DES MOINES, Iowa — The fireworks actually began flying a few hours before Saturday night’s Democratic presidential primary debate at Drake University.
A top aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., one of the three candidates, got into a lengthy dispute with executives from CBS, the network hosting the debate, during a conference call on Saturday morning. A staffer for one of the other campaigns who was also on the call described the exchange to Yahoo News as “heated†and even “bizarre,†and a second source on the call confirmed the nature of the exchange.
Sanders strategist Mark Longabaugh lit into CBS vice president and Washington bureau chief Christopher Isham when the changes to the debate were detailed on the call.
“It was a little bit of a bizarre scene. The Sanders representative, you know, really laid into CBS and basically … kind of threw, like, a little bit of a fit and said, ‘You are trying to turn this into a foreign policy debate. That’s not what any of us agreed to. How can you change the terms of the debate, you know, on the day of the debate. That’s not right,’†the staffer recounted.

So that’s his appeal to college students, safe spaces. I saw a poll at newsmaX that had him beating Trump and Bush, that is scary
That would be great. We need to promote that idea.
I think Sanders has some dementia setting in. Watching him in that first debate he looked out of sorts and rehearsed many times.
