(58,785 posts)You can at least pride yourself in "Excellent!" leadership in reading incomprehension.
For those involved in this silliness, does CONTENT matter at all any more?
Does Bernie still matter, as many here realize he is probably going to lose? Or has he just become an excuse to attack Hillary? This is a serious question, and it is threads like this that really make me wonder.
Where is the pride in Bernie? I see no attempt by most of Bernie's declared supporters on this subforum to WIN the primary or the general. Behavior harmful to Bernie's image is common.

(32,710 posts)Bernie did good. He wasn't yelling and he gave good answers. It could be that his demeanor is a distraction.
DanTex
(20,709 posts)which I agree with. But his overall presentation was poor. Also, I was watching this with more of an eye towards the GE, having recently watched Cruz, Rubio, and Trump give their post-Iowa speeches (yes, that was unpleasant). And it's painfully clear that Bernie's not the guy we want up against them.

(58,785 posts)Personally, I think all candidates should be required to wear bags over their heads while campaigning for office.
I've always thought Bernie gave pretty good answers delivered well, and I like his appearance, he can even be somewhat charming, but I think his delivery itself frequently hints at the rigid walls of a narrow ideology, as if irritation, intolerance, and impatience are not reserved for our banking system but are rather fairly constant responses to the world in general.

(800 posts)say you're a centrist who can get elected and that you are willing to go out on a limb as you did to try to pass progressive legislation like healthcare reform even if you get burned for it. That's honest.
She's getting bad coaching.
Ed Suspicious
(8,879 posts)would be doing much better. Good idea. I hope she doesn't take you up on it.

Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)like predictably trying to change the subject -again!- from long overdue federal marijuana law reform to "the drug addiction crisis".
But you're right, Anderson Cooper looked a bit awkward.
