SBS uses his opening statement to repeat his tired old speech..."I started at 3%, blah, blah, blan"

Not a word specific to NY.

He demands these debates just to repeat the same talking points over, and over again.

The debates, and his performance in them hasn't helped him so far. Eight debates didn't help, why would this time be different, when he has nothing new to say?

He never comes out of these things ahead, but that little faux outrage/posturing got him some media coverage and money 'cause the mean lady wouldn't debate him.

Speeches, no, he has only one speech. I thought he would have a different opening in this debate but one more time, no it does not inspire me.

He did not attempt to tailor his remarks to a New York audience at all, as Hillary Clinton did. I guess he was speaking over them all and to TVland.

Never discusses how he will get his fairy tale plans through congress...oh wait...the "revolution" is gonna take care of all that LOL

Never discusses the true costs of his plans and the massive tax increases on ALL Americans it would demand.

Bernie is just saying what people want to hear. Same as the other party.
