Both Bernie and Joe seemed More Angry (or grouchy if you prefer) than Usual tonight.

[JoeOtterbein]

Good.

We need to be more angry.

[Bradshaw3]

1. Sorry I don't think it plays well

I like Bernie and have seen him in person but his angry old guy act is getting, well .. old.

[we can do it]

2. I don't like the grumpiness.

Joe is best when positive.

3. They came across as grumpy old men.

[ecstatic]

4. Bernie is always grumpy... Biden is being forced (by the media?) into taking

a more aggressive stance against his opponents.

5. Bernie sounded congested

I don't recall him sounding exactly like that in either of the first two debates. Maybe he's fighting off an infection he got while on the campaign trail, or maybe campaigning at his pace makes him hoarse?

6. I think he has had an extremely busy campaign schedule.

[floppyboo]

8. Very busy schedule. And its his birthday week!

[Uncle Joe]

7. I thought that Bernie was suffering from either getting over a cold or laryngitis n/t

9. There are different kinds of angry. Productive and unproductive.

Productive is when you use it as fuel to make actual progress toward changing what one is angry at.

Unproductive is when one directs it at allies when they count on teamwork, and don't let one make all the decisions.
