Who needs the DNC rigged debates?
People were watching Bernie on Twitter and applauding his responses.
The old media is irrelevant, I bet more people would watch a debate on Twitter than on the Old Media.

(15,480 posts)What a contrast between how Bernie & Hillary utilize the social media. He is nimbly and ably debating the GOP candidates, LIVE, and without any focus groups or consultants, and using the GOP debate to gain at least 10,000 followers. HRC is doing selfies with Kardashian and West at yet another fundraiser.
During the #GOPDebate @BernieSanders gained over 10k new followers on Twitter with the hash tag #DebateWithBernie

It's pretty bad when Donald Trump is the only one on stage who makes any sense at all. Although I did enjoy Jeb! making funny faces whenever they bring up his dad and brother.

Very spontaneous. Considering how well it went I'm hoping he does it again for the next debate.
