"Democratic candidates in one another's face for the first time."

This is how CNN is pimping this -- just like a boxing match. Disgusting and unserious.

And CBS is saying "Sanders better dial it down." And it appears the debate is back to 9 PM Eastern instead of the 8:30 they announced. maybe they want the half hour for the unnecessary "color commentary" intended to rile up everyone to stay tuned to watch the high-priced commercials.

CNN has all the 'swoosh' sounds. It's like watching the pre-game show on the super bowl. What the hell is this?
