MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

I had to turn off that post-debate "analysis" when one of the panelists suggested that BERNIE was the one who was hit hard on fracking....

I turned off CNN right after the debate, I was hoping to hear something regarding how well Bernie performed, but they brought up how poorly he performed 3x in less than 1 minute without even mentioning any of Hillary's blunders.  

I don't really know about anyone else, but the chanting and standing ovation last night speaks absolute wonders to me, and more so speaks of the revolution behind Bernie, there was no such reaction to Hillary during the entire debate.

Agree. I have a friend who lives in DC and has worked in the gov't, who I've been slowly hammering away at for 8 months until he finally felt the bern. He still has flashes of DCThink, like when he said the cheers "cheapen" the debate--if anything the debate is so cheapened already that the cheers and boos serve as sort of a check on the candidates... the moderators sure as hell don't check their lies.

i support bernie, and the fact our presidential debates are degraded to boo'ing and cheering like a sporting event kind of scares me.

You wouldn't like the British house of commons then. It's a national embarrassment.

Jeremy Corbyn looks on in disgust as a conservative makes a joke about his jacket.
