Bernie – Just Call Me Rick Lazio – Sanders.

I’d be inclined to excuse him for that moment if it weren’t for his unrelenting insistence on getting in the last word.

Oh, rough stuff, If that’s what causes Clinton to crack them she isn’t ready to face the clown parade.

HRC has handled far more than the Clown Car posse over the past 25 years.
And an 11-hour cameo under a spotlight with The Gowdy Doody Committee showed mettle.
You’re actually describing and projecting Sen Sander’s weakness in this case.

This is not Clinton cracking. Believe me, women everywhere experience the “I’m talking, you have to wait” position from men all the time. This is Clinton pointing the fact that Bernie insists on the last word and tries to make his positions and his talking more important than hers.

Yes, that wagging finger has got to go. Very rude and condescending. He has done it several times so it is not a one-off event. Granted that Hillary ought not to interrupt either but the way Sanders handles it is horrible.

Precisely. I was thinking the same thing. Hillary has handled pressure since being the First Lady. Some of it disgusting and personal attacks. Bernie has not received more than an ounce of the pressure Hillary has received and handled over the years. Not even close.

Hillary was filibustering and interrupting all night and Cooper kept telling her to stop. If Bernie had told another man to not interrupt him nobody would have noticed. This is another non-issue that the Clinton camp will try to rev up, instead of talking about issues. It won’t work.

In the meantime Hillary and the spineless Obama:
- Still have not named a justice to replace Scalia…wasting time and playing into Republican hands because they are really Republicans at heart.
- They have done nothing about helping Flint Michigan to recover and Obama and his DoJ are failing to prosecute those responsible
- They are pushing through their secretive TPP plan that will kill thousands of US jobs…it will be even worse than Bill Clinton’s NAFTA
- Obama is failing to reclassify pot form a Schedule 1 substance which Nixon classified on his own. Obama is a spineless Republican
- Obama failed to break up the big banks and NO bank CEO’s have gone to jail!
We don’t need a 3rd Obama term…we need Bernie!

Right because Obama has candidates vetted and ready to go the minute a Supreme Court justice dies. Because vetting doesn’t take time. Because getting someone to agree to subject themselves to a dog and pony show possible confirmation process isn’t remotely difficult. And last because getting someone to potentially sacrifice their judicial aspiration to the folly of the Senate Republicans isn’t difficult either. Give me a break.
Because, if they intend to prosecute, it doesn’t take time to build a case. What law do you think they should use? I want some specifics.

Bernie Sanders doesn’t handle pressure very well, does he? He hasn’t had to put up with that kind of pressure in Congress where they gots roooooooles about interrupting.
But he has always, even in Congress, gone around wagging the finger and waving the arms at everyone. I always thought it was because he was just an irascible old back-bencher (which he is) throwing tantrums to make his point, which was kinda charming, but that look doesn’t work in an executive capacity, or a one-on-one debate. Not a good look at all, Hillary, as a woman, aside.
Temper, temper, Senator Sanders! Settle down, let others speak too!

It is rude to interrupt.
In a debate, it is against the rules to interrupt.
Unless you want to let people walk all over you, the correct, ethical and polite reaction is to say “Excuse me, you are interrupting”
Hillary was rude.
Hillary broke the rules.
Bernie was correct, ethical and polite.
Did he raise his voice in the process of standing up against Hillary’s rule breaking and rudeness? Yes. Is that wrong in any way? I guess a person with no emotions might have been calmer. But that same person would not work so hard fighting for the issues they care about.

Sanders was fired up tonight and not in a good way. He has to convince the people not already on his bandwagon that he’s going to fight for them and coming off disrespectful as he did isn’t going to endear him to the people he still has to convince (much less the people who are already voting against him who he would also have to convince to change their votes).

What bunch of nonsense is this? He always “wags his finger”. But in all of the other debates, it never looked like anything because he was on the other side of her. Now it looks like hes wagging his finger at her due to her being on his right side. In regards to the “let me finish” comment, What’s wrong with it? He’s responding and isn’t wanting to get interrupted over and over. People are looking at this is in an entire different light because Hillary Clinton is a woman. Same thing with the “all the shouting in the world isn’t going to solve anything” comment where Clinton and her talking heads made that a sexist remark even though he’s been using that sort of line for years.
How in the world is it sexist telling another person to let them finish their comment when they’re getting interrupted.
Sanders was more aggressive in this debate, mainly because he had to. He had a lot of missed opportunities to go after her in the second portion of the debate, which is unfortunate.
The fact that all of the attacks towards Sanders is coming from an organization that includes the awful human being that is David Brock is laughable.

In England, commoners are not to address the Queen directly. Hillary Clinton should be accorded the same respect.
