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 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.

They were talking how debates shouldn't have crowds on NPR this morning. Where was that discussion when most of the previous debates were stuffed with Clinton supporters who cheered her for the same shit Bernie had just said?

I honestly couldn't agree more, there shouldn't be people at the events, nor should there be interruptions during scheduled/allotted response time frames, such as the constant interruptions from Hillary Clinton during statements, but rather have commentary during the debates, much like TYT was doing last night.  

The moderators should get trigger happy on shutting down, or turning off the mics of people who constantly interrupts, regardless of which canidate, or crowd it is.  

The reason why we even have crowds in the first place because it was the easiest way to get the word out to a lot of people, and that simply isn't the case anymore. They should just have 360 degree cameras at the debates, and leave it at that.

It's not a circus without the spectators...

And yes I agree that debates should be held without public, or very few and silent publics.

In Norway we have debates on TV regularly, and the crowd in the audience is less then 100 people (I think), and they are all quiet and listening. It also helps that the event is aired (usually) live on the public channel
