Why is a debate "rigged" when it doesn't go Sander's way?

Farren cousin's on ring of fire says debate was rigged saying Sander's and Warren were booed relentlessly.

Relentlessly? 😂

Edit he said roundly not relentlessly to be fair

2. It did go Bernie's way, according to post-debate polling.

The $2000-a-seat audience seemed to have an affinity for Bloomberg, but that doesn't mean the actual Dem viewers agreed with them.

11. Do you still blame the media and polling if it goes Bernie's way?

As it seems those are your two go-to straw men. Or do you simply find another boogey-man to point fingers at?

6. It went Bernie's way big time. Farron Cousins is a bit over the top at times. Heart in right place

I'm glad he grew the beard. Doesn't look so rabid now. But you can't deny there was the painfully obvious effort on behalf of Bloomberg's money to shape the narrative of the debate.
So painful, that it will backfire.
Sanders raised 1.5M in the hour after the debate. Yes, that's peanuts to Bloomberg, but voters for Sanders.

To be fair.
