Michael Moore: Sanders won the Dem debate
Mark Hensch
The Hill

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said late Tuesday that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) won the first Democratic presidential debate.

“Chris Matthews nails it: Sanders won,” he tweeted, echoing the MSNBC anchor’s assessment of the event in Las Vegas.

“Never be4 @ a mainstream debate has a Prez candidate dared 2 question the core system of wealth & power,” Moore said of Sanders’s performance.
“History was made tonite: A conscientious objector running 4 Prez, who believes in democratic socialism, stood & spoke & was wildly applauded,” he added.

Moore praised Sanders’s handling of both fiscal and racial issues.

“Thank you Bernie for just saying it: Black Lives Matter,” he wrote. "And for mentioning Sandra Bland – killed in a cop’s jail in Texas.”

“Quote of the night – Sanders: 'Congress doesn’t regulate Wall Street, Wall Street regulates Congress,” Moore said. "Huge applause.”

Moore also charged that Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s is not capable of resisting wealthy special interests.

“Well, any of you with a good sniffer knows what I know from what we all just heard: The banks are going to love President H. Clinton,” he said.

16. Hillary is a good person, nothing evil about her!

She has give up her private life, and has been
serving the American people since her early
20's.

[Joey Joe Joe]

22. She got her private life back in 2012.

Or thereabouts after Secretary Kerry took over.

She is a private citizen now, not a public official.

[lewebley3]

23. Since the Day Hillary became a public person, she can never have a private life!

2. The only way is with

millions of people coming together and voting for Bernie ....those voting machines need to be burning with The Bern.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

19. Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

[bkkyosemite]

21. Agree!

3. Bernie Said It Not Hillary - Wealth Can't Win Every Time

"“Never be4 @ a mainstream debate has a Prez candidate dared 2 question the core system of wealth & power,” Moore said of Sanders’s performance. "

Bernie said it.

Not Hillary.

Hillary's friends rigged the game.

Bernie, and us will fix it.

Michael Moore will help.

24. Hillary's moneyare peanuts compared to the GOP: She will have to go begging like all Dem's

Hillary and Bill didn't really have any wealth until they left the
white house, and if they didn't have some success in making
money you would be calling them losers.

[Faux pas]

[Bernblu]

5. Yes, elect Clinton

and you'll just love the bankers going back and forth between the white house and wall street the next four years. The big banks are beyond too big to fail. They're becoming too big to save but Clinton won't break them up. You better get wise America or we're all going to be in the poor house when the banks fail again!

8. Sounds like Michael Moore will be getting attacked by Hillary supporters very very soon.

[leftofcool]

9. Hillary supporters do no bomb other people's FB pages.

[Bubzer]

12. I never said facebook.

[iamthe99]

11. I would think that even her supporters know this is true!

Moore also charged that Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s is not capable of resisting wealthy special interests.

[Hortensis]

13. I respect Moore a lot, but calling one winner at this point is silly.

Or in the case of someone of his intellect, dishonest. Moore's obviously doing Bernie promotion, telling people what to think, but what I expect from Moore is the honesty he built his reputation on.

[AlbertCat]

15. but what I expect from Moore is the honesty he built his reputation on.

And you just got some of it.

[Hortensis]

17. We have lots of conservative acquaintances who believe

Moore's documentaries are full of dishonest fabrications. They pretty much have to or abandon a lifetime of beliefs, of course, but do you share their opinion, AlbertCat?

[AlbertCat]

18. What?

[WillyT]

14. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. Thank you, Michael! A true Progressive who also speaks truth to power! Chris Matthews actually said

Bernie won? When I turned to MSNBC all he was doing was whining about Bernie picking on the poor put upon billionaires. He said Bernie blamed all this country's problems on the wealthy (like himself), but I didn't ever hear him say Bernie won. I think I'll faint!

[Oilwellian]

26. Here's the interview in its full glory

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. Thank you! That was a fantastic interview.

Go Bernie! The thing that drives me insane about Chris Matthews, he says whatever pops into his head without letting his interviewee finish a thought/answer. He constantly interrupts. It's rude and annoying as hell. One of my pet peeves actually, being interrupted, so maybe that's why it annoys me so much.

Thanks for the video!
