And I think what you're seeing is Bernie becoming more comfortable on stage. He's not afraid to react when Hillary says something ridiculous about him.

It's the type of nonsense that appears on RW sites. Comments about her looks, clothing, hair, etc. are sexist and inane. They also have zero to do with her candidacy.

Her responded are clear and concise. He wandered all over the place. Was he swatting flies all night or was he leading an orchestra ?? .

i was overwhelmed by the distraction of his hand waving. HE WAS NOT EFFECTIVE TONIGHT.

and turned to Bernie and been, like "you okay, there, man? Need a lozenge? Maybe Gwen's got a ricola or something"

See, that would have been funny, and humanizing. That's what I would have done.

Oh, well, missed opportunities.

... there would be a half dozen OPs up right now about how she was trying to portray him as a sickly old man, physically unable to keep up with the rigors of running for office, no less handling the duties of that office.

It's sad - but we both know that's exactly what would have happened.
