Doesn't bode well for his image for the general public though, and 100K followers on Twitter is no replacement for people actually knowing who the **** he is, what he stands for, or how his UBI thing isn't Utopian liberal posturing.

Tortoise and the Hare my friend. I'd be a lot more concerned if he botched two or three debates without being able to talk. He's already come way further than anyone could have expected. And without all the connections Bernie leveraged through his years in government to boot.

I don't mind the guy either but let's not be unrealistic here.

He didn't do any tortoise gains in this debate. He talked very quickly cause he knew he needed to get out his position quickly and had no time to follow up so he just looked like a single issue guy and god knows if his single issue is even feasible cause damn did he talk fast.

I honestly can’t believe there’s really anybody left who wants to keep this private insurance ****.

Sunday talks shows are like Americans want to keep their private insurers.

****ing who? Even when I was a teacher my insurance sucked the dong.

This morning Sanders was talking about expanding Medicare for the elderly to provide dental and vision and hearing aids. So as it is right now poor old people just have to let their eyes ears and mouths rot. I didn’t know that.

We really need outlets that can inform without profit motive. It's compromised the 4th estate almost completely at this point.

Lord yes. PBS has more commercials than CBS. And thanks the Koch Brothers daily. It’s obscene.

That’s the conservative argument
