Said his xenophobia and racism appeals to people's lowest instincts and is disgraceful. Got a lot of applause.

He said Sanders was like Nader (said it in the form of a question).

Very disappointing. I was hoping Colbert would embrace Sanders.

Sanders, as usual, was great.

You know what surprised me? That SC and Batiste were amazed at the Bernie response at the start of the show. Anyone who's paying attention shouldn't be surprised that crowds go wild for Bernie.

Bernie is great. My question to all of you is, is this the usual level of advertising??!! Zowie. From now on will simply wait for morning and the clips posted of the best bits.
