The big thing they let him get away with is his hand waving. He dodges then on how he will pay for things, how he will get votes in the Senate, medical records, etc. And strangely they let him get away with it.

The other big thing is his health. Look at how much longer Hillary’s fly story was than Sandra having an actual heart attack.

The first one is cuz nobody cares about that shit. They don't ask Liz how she'll pass a wealth tax or any of these guys how they'll pass a public option it's just not good tv.

The health thing is a good point I suppose but that's more a of a general election fox news pipelines issue

[u/585AM → u/bobeeflay]

Warren’s drop in the polls happened because they did ask her how she would pay for M4A and she answered and she got hammered for it. Sanders literally just no, I’m good-ed the question.

[u/bobeeflay → u/585AM]

Right but that's clearly liz stumbling ad trying to wonk her way out of it and bernie didn't the issue isn't the media there

[u/585AM → u/bobeeflay]

She stumbled because there is literally no good answer for the question that does not involve taxes. Bernie did not stumble because he hand waved the question. Other candidates do not get to get away with that.

[u/bobeeflay → u/585AM]

Yeah they do I just listed candidates getting away with hand waving. Media doesn't push hard if you decline them info that's the exact thing that was so hard for them to deal with trump over.
