Bernie at the town hall.

[Else You Are Mad]

Is it me or does Bernie sound like an angry, disappointed father tonight because he is disgusted at the way this last weekend has gone?

[RoccoR5955]

1. I think that he is disgusted with tRump.

He said straight out that tRump is a "pathological liar," at the Town Hall.

[Else You Are Mad]

3. Sanders..

....is the only candidate that makes me clap at home while watching him on TV when he says things like that.

[FreakinDJ]

31. Both candidates look tired - like working hard on the campaign trail

and yes it was horrible Bernie misspoke on one question and missed a golden opportunity on another.

But I believe it is more a sign of lot and lots and lots of campaigning

[JFKDem62]

2. He is pretty p.o'd, and rightly so.

And he made it clear that while people have a right to protest, they don't have a right to be violent.

[pangaia]

4. To me he often sounds like that, in the best of ways.

He's pissed. That's why he is running. And has every right to be. :&gt )))

I wish I had his patience.

I almost threw a 10 pound dumbbell at the TV in the gym today.

[winter is coming]

5. Wow, I never take my cat to the gym.

[pangaia]

6. Kersplurttt...

[Gregorian]

7. His voice is destroyed.

[winter is coming]

9. Well, there goes his singing career.

[MissDeeds]

8. Bernie is on target as usual

l do think the Trump lies are wearing. Bernie would rather speak to the issues than deflect poop flung in his direction.

That said, he looks tired. His schedule is grueling and he is in need of some down time. I don't think any other candidate has as many public appearances and TV appearances as Bernie.

I'm considerably younger than he is and there is no way I could maintain his pace.

[winter is coming]

10. I envy his stamina.

I hope he takes a day of down-time after Tuesday.

[JFKDem62]

11. Yes he is doing really well.

I prefer the town hall format over the debate format.

[MissDeeds]

15. I prefer the town hall format too

Not only does each candidate get to speak at length, but I can change the chanel when HRH takes the stage.

[JFKDem62]

16. Yep :) nt

[Else You Are Mad]

23. I just wish..

..that they would allow Sanders to go 2nd for once.

[MissDeeds]

30. Yeah

She always gets the last word, all the while listening to Bernie's comments and formulating a rebuttal. Perhaps though others change the chanel, like I do, before she takes the stage.

I simply cannot listen to her. Between her lies, pandering, distorting Bernie's record, and stealing his talking points, I just want to throw something at the TV.

She disgusts me.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. Yep

[Else You Are Mad]

12. I agree.

What makes him an even more amazing person, let alone candidate, is that he is going through all this torturous campaigning for the sole purpose of helping Americans.He isn't doing it for the prestige or the power trip.

[JFKDem62]

17. I believe the same about Obama, he went through hell for America.

He hated being away from his family during the campaign.

And Bernie, at his age, is doing the same.

Bernie is tired tonight.

For the first time I have seen, he is making a few mistakes, minor ones.
He needs to take a couple of days off at home.

[MissDeeds]

18. Yes!

I have to say I am humbled that such a good and ethical person wants to fight to represent us.

Really, he is putting himself on the front lines and fighting to make sure we all have a fair, equitable and decent chance in this country. He is amazing, and I am so grateful that he is doing this for us.

[JFKDem62]

22. They put themselves in harm's way every day for the people.

Not for self gain.

Bernie is taking on the oligarchy so our children can be educated
and see a doctor when they are sick.

It is humbling and awe inspiring.

[MissDeeds]

33. +1

[appalachiablue]

36. Well said, that is Bernie absolutely.

[Else You Are Mad]

37. Exactly.

Hillary, answering the woman that had her premiums more than double, meandered around then ended up telling the woman that her best answer was looking for better costing plans while Sanders would have answered the question as "you would never have to worry about having to search for the cheapest deal because you will get the best insurance possible regardless of your income and employment!"

How can anyone even try to compare the two on health care reform?!?

[JFKDem62]

38. I thought the same thing. No comparison, he would have told the woman, you will have $0 cost

if I am president.

[Else You Are Mad]

40. It comes down to...

...the fact that Clinton needs to temper her responses (see, e.g. her answers on healthcare, fracking etc.) to the corporations that give her money, Sanders just cares about people. Sanders would give his last dollar to save someone, he is such a rare person in our political atmosphere. I just wish more people realized that.

[JFKDem62]

41. Yes She goes all way round the barn to avoid giving a straight answer nt

[jillan]

21. When I saw him at that amazing townhall today in Ohio I was thinking that I wish he

was home resting.

[JFKDem62]

13. Really good question about what is Bernie's specific plan to defeat Trump.

Bernie making a good case that the polls predict he can beat Trump.
And is now talking about his plan to beat Trump.

[noamnety]

14. Loved that question

and the answer.

[JFKDem62]

19. Another excellent question: How will Bernie deal with congressional obstinacy.

Bernie says he will get a huge voter turnout, which will impact down ticket candidates
and send a message to congress that they must do the people's work.

[jillan]

20. No - not at all! I didn't get that from him. Instead I thought he sounded more grounded &

more matter of fact.

[JFKDem62]

24. Yes once the subject was no longer Trump he went back to his usual self.

He is p.o'd at the Trumpster

[deepestblue]

26. Bernie

After Tuesday, Bernie needs a few well-deserved days off.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

27. He sounded OK to me

[Vattel]

28. I can't watch the townhalls or debates any more.

I get too stressed hoping that Bernie does well.

[Land of Enchantment]

29. Bernie has said that running for president is like being inside an avalanche

and he is tired, yes, but still has his passion. I saw his speech online today at OSU and he had a rousing crowd and so into it. The crowd was chanting 'Bernie Sanders has our back, we don't need no super pac' and he was chanting with them and laughing his ass off.
He comes across to me as sincere and a little tired but he KNOWS the wind is now at his back.

[CentralMass]

32. He sounded great to me.

[BernieforPres2016]

34. I thought he did a terrific job tonight.

His answers were good and I thought he connected personally with the audience, including the people asking the questions.

[Else You Are Mad]

35. I agree!

[Duckfan]

39. If Bernie does indeed get the nomination and goes against Chump...

I fear it will get ugly.

Yes Bernie will clean his clock at the polls, but it's Chumps uneducated "morans" I worry about.

Chump won't get through a debate with Bernie because Bernie is a statesman. Chump is just an angry, prejudiced, white dude with a chip on his shoulder, and his head up his rear orifice.

I have another concern, but will reserve my judgement until we cross that bridge.

[Else You Are Mad]

42. On the other hand...

If it isn't Sanders and it is Hillary that goes against Trump, we have to worry about the fact he has donated money to her campaign as a quid pro quo that Trump will use every chance he gets if he goes against her in the general. All he has to say is " how was my wedding?" and he loses the anti establishment right and left leaning independents.
