OFFICIAL DEBATE THREAD

[msmerymac]

Bernie supporters on FB are all talking about how the click polls on FB/CNN have Bernie winning the debate at 85%.   All that proves is that Bernie supporters know how to use the internet.

My Bernie supporters on FB are pretty quiet today.

Any online poll right now has Bernie at like 75% and HRC 15%. Which just confirms, given that HRC killed it last night, by all accounts, that Bernie fans don't actually live in a reality based world. Much like another political contingent I can think of.....

One of mine switched to Hillary. Said he still agrees with Bernie but now sees he can't win

[heyjude]

The Bernie people in my newsfeed have gone quiet, save for one. My uncle. Who has gone apocalyptic about HRC.

I want to show him the quote from the Nation article. Where the GOP operative admitted that they whipped up anti Obama sentiment among the troops and when shit didn't hit the fan, the GOP looked like fools in their eyes. It's a bad strategy for any political team to overplay your hand.

Mine too, but I didn't expect it from the handful I have. They don't say much on FB and mostly say it IRL.  Plus, I think a couple wouldn't ever watch the debate since they are so anti-Hillary, I don't know.

I saw a Time "poll" that had Sanders at 54%, WEBB at 33% (LOLOL), and HRC at like 11%.

With those temper tantrums?  No way, Jim-may.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has been thinking this.

Your last sentence is dead on.

I've got one that is complaining about the debate being on CNN and not on a non-cable channel, claiming it is a conspiracy and that it is airing on the Clinton News Network to suppress Bernie's message from getting out into the masses.

I don't block him because his feed is like watching a reality show.

Wow ESF, that's...um...quite the theory dude has going.

I was reading Fox News' (shut up) analysis of the debate (Hillary won) and just about died when I got to this sentence:


"It’s not her fault; she just happens to be running for president at the same time the Democratic (sic) Party is experiencing congressional and historical low-ebbs of historic proportion."

Like the Republican party is on a huge upswing?  They mentioned what a sorry field the Democrats are putting up acting as if the Repub candidates are all stellar.

I am disappointed with the Today Show's post debate coverage this morning. No candidate interviews...yet. Meh.

Morning Joe  had a phone interview with Donald Trump in response to the debate coverage

  I have noticed that the right wing media constantly emphasizes that the Democratic Party is dying and voters don't like their candidates.  None of this has any basis in actual facts.  But this is why many people on the right believe that the left steals elections and that voter ID laws are necessary.

Also, have we discussed Mike Huckabee's obnoxious tweeting during the debate? I can't believe he is still in the race.

So the consensus throughout the Internet is that Bernie won. He won the non scientific Internet polls, he won in donations, and web hits. So he won the debate. And anyone suggesting otherwise is just corporate media or in the pocket for HRC. Hillary did not win. It's a myth. This sentiment is EVERYWHERE right now. Read any article on this topic.

One of the Berners in my feed said that Time Warner contributed to HRC, Time Warner owns CNN, and that's why the media is having us believe that HRC won the debate.

This was shared 3 times today by my Berners.

I'm a little disappointed I don't have any berners in my feed.
