2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: K&R If you think Bernie killed it tonight!! [View all]passiveporcupine
(8,175 posts)104. That was a great interview.
Yes, Chris was obnoxious, until audience questions started...then he calmed down. One thing I loved about watching this is how Bernie kept his cool, and never got mad at Chris, but remained firm in taking control of the conversation again. He showed that he can work with difficult people who don't even want to listen. I loved his interaction with the students too. He treated them like adults...like they were equals, and he did not talk down to them the way Hillary always seems to.
I do think Hillary has serious issues with self-assurance/self-confidence. It shows in the way she treats others. She kisses up to people like Kissinger, Obama, etc., but she talks down to common people (people who don't have a lot of wealth, fame, power).

He is good with his usual stuff but he's still very weak on foreign policy questions.

Bernie wiped the floor with Tweetie tonight. What a thrilling conversation, he wore poor Chris out!

Bernie isn't just running against Hillary, he's running against corporate shills like Tweety.
