The surprise threat!

btw, apparently Democrats love to yell & Las Vegas is filling in Joe Biden's chair.

FFS CNN; if you can't handle the traffic at least you could have a clever message accompanying that spinning wheel of doom....

if the boxing intro wasn't appalling enough, CNN's Twitter Moment is a bingo card which features "the metric system"? #DemDebate #ffs

Is Bernie's brother Larry doing commentary anywhere?

i wish Hillary could just own that changing her mind is a positive-it shows she thinks!

Bernie warms my little socialist heart:)

I know Denmark; I love Denmark-we are no Denmark.

BTW, Obama was unelectable. And, if T-rump is considered a serious candidate, why is CNN asking if Sanders is "unelectable"?

I may not agree with Sanders on guns, but I trust him on the end goal & on understanding the process it takes to get there

I bet all of the Democratic candidates could place Syria correctly on a map...

There are many things to be said about old white men; unelectable is not one of them.

benghazi bingo

Bernie, having spent most of his career as a Senator, comes across as a collaborator who believes leading & governing is about compromise.

The rest of the candidates seem to believe governing is about asserting power & leading by force.

Though I do love that none of these men can (successfully) interrupt Hillary.

Bernie is just not full of shit.... #DemDebate

In regards to regulating Wall St, there is no one less believable than Hillary... #DemDebate

I love how Hillary looks on in grudging admiration every time Bernie says what she wished she lacked the relationships to say. #DemDebate

Hillary is not an outsider; that's why she is powerful & capable; I wish she'd own that too..

"The Secretary is right." #DemDebate

The Secretary is wrong

Can you really trust a politician who either won't admit they tried drugs or chose not to so they could run for office decades later?

Especially in terms of making drug policy & criminal justice reform?

BTW: Hillary will choose a VP who brings her more votes....so not OMalley...maybe Bernie might, but wtf would he want to be her VP?

Forget her rivals, Hillary ought to ask Kanye to be her VP..

Bernie is far less unelectable than Barack was..if he wins, I hope he selects Elizabeth Warren..but if he loses, Castro or Booker will be VP

Since Bernie does have a brother Larry, maybe @GarryShandling can win him the election?

If Oprah got Obama one million votes...

Given CNNs fightstyle intro, I expected their focus group to use ClockworkOrange(or at least Google style)eyetracking. & track # of eyerolls

(Btw-either Secretary or Rep Castro (who were my HLS classmates) would be an amazing VP for Hillary:) (Feel bad about my character limiting)

at first, it bothered me that the media invented the T-rump candidacy & ignored (or dubbed unelectable) Sand

SA6G

but maybe being dubbed an unelectable socialist (& thus given less attention) is how Bernie Sanders, like his predecessor, gets elected.,

Maybe CNN's obvious blindness to their complicity & capitalist bias actually helps Sanders-& lets him take socialism back from FoxNews?

And, also: has anyone studied the impact of calling Obama "socialist" & "unelectable" on voter behavior etc? Could this help Sanders win?

Silly, but: I'd love to know how often Obama wears a bulletproof suit. And, if Hillary has any bulletproof pants suits yet?

8 years ago, I did not think Obama could win-nor would I have believed that we'd today have marriage equality, legal marijuana or Obamacare!

BTW Happy Ada Lovelace folks & thanks for inspiring me. Also, dammit CNN, yet another missed opportunity to discuss gender in the #DemDebate

Very smart for Hillary to suggest her VP will be Secretary Castro before the primaries; what would hurt Bernie more?

https://twitter.com/politico/status/654844970826866688

As much as I'd like for Sanders to choose Warren, I doubt it'd have the same effect. If only he could convince Rep Castro to betray his twin

I still think Hillary'll chose Sec Castro...but if Warren was her VP, she'd win back Bernie diehards & my enthusim.huffpost.com/us/entry/yes-h…hR46

I'm dubious Warren would say yes; I'm not sure she'd be willing to defend & promote Hillary's policies...nonetheless I can dream:)

Discomfited by Hillary's institutionalism & its correlated hawkishness, I'd be a lot more keen if her VP appealed to Sanders voters.

So...I'm still dubious that Warren would be willing to put aside her views to support Hillary as her VP...but it seems to be scaring T-rump.

I still think Hillary'll chose Julian Castro or maybe Tom Perez for VP...why lose a Senate seat? (or have policy disagreements?)

Bummed she didn't choose either Castro or Perez, but, I guess whatever, the job of the VP is to agree with & serve as backup to POTUS.
