(154,021 posts)By the way, not letting an interviwer move on when you answer a question is not precisely being cranky. Rather it is called staying on message

(154,021 posts)Will re-listen to the interview.
To me it is partially a lesson of what not to do. I expect this from rank beginners, or agenda driven reporting.
Or, an interviewer who did not do due diligence before the interview with background

madokie
(51,076 posts)is Hillary supporters are trying to paint Senator Sanders in a very negative light. I've listened to the interview and I didn't come away from it thinking this at all.
Why is that?
I noticed that he was faced with very and I mean Very Loaded questions that would have had me telling someone to f off. He didn't and that to me is a mark of a good solid not to be confused with an asshole person.
Oh boy, you all are so transparent LOL

Hopefully it will backfire and people will want to see what all the hubbub is about aka free advertising.

Hillary will never be a President. Bernie will. An ocean of difference
LordGlenconner
(1,348 posts)I didn't hear the interview and I suspect it's more likely Bernie was just being Bernie, which is a good thing. But let's cut out the babe in the woods act. There are plenty of Bernie supporters here working very hard to paint Hillary in a negative light as well on a daily basis. So it seems like maybe turnabout is fair play.

rufus dog
(8,419 posts)I didn't hear it, but he often comes across as gruff, cranky, annoyed, pick your adjective,he also has funny hair.
To be purposely blunt, why the fuck do I care? Is he not the type of guy you want to have a beer with?
And as a HRC supporter, I suggest you tread lightly when discussing how a candidate comes across.

It didn't do well.

KingCharlemagne
(7,908 posts)to yours, i.e., that Sanders handed David Green his ass on a platter.
Of course, looking at your logos, it's hardly surprising that you'd slink to a personal ageist attack ("cranky" , rather than discuss anything of substance. Of course, your personal attack on Sanders is perfectly in line with Hillary's stock in trade and that of her proxies, Gutierrez, McCaskill, et. al.
Aren't you proud of yourself? What's next, some good old-fashioned red-baiting a la Tailgunner Joe?

bluesbassman
(19,387 posts)Good to know. Is it fair to assume that sexist descriptors wiil be ok for use in describing Clinton's interviews and speeches? Not that I use either, but in case I happen to land on a jury for ageist or sexist remarks I'd like to have a little foreknowledge of where the community standards wind is blowing.

HUMAN RIGHTS ARE EQUAL RIGHTS
Bernie will endure.

So, why so discombobulated?
