Absolutely.

That's a good point. Didn't really even think about that. Not sure if Bloomberg has plants or if it's just a very rich audience. Especially given the cost of the tickets.The audience is definitely not with him, very obviously has Bloomberg plants in there. It's throwing him off his rhythm since he feeds off of the crowd very well.
Yeah term limits are shit and I hate that a ton of liberals seem to want them.It's so goddamn annoying. I fucking hate the idea term limits fix anything. Look at the states that implemented it! It did not work in California! It doesn't work! It cedes power to lobbyists as the new experts of how to pass law.

How are we on debate #20 about Bernie's gun votes and his answers are still shit?How are we on debate #20 about Bernie's gun votes when Iran and Russia just slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Syria, what the fuck?
How to actually deal with India and Iran is something the president will do. The president will not control gun control policy.
Nope. Which means this is the last debate for amy/pete/steyer/bloomberg/warren if they don't do well, but only Pete is acting like it.
You know what? I take that back. Steyer came ready to play. if not for the fact that no one knows who the hell he is, he'd be killing it.
60% of debate performance is flow and confidence. If you aren't on your rhythm then even if you make good answers they don't really land as well.The crowd don't make Bernie's answers any better. Because they've been shit.
It's a hit or miss strategy but if she doesn't inject herself she gets completely ignored.I like Warren a lot, but she needs to kinda dial it down a notch.

I mean this is a major fuckup, he's about to go from having a bunch of momentum to much less so into super tuesday, which can make or break him.Bernie needs to fire his debate coach/team
They have really let him down.
The president isn't going to pass M4A, either, but we've spent a tremendous number of time in the debates discussing it and harassing people for plans that could plausibly be passed by this administration.
I mean he said he fucked up, and has adjusted his stances there. I don't think he is a fan of the NRA at this point.How are we on debate #20 about Bernie's gun votes and his answers are still shit?
Everyone needs to in this debate. Biden disappeared until he got real angry and then he did well. These moderators aren't controlling it, so the nominees have to.
Agreed. Term limits just help lobbyists as if people can't be career Reps/Senators, they'll go into lobbying instead. And not only that, those lobbyists will be more influencial as no one will have the time to become experienced at navigating DC politics and so they'll be more and more dependent on lobbyists to do that for them, as they just won't have the time to get that experience themselves anymore and since they can't make a career out of it, there's less reason to bother regardless.
He doesn't do well unless the crowd is squarely with him.Oof. I've never been a big Bernie fan (voting for Warren), but thought his CNN Townhall last night was really great. Where is that Bernie tonight?
Oof. I've never been a big Bernie fan (voting for Warren), but thought his CNN Townhall last night was really great. Where is that Bernie tonight?
lol he has not been, but even if he has, he's gotten some damn good hits on Bernie.I mean we have people praising Pete to the heavens in here and he's just talking over people.
I need the name and number of your dealer. He's absolutely been talking over people from the jump.lol he has not been, but even if he has, he's gotten some damn good hits on Bernie.
I think he was trying to make a joke about how badly he did last week. It's something that Bush did in 2004 after he spent the whole first debate scowling. The issue is, Bloomberg has no personality so it doesn't work.I have no idea what Bloomberg was saying there. Was he joking? Was he being serious? What a bizarre line
It was supposed to be a self depreciating joke. He was probably supposed to do it at the top.I have no idea what Bloomberg was saying there. Was he joking? Was he being serious? What a bizarre line
Pete actually has been the WORST at talking over other people, in fact as I am POSTING this he just talked over someone and got reprimanded by the moderator!lol he has not been, but even if he has, he's gotten some damn good hits on Bernie.
Yea, everyone is going over and talking over each other. Why is warren getting the most heat about that in here?I mean we have people praising Pete to the heavens in here and he's just talking over people.
