[cal04]

Source: TPM

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) came to the defense of his rival, Hillary Clinton, during Tuesday's first Democratic debate over questions about her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

"Let me say something that may not be great politics. But I think the secretary is right," he said, gesturing toward Clinton. "And that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails."

“Thank you. Thank you,” Clinton said in response, breaking into surprised laughter.

Their exchange was met with some of the loudest applause of the night.

Being authentic has its rewards.....

21. It sure was on Morning Joe today! They talked about it a lot...

[mr goodbeer]

2. Amen!

[Historic NY]

3. Bernie has spoken.

[Fred Sanders]

4. Stating the fact that the GOP are a bunch of lying fact-denying panderers is just stating a fact.

And showing sincerity and genrosity is not going to hurt Sanders with the voters in a nation grown accustomed to the vile hostility and hate of the GOP.

[Dustlawyer]

5. Completely united in recognizing and fighting Republican bull shite!

[BeanMusical]

6. Wow, amazing!

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

7. The civility behind driving the point was impressive.

The issue itself is a waste of time and money. Point to fact. A seedling may have formed.

[turbinetree]

8. It was ................................

one of the defining moments in this campaign, that finally with a graciousness from what this public wanted and Mr. Sanders gave to Ms. Clinton, that we the public are tired of this crap, and Senator Sanders came and defended Ms. Clinton, and she was taken a back at firsts and was also gracious -----------------we want answers for the ISSUES-------------we already know what happened, and Senator Sanders basically shut down what CNN was trying to accomplish look for ratings.

The right wing Congress defunded force protection for our foreign service officers

Thank you Senator Sanders





Honk-----------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

22. I think they both looked superb last night. And compared to the repubs...

9. Feel the Bern

Darn tootin.

[Stuart G]

10. That moment is beyond amazing...So powerful, you can feel the connection. Two agree, fu*k emails

It is real, not staged. An incredible moment for the Democratic Party. And the U.S.A

Two politicians ...well known, came together for a moment, in total agreement. ...Fu*k the emails..lets talk about something else..the countries problems!!!!!!!!!!!!....

Standing ovation for that moment.. The audience understood that moment and agreed..makes me smile..

thanks for posting......

11. Cannot K&R this hard or fast enough

[ReRe]

12. It was a "Berning" debate

Besides "tired of hearing about your damn e-mails", the other words that stuck out to me was when Bernie described the current Middle East mess as "...a quagmire in a quagmire." Got pretty tired of Webb's whining, though. And, not that I minded it, but Hill pulled the "gender card" at least twice that I remember. I thoroughly enjoyed the debate.

19. I thought it funny that Hillary responded to the question

"Why won't you just be the 3rd Obama term (paraphrasing)?"

Hillary: The big difference, er, the only thing I can think of is I have a vagina?

[CTyankee]

23. I thought she was wonderful talking as a mother of a sick baby and having to go to court

the next day. It was very moving to me. She's lived this. I think I liked that moment best. I think lots of women are going to see that clip and say "she knows this because she's lived it."

[Psephos]

13. He doesn't want to be President if that's his strategy.

Nice gesture, but naive. Nice gestures do not defeat Clintons. And Clintons do not return favors unless it benefits them.

No one on that stage took HRC to the woodshed over the email issue, despite it being a decision issue for tens of millions of primary voters. A bunch of political amateurs, imo.

I support Bernie. Either he dumps the "not great politics" approach or he will be eliminated by a Clinton team that has no misgivings about how the game of national politics is played.

[snagglepuss]

17. I disagree for several reasons. 1- Its a very decent thing to do and

that display of spontaneous decency is a great first impression and the debate is really the first time many people actually see him. 2 - It counters the stereotype that those on the left are strident, negative and uncouth rabble rousers. 3 - Humor is incredibly endearing and that humorous quip endeared his to thousands, for a second it clearly endeared him even to Hillary.

[Stuart G]

14. That moment in the bottom picdture..is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wonderful post...nt

[Skittles]

15. he is correct, and he was noble to say it during that debate

yes indeed

[C Moon]

16. That was a great moment. I think this clip will be around for a long time.

[avaistheone1]

20. Yes, it was a great moment in this debate and

in the history of the Democratic campaign for the White House.

[pangaia]

18. Look at the difference in their smiles in that second photo.

In my view, that is the difference between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton
