Bernie's jazz hands

Jonathan Capehart just used that line. He said it was very odd and distracting. Chris Matthews laughed and said he was trying to get the waiter all night.

Funny stuff but it does indicate he had a rough night because he was flustered. Why was he flustered?

Because Hillary Clinton had him on the ropes all night!

Sorry Senator Jazz Hands, you were beat badly.

I was in Court this week, representing a woman who was seeking an order of protection against her abusive husband. His mannerisms were quite telling- head shaking, sighing, leaning forward- while she was on the stand. It was intimidation and domination, yes, but also lack of respect, not just for her, but for the entire proceeding.

I am not in any way saying that Senator Sanders is abusive. From all appearances, he is a good guy. But I seriously doubt that Senator Sanders would have behaved the same way had it been a male at the other podium.

I think many men behave this way when women are speaking, and that we accept it as a society. Just one of many things we need to work on.

He interrupts, too. Tonight he also coughed every time she spoke. He seemed to control the urge the rest of the time.

Whatever the fuck that means I'm sure it's not sexist at all.

No double standard with those Bernie fans, is there?

trying to get the moderators attention. It was annoying and unnecessary since he just interrupted all the time anyway.
