In tonight's debate, I hope Bernie and the Mods don't let Hillary get away with the tactics she

used last time: stretching her responses and exceeding allotted time, talking over him, interrupting, etc. That was infuriating! And so rude.

Drum roll..............

The chairman of Univision and his wife, host of tonight's debate as if having the DNC involved didn't stack the deck enough.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/clinton-money/

<The couple’s biggest individual political benefactors are Univision chairman Haim Saban and his wife, Cheryl, who have made 39 contributions totaling $2.4 million to support the Clintons’ races since 1992. The Sabans have also donated at least $10 million to the foundation.>

It reminds me of this.

Are they going to plant Bernie hecklers and write the questions they will take from the audience? (That second part was a rhetorical question.)

It seems like she has been bought and paid for by the entire Oligarchy of the Planet!

How on earth is she going to return all these favors? Sell the White House?

Hey, there's an idea! Bernie could sell the White House to Donald Trump, let him live there and pose as a Sultan if he wants, while Bernie runs the U.S. government from the arboretum in Rock Creek Park!!!

Our government would certainly smell better!

They're doing his out of the kindness of their hearts and the overwhelming concern and generosity the oligarchy has for the peasant class.

yet one comment about Hillary and your likely to be called sexist.
They are starting to look like Trump - mocking people. Not a good look for the Hillary team.

more than moderator refereeing. People don't like rude behavior. The best thing Bernie and do is let her go ballistic if the opportunity arises - let her harm herself. He should simply continue to show that he is strong and authentic, but also courteous.
