That was a terrible "debate". My Lord what questions against Sanders.

Jesus wept.

Another example of why Bernie supporters (NB. NOT Bernie himself) scare the living daylights out of me.

Really good article here from Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone on the pusher of fake news that is CNN.

CNN's Debate Performance Was Villainous and Shameful

CNN hyped the “feud” between Sanders and Warren the whole day before the debate, and then shameless took a side during the main event

Paris proving the thesis of my last post pretty perfectly.

I haven't read the article but CNN is pretty trash to be fair, it's not Fox news bad but it's still pretty awful viewing in my experience.

Being British I don't get a vote here so you'll have to explain that to me.

Do I want to see someone like Trump removed from the most powerful office in the world? Of course.

Do I want to see the best assume that position? Of course.

Would I blindly support someone - in this case a proven serial liar who has orchestrated a hateful smear against a long time friend - just because it's not Trump? No, but I'd still vote for her if I had the right to do so.

Wow

 

[Paris]

Wow

That was my first reaction when I saw it too.

Yeah... that's what I was talking about... Not your characterisation

Let us look at the facts.

Warren has:

Lied about being Native Indian.
Lied about being sacked for being pregnant.
Lied about a long-time friend's sexism.

All this to advance her personal ambition.

She is duplicitous. However, like 2016, if the race came down to Warren or Trump then I would vote (if I could lol ) for the least worst option. That is quite clearly Warren and nothing further needs to be said.

Warren has:

Let’s focus on what’s actually going on right now.

That’s not even an accusation of sexism! What Bernie allegedly said is NOT SEXIST. It doesn’t mean that Bernie doesn’t think a woman could do the job, or that they couldn’t be an excellent President... it’s more an accusation of sexism in the electorate - which, you know, is hardly a stretch given the last election.

The statement isn’t sexist. The fact that it might be an accurate statement is sexist.

So anyway, with that in mind, perhaps you could expand on how you KNOW she is lying?

Warren and HRC before her are being held to crazy high standards that their male counterparts aren’t.
clinton wasn’t a great candidate but thevitriol she suffered was crazy.
if warren were a man with the same cv, she’d top the polls no question.
