He did, and I've no idea where he got that idea from.

Biden's doing fairly well with the housing question, I think.

I never understood the age limits. Here in Washington it's 18 for any state position.

People are gonna say, "bu-but when you're young you're stupid and don't have any life experience and therefore can't make decisions like a big boy!" Even though most of the older candidates are just as, if not more incapable of making certain decisions, I mean for god sakes no ones perfect at everything, I hardly believe Trump or Bernie are military strategists. Hell Preteens could have better military strategy than those guys.

What the fuck is this answering a question with a brief of policy? Shouldn't he be side swiping everyone and causing a clusterfuck.

"If you could honor the rules of the debate"

That ship sailed. Also, someone hit the wrong button on the sound board.

If we take for granted the Big Bad Conspiracy to Squash Bernie in the 'Media' then the perception that he fell flat in this debate can be rode as a narrative of the bloom being off the rose for Sanders.
