Here's why Bernie actually did win the debate

When Karl Rove calls you a cranky hobbit. It means that the republicans don't want to run against you.

“Vermont Senator Bernier (sic) Sanders came across as an elderly, dyspeptic Bilbo Baggins attending a British Labour Party meeting,” Rove said. “Mrs. Clinton might have looked good Tuesday standing on a platform with three intellectual dwarves and a cranky hobbit."


Dyspeptic Bilbo Baggins?



Keep it real Karl.

Rove is more like Grima Wormtongue

and Bernie is Gandalf: "Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!"



Actually, Bernie kind of looks like Gandalf!
