Bernie Sanders Won the Debate, and Perhaps the Election, When He Defended Hillary ClintonBrian Hanley
Huffington Post
Bernie Sanders doesn't want to win the White House if it means losing his integrity. He's willing to protect even his political rival if it's in the name of justice.
This campaign cannot be about emails, but only Bernie Sanders was big enough to say that, on his competitor's behalf.
Bernie Sanders: "What the Secretary said is right. And that is the American people are tired of hearing about your damn emails."

(14,733 posts)I heard it more as exasperation with the media than a defense of Clinton, heh. But as long as it works in his favour, I'm happy.

(12,655 posts)i heard his frustration in his voice and he wasn't so much defending her as he was saying "enough with this bs that is sucking up all the oxygen."

(202 posts)I think this is going to be a good election and finally cover issues that really matter. It'll be interesting to see what Clinton does next. She's too politically savy to be in denial of Bernies strong showing. She's not going to give up, and she's not going to accept being number 2 for the third time.

(11,833 posts)comment. It shows that Sanders will not sacrifice his principles to win an election.
I don't know about it winning him the nomination or the presidency. But I respect it a great deal.
I also enjoyed Hillary's magnanimous word of thanks and handshake toward Bernie. I like her laugh as well. And Sanders' smile back towards her.
I'm glad Sanders also pointed out that the corporate media plays this silly game of going along with whatever nonsense the republicans try to sell, and that he doesn't play that game.
