subtly or not so subtly have been doing in all the debates. Not sure why he didn’t express equal outrage withe similar types of baiting in the other debates?

Personally I do not like the debate format at all, and prefer the town hall type venue

The debate format IMHO is waiting for a gotcha moment, and where the candidates are on the issues seems to get lost

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

lol tag team underway. first bernie is blacklisted now he is getting lots of attention nt msongs Jan 2020 #6
Cooper wouldn't get off the distorted "made your money in oil and coal" stuff for Steyer, either, coti Jan 2020 #10
All good points... thought Steyer did VERY well last night. Congrats & good luck to your candidate!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2020 #13
Steyer was great kwolf68 Jan 2020 #18
I believe one of the best things Steyer did was look directly Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #14
It's what happens when people stop believing a campaign's veracity. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #15
As opposed to outright lying about your record? kwolf68 Jan 2020 #19
The moderator really degraded herself there and I was sorry to see it. Aaron Pereira Jan 2020 #20
I agree Aaron Pereira, Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #21
Villainous? sheshe2 Jan 2020 #27
Yes villainous Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #28

Bazinga! George II Jan 2020 #33
Yea, great come back George because if I don't watch T.V. no other American will. Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #36
We don't see other Americans being as critical of CNN or calling them "villainous", "depraved" or... George II Jan 2020 #44
Then you haven't been paying attention. n/t Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #47
What we saw didn't match any of those definitions. CNN "depraved"? CNN "wretched"? George II Jan 2020 #35
They're pushers. Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #37
Wha? Sanders came off as being surly, so they're "pushers".... George II Jan 2020 #42
CNN doesn't want their big pharma commercialized gravy train to end. Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #45
Oh, so now we're punting and deflecting to "big pharma"! That's too funny. George II Jan 2020 #46
That's most certainly a motivation for their one sided prejudiced questions, Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #50
And you have evidence of that I'm sure. I'm a "genius", but an open-minded genius. I don't see that. George II Jan 2020 #66
Pushers? sheshe2 Jan 2020 #48
"The Pusher" Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #51
I am hurt that you did not resond to my post. sheshe2 Jan 2020 #53
I have no idea what you're talking about. Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #54
Never mind. sheshe2 Jan 2020 #55
Just for the record my definition of "pusher" is what you originally responded to Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #56
No. sheshe2 Jan 2020 #58
One man's (Matt Taibbi's) opinion. I thought it was the best yet, probably in part because.... George II Jan 2020 #31

You know what's villainous and shameful? Taibbi's podcast cohost Katie Halper calling Warren an highplainsdem Jan 2020 #49
Katie Halper is awesome melman Jan 2020 #59
Awesome for calling Warren a dishonest, impetuous snob? highplainsdem Jan 2020 #61
I think her analysis of this situation is spot on melman Jan 2020 #64
But the peopel who dont' like sanders will eat it up booley Jan 2020 #57
She blew it. PassingFair Jan 2020 #60
Warren is done as far as the primary madville Jan 2020 #63
Two campaigns blame the media a lot. No other campaigns attribute their issues to Blue_true Jan 2020 #62
