    She was already on record with the release that she is claiming he said that her.  I think the moderator wanted to get Sanders on record before asking Warren what she thought about it.  We already knew Warren says it happened.  I don't see anything wrong with it, tbh.

    Sounds to me like somebody is lying.  I'd like to know who.

    My analog TV converter reception nixed any chance of watching.  Anything that stands out from this debate besides the Warren/Sanders spat?

    Are you really "honest" saying that?

    It's a crummy way to word the question. Completely disregarding the answer to the question to Sanders that he gave. It reads like a SNL sketch.

    Why even ask Sanders? If his answer isn't even gonna affect and instead be disregarded for the follow up questions?

    I'd say it's even a crummy and shitty question to ask. When it is not known if it was said or not, asking her about how she feels about this thing that is not known to have existed is BS.

    It is one thing to ask "But Elisabeth Warren, you have stated that he did say it? And what do you believe would be the reason to?" or whatever.

    But asking "this thing we do not know happened but I will ask like it in fact happened - how did this thing make you feel?"

    I don’t agree with Bernie on much, but i believe he is a sexist that doesn’t think a women can be POTUS about as much as I would believe Sanders being accused of using campaign funds to build an American Ninja training complex in his backyard. 

    Bonkers that this is the top story of the debate.

    Am I being honest, I think so.   Why would I lie about it?  Im not saying it was an excellent construction of the question,  but  Warren is on record already.  Bernie's belief or non non belief is the issue,  not the moderator question.

    I think the debate was lame, leaving this the only thing of note to drive some clicks.

    As long as it is up in the air if it a "belief or non on belief", the moderator should not frame it as being a fact it is a belief and ask Warren how she felt about this thing we do not if it being a belief or not a belief.

    It was a junk question, in how it was worded.

    1. One of those people is flat out lying and only one of them was asked directly about it on a nationally televised debate

    2. This exchange:
    CNN: “Sen. Sanders, I do want to be clear here, you’re saying that you never told senator Warren that a woman could not win the election?"
    SANDERS: "That is correct."
    CNN: “Sen. Warren, what did you think when senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?"

    I am by no means a Sanders supporter, but come on.

    I watched the first 90 minutes and there was nothing else noteworthy.
