support Hillary, I guess we are even on that score.
You heard what you wanted to hear, and that's okay, but that doesn't translate into debate points. If you don't like what you hear on the post debate coverage, by all means turn the TV off, but don't pretend that because others don't see the world as you do that some kind of conspiracy is afoot. Even if you do, it would probably be best to keep your conspiracy theories to your yourself; it makes your side sound like the Clintons.
