(7,393 posts)Zeke Miller @ZekeJMiller: Will Bernie dismissively cutting off Clinton become the new Lazio leaving the podium? The new youre likeable enough?
Matt McDermott @mattmfm: This is nearly Rick Lazio level of bad for Bernie Sanders. He needs a deep breath.
James Hohmann @jameshohmann : Bernie Sanders is sounding like a protest candidate tonight.
Jeff Zeleny @jeffzeleny: Never mind trade. Auto industry far more interesting, with @BernieSanders snapping: Excuse me Im talking. This/close to Lazio moment?
Phil Elliott @Philip_Elliott : Did Bernie Sanders hire Rick Lazio as his debate coach tonight? Interrupting Hillary Clinton seldom ends well.
Domenico Montanaro @DomenicoNPR: Excuse me, Im talking! Sanders snaps. Sharpest moment of this campaign on the Dem side.
Kasie Hunt @Kasie: A moment that we will remember from this campaign for a long time to come. Excuse me, Im talking! Bernie Sanders says to Hillary Clinton
E McMorris-Santoro @EvanMcSan: excuse me i wrote about excuse me im talking (with video!)
Chris Cillizza @TheFix :I think Sanders is making a mistake tonally tonight.
Chris Cillizza @TheFix And the finger pointing!
SANDERS ON RACE:
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr: We have to end the view that black=ghetto=poor. And that was implied in the comments of a Democratic presidential candidate. (Sanders.)
Jonathan Capehart @CapehartJ : He knows that all Black people dont live in ghettos, right?
Chris Cillizza @TheFix: That Sanders answer on race was a total disaster. Wont matter much because of the dynamic of the race. But, still, total disaster.
SalenaZito @SalenaZitoTrib: Pretty sure Bernie Sanders just said white people dont know how to be poor 70% of US poverty is rural/white
Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid : Of course, many white Americans know exactly what its like to live in the ghetto. Many, including immigrants have, do and did.
David Catanese @davecatanese I wonder if theyre gonna ask Bernie why hes getting crushed among black voters. Its his Achilles heel.
