I was watching it Friday night and I love Bernie Sanders - think he's awesome.

But he was outgunned and beat up verbally by stupidity, stupid people, stupid people talking points. And Abby Huntsman needs to grow up. She came across as a whiney, selfish little snot on Friday evening.

Moore was finally put in his place by Maher and Co. when Maher asked him how much GE paid in taxes last year -- $0. Moore kept saying the US had the highest corporate tax rate but wouldn't admit that corporations only contribute 7% of the actual tax base right now. Prior to Reagan's Admin, they contributed 35% of the nation's tax base.

Sanders dud a good job answeing Moore's talking point "where should we cut if we don't cut the social safety net?" Sanders immediately replied "the military." And then added making corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
