You want to know what I'm beyond sick of, and I think we can ALL agree with this;

I'm beyond sick of the phrase "We need to take a break." Is there anything that kills the flow and destroys interest in these debates than the need for corporations to sell widgets for corporations every 10 minutes throughout a Presidential debate?

These networks try to make them all about the networks and their paymasters.

If all they do is move around a little off camera it helps. Bernie and Hillary both have to be pretty achy by the time break comes and my bet is O'Malley is not comfortable either. Shifting your weight and putting a foot up behind the podium helps but only so much.
