Bernie doesn't possess the "Magic Coin" that MSNBC flipped 99th_Monkey Feb 2016 #39
Yeah, he's been first every single time. lob1 Feb 2016 #56
So, my question is - does he agree to this and if so, WHY? or if it 's not his choice LiberalElite Feb 2016 #60
No big deal, Bernie doesn't need the same advantages as Hillary.... he's got authenticity on his side. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2016 #84
Bernie has awesomeness madokie Feb 2016 #117
I think you summed it up perfectly. Bernie is the real deal.... some people's inability to see thru Hillary's "schtick" just amazes me. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2016 #123
Bernie WON he coin toss. I assume he had his reasons to chose going first? bettyellen Feb 2016 #69
Does a 'win' mean you go first, or does it mean you get to pick whether you go first or second? JimDandy Feb 2016 #83
Good question- a friend of mine pointed out viewership can drop off after 10 PM, so I think first is bettyellen Feb 2016 #94
Must be using the same coin as in Iowa! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2016 #79
Listen carefully: HE CHOSE TO GO FIRST. Beacool Feb 2016 #80

Cool - lets play one on one Texas Hold 'em. Lucky Luciano Feb 2016 #37

Hell Yeah... That's The POINT... CorporatistNation Feb 2016 #9
I don't see the issue KingFlorez Feb 2016 #12
Sanders stands for something. Not so sure WHAT Hillary stands for. nc4bo Feb 2016 #15
You're kidding, right...? nt SusanCalvin Feb 2016 #42
No KingFlorez Feb 2016 #45
I guess that this explains why this lady NEVER goes first in these debates! cascadiance Feb 2016 #17
^^ This. Hillary always bats last. winter is coming Feb 2016 #19
They said they flipped a coin and Bernie won. stopbush Feb 2016 #28
That was implied, but I don't think it was clear that it was his *choice* to go first! cascadiance Feb 2016 #33
If she's allowed to listen in, that's a distinct advantage and why she chooses to be last. AtomicKitten Feb 2016 #29
She didn't choose. Bernie did. He won the toss. But keep making shit up. JTFrog Feb 2016 #150
Well gosh that information wasn't available when I made my post so I'm glad to retract. AtomicKitten Feb 2016 #154

I'm sorry, did Bernie request an isolation booth? brooklynite Feb 2016 #18
Well, I hope he's not in one now..ha ha n/t tokenlib Feb 2016 #20
I guess he thinks he's in a townhall. Evindently she thinks she's in a debate... cascadiance Feb 2016 #23
So Bernie didn't respond to any of Clinton's stated positions and policies? brooklynite Feb 2016 #24
He didn't respond to what she would LATER say AFTER he sat down! cascadiance Feb 2016 #27
Agree With Cascadiance...Bernie Did Not HAve To Effing CHEATTTTT!!!1 CorporatistNation Feb 2016 #38
Sigh... SusanCalvin Feb 2016 #50
Maybe the two campaigns new this was allowed and didn't care. brooklynite Feb 2016 #51
I guess it's possible they knew, if it did in fact happen. SusanCalvin Feb 2016 #57
Why won't Bernie Sanders reveal the rules? What's he trying to hide? brooklynite Feb 2016 #61
Are you freaking kidding? Bernie doesn't make the rules. He follows them. Unlike HRC. Bubzer Feb 2016 #66
He will not mention it, I'm sure. SusanCalvin Feb 2016 #120
Good question. kstewart33 Feb 2016 #55
Whether that is or is not the case, the fact is Bernie did not say anything that he hasn't said still_one Feb 2016 #126
Oh geez. Some people can't stay up past 10PM so it's not 100% advantage to go second! nt OhZone Feb 2016 #21
Maybe Bernie can't stay up past 10pm. lol eom artyteacher Feb 2016 #36
She may have watched him, but it hasn't helped her. EndElectoral Feb 2016 #22
That much is true. It still isn't right. nt SusanCalvin Feb 2016 #47
