The Biggest Loser of Tuesday's Dem Debate Wasn't Any of the Candidates

CNN’s bias was in full force Tuesday evening during the seventh Democratic debate, particularly in the way the moderators clearly favored Sen. Elizabeth Warren over Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Moderator Abby Phillip asked Sanders about the private meeting he had with Warren in which he allegedly told her (according to the network's reporting) that he didn't think a woman could win the election.

The Vermont senator said the idea he would believe that is “incomprehensible” and pointed to footage of him from 30 years ago talking about how a woman could become president of the United States.

I heard about this. I understand the questioning went something like this

To bernie: Did you say X to liawatha?
Bernie: No, I didn’t say X to liawatha.
To Liawatha: How did you feel when Bernie said X to you?

Not really. They will put a gun to his head and offer him another house. “Silver, or lead?” He’ll take the house and drop out.

The lamestream media and the democrat establishment (same thing really) are propping Biden up for two reasons.

First, Biden is viewed as the least batshit crazy of a field of batshit crazy democrat candidates. They see Biden as the likeable but senile old uncle who keeps forgetting where he is. That is better than giving the democrat nomination to one of the crazy stepchildren who are trying to loot the house and pawn the TV and silver. Biden is probably the only democrat candidate with a chance in hell of not getting beaten by Trump in a national landslide (visions of Nixon v. McGovern dance in their heads).

Second, if Biden is allowed to become irrelevant in the race then the democrats’ entire Ukraine narrative against Trump also becomes irrelevant. Trump supposedly leaned on Ukraine to investigate the Bidens because Biden was a threat to his re-election (again, visions of Nixon v. McGovern). If Biden had been allowed to quickly become a political has-been, it would have gutted the democrats’ carefully crafted impeachment scheme.

...offer him another house...

I'm pretty sure Bernie could negotiate another house, a boat, and a fancy car out of the deal.

Journalists do NOT represent represent the American people anymore... and they should NOT be moderating political debates.

"Journalists" represent the democrat party.

It's time to come up with a better system for debates.

Last time, as I understand, about 10% turned around and voted for Trump.

Sanders folks are talking about dragging MSNBC folks out and putting them against the wall if their guy loses. This is getting downright scary what the left has turned into. Rabid. Deadly. They want to put those of us who DARED to vote against their Communist takeover in 2016 into Gulags for re-education.

Yup, they have to put up a woman or they have no chance. And it will probably be a woman of color too.

They could put Hillary in black face, she would go along with it too.

Time to revive and update the old joke. Q. If Elizabeth, Bernie... were in a boat, and the boat sank, who would be saved? A. America
