Reporter on MSNBC: Sanders Campaign went "ballistic" over change in opening topic to Paris

If Sanders can't pivot during a debate to address an international incident, how can he handle multiple foreign and domestic priorities as President?

4. Must be fun to just say things without any proof to back it up.

5. The OP posting something without proof, I call them on it, and you call me on what?

Not providing proof that they didn't provide proof??

You can't disprove something, it's a logical fallacy.

It's like trying to prove god doesn't exist. It's impossible. Like trying to prove superman doesn't exist.

You're wrong.

You're wrong to politicize Paris.

You're wrong to accuse Bernie of being what? Unpatriotic? Insensitive?

You're wrong for suggesting that he did anything different in his preliminary statement than ANYONE else on that stage. THEY ALL spoke of a variety of topics.

YOU-ARE-WRONG.

this morning where you have melted down and insisted that debate viewers didn't see what they viewed in real time. Sanders' response to the Paris question at the beginning was a jarring clanger. This was not one of those times when normal debate tactics were called for but a time to exhibit the ability to respond in the present to a real time crisis. He failed miserably.

It's team Clinton (including DWS) that wants as few debates as possible. Why is that?
