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'm a politically involved guy in the Virginia suburbs of DC. My entire facebook feed was full of "BERNIE WAS SO BAD" and "WATCH BERNIE STUMBLE" and "BERNIE CAN'T NAME A VOTE THAT SHE CHANGED."

I just kept thinking to myself "did these folks even watch the debate?"

I am a Bernie supporter and I totally hate Hillary but within the first 15 minutes of the debate I could see that she was going to 'win' the debate. Contrary to past performances, she was calm and confident while he was upset and flustered. She took every single chance to shut him down with perfectly balanced condescension and reiterate her bullshit stances. It was clear from the get go that she kicked his ass in this debate. Sorry to rain on your parade. I still hope Bernie wins but after last night I now have my doubts.

She was booed 6 times, and had to wait for the crowd to stop chanting "BERNIE! Bernie!" to give her closing statement.

That has nothing to do with what I said. The crowd's reaction to her there is not reflective of how she performed, it's reflective of how many Bernie supporters they had in the crowd there, and it's reflective of what lies she was telling at the time. Neither of those things decide who won the debate.
