Sanders to Clinton: 'Excuse me, I'm talking'

[TomCADem]

As Sanders began his rebuttal, Clinton attempted to interject.

"“Excuse me, I’m talking," he said.

“If you’re going to talk, tell the whole story," she fired back.

Sanders then focused his answer on the reasons he opposed a bailout for Wall Street writ large, saying that he believed "let the billionaires themselves bail out Wall Street.”

If Hillary's camp is so upset by Bernie, you have to see it as an admission that she would get destroyed by Donald Trump who would have no problem just talking over her and drowning her out in a debate.

[silvershadow]

1. Good for him. She was so rudely and repeatedly interrupting him. nt

[FreakinDJ]

26. she is well aware of debate rules

[NowSam]

29. Agree

No special treatment for her just because of her gender. She was rude and he called her on it. I applaud him for treating her as a fellow human being without gender qualifications.

[DiehardLiberal]

32. Absolutely! Not only that but she kept talking louder.. and slower when Anderson would call time.

To make it impossible for Sanders to rebut. I'm a woman and found myself yelling at the tv "Shut up!!". She is insufferable.

Bernie showed manners and class.

[Cavallo]

2. That Hillary's supporters refuse to acknowlege any of her history and run from talking about it

pretty much tells me that we are doomed as a nation. Their type make up a majority.

Sure they're going to get hung up on this and not that Hillary was interrupting. Had Hillary said it they'd cheer.

[Major Hogwash]

3. She's intolerable.

How could she ever negotiate with the Republicans if she always interrupts them??

[Democat]

6. Is this comment parody?

The way you deal with Republicans is to be polite and never interrupt them?

[dchill]

4. He did say, "Excuse me."

In my world, that's the polite way of countering an interrupter.

[FreakinDJ]

27. +1000 ^^^ This Guy gets it ^^^

[AzDar]

5. Given that she interrupted and attempted to talk over Bernie repeatedly, he was incredibly polite.

[riversedge]

7. This toon says it all--Sanders kept invading Hillary's personal space...

[DhhD]

14. I would like to see a similar carton with them at their podiums with Sanders telling everyone about

the items that Clinton dropped on the floor. Clinton comes dressed in the past every time she appears. It is my opinion that she has a lot of dirty clothes that she cannot get rid of. (sarcasm)

Sanders is really pointing to her dirty laundry that has to be aired in public. (satire)

She will get more airing by the public and all the 2016 candidates; you can count the items. (reality)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

15. Her focus group on clothing was verified, dammit!

They told her what to wear and what to bring, including which hairstyle works for debates.

[Duval]

22. That was really clever, DhhD!

And you got your points across very well!

[ForgoTheConsequence]

30. Terribly drawn.

But of course you have to resort to cartoons because that moment never happened. Bernie wagged his finger when he wanted to make a point, Hillary just randomly flapped her gums into the microphone.

[BuddhaGirl]

35. Yes, he did

He seems to lack awareness about this. When he would be on the panel on Real Time, he frequently leaned in front of people while talking, arm outstretched like this. LOL

[treestar]

20. Nothing wrong with interrupting if someone goes on and on and on

and hogs the floor and goes on to other issues expecting not to be opposed.

I really hate it when people, usually men, do that. Then act like the victim "let me finish" - yeah whenever are you going to be finished?

[DiehardLiberal]

33. She really did hog the floor and keep Bernie from interjecting. I was amazed by her boorishness.

She was probably coached to do that but I found it very rude and unethical.

[MrMickeysMom]

8. It's always good to say, "excuse me" when being rudely interrupted over and over...

... instead of the Clintonian, "stop talking while I'm interrupting" style. That's inexcusable, regardless of how you wear your pants.

[peacebird]

9. Her superpac is quoted in the article trying to equate this to Lazio moment

All I saw was Hillary being very rude and repeatedly interrupting. Now her camp is trying to claim that MAN was MEAN to a poor little WOMAN?

[yourpaljoey]

13. He has started throwing thunderbolts. You almost feel sorry for her.

She has nowhere to go.
All she has are convoluted lies within lies.
It is painful to watch.

[DhhD]

16. If she is truely brothered she could have ask that they change places or podiums. Any more debates?

Clinton can stand on the Right of Bernie Sanders.

[LiberalElite]

10. YEAH! Go Bernie! nt

[ebayfool]

11. Lazy reporting. David Brock emailed that story to reporters.

Don't any journalists do their own stories any more? Talk about 'mailing it in'! Cripes!

If Trump did talk over her and drown her out, she'd just be getting what she hands out. If she makes it to the general, it'll be a non-stop pre-impeachment gutter fight. I don't think she's up to it. I don't think the voting public is up to it.

snip/

Correct the Record, an independent group that backs Clinton's campaign, emailed the clip to reporters, describing it as Sanders' "Rick Lazio moment."

And some on DU were mighty fast with it as well. Makes ya wonder ...

[restorefreedom]

12. and then he said

you tell your story and i will tell mine

and she said "i will"

i actually thought that exchange was kind of cute...like an old married couple.

i did not pick up any serious bad vibes between them, at least not then

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. Her problem is WHICH story she should use.

She has so many, all contradictory.

[restorefreedom]

19. yup. its much easier

when you have had the same position for 40 years...then there is nothing to "remember"

[ChairmanAgnostic]

24. my hero, William C. Fields

once said, "I walked passed a bar one time, and I was so surprised, I turned around to congratulate myself with . . . ." No, that was not it.

He said, "Who is the rascal who stole the cork out of my lunch?" No, not that either.

Fields said, "I always tell the truth. That way, i don't have to remember what I said." THAT'S IT.

[restorefreedom]

28. he nailed it. nt

[happyslug]

31. That is a variation of the Saying by Mark Twain:

"Always do right, it will gratify some people and astonish the rest"

[ChairmanAgnostic]

34. I love Twain, a highly underrated commentator about humanity.

I once had a collection of his Dark Stories, things rarely printed, rarely discussed. They were fantastic.
Unfortunately, I loaned my copy to a Jesuit priest. Never got it back.

[yellowcanine]

18. He did misquote her. The Wall Street Bailout not the same as the bailout of GM.

And I believe that U.S. taxpayers actually reaped a profit on the GM bailout.
He did try to get in a cheap shot at her expense, but she still should not have interrupted him.
She should have waited to rebut his comeback.
And ideally Bernie would have said, Yes, I voted against the GM bailout and here is why. Sometimes you have to take your lumps. And sometimes you have to say, "turns out I was wrong on how that would play out." Voters will respect such a response.

[Gregorian]

21. It was an implicit admission that there's a shitload of bugs under that rug.

She reminds me of a female George Bush. I get the same lying vibe, and hypocrisy. I loathe this woman, and anyone else who behaves that way. Agenda, agenda, ambition.

Go Bernie!

[Duval]

23. K&R. nt

[LeFleur1]

25. What she SHOULD have said.

"Yeah you are talking, but you aren't saying anything."

[Earth_First]

36. HRC has a habit of doing this...

4:01

?t=239

[JackRiddler]

37. This point has been turned into an attack on Sanders because...

it was when he won the debate, based on the actual debate instead of bullshit. "Attack them on their strengths." And of course she was interrupting him, because he was taking her Big Lie about the auto bailout and going into Wall Street, which is her house.

[JackRiddler]

38. But the exchange on fracking, that one can't be spun to Clinton's favor in any universe.

So it's ignored.
