Bernie's 20,000 retweeted Tweet:

"It's over. Not one word about economic inequality, climate change, Citizens United or student debt. That’s why the Rs are so out of touch.”

Hillary's 5,000 retweeted Tweet:

"Watch the #GOPdebate?”Bet you feel like donating to a Democrat right about now.”

Bernie didn't ask for money. He joined the Debate using Twitter to respond to the Repubs.

Hillary otoh, asking for money from ordinary people. Why? Isn't her campaign expected to get as much as $2.5 Billion from Corporations?

Bernie spent two hours on Twitter taking the Repubs on about ISSUES.

Hillary said nothing about issues.

Just a few observations since I was watching the debate between the Repubs and Bernie on Twitter, I don't watch the Corporate Media coverage of these events, and waiting for the other Dem candidates to join in.

We NEED real Debates! The DNC needs to respond to the PEOPLE who WANT these debates.

Of course Bernie is likely to win any debate with ANY Candidate from either party. And we know THEY know that. But the decision should not be in the hands of a few party leaders.

THAT decision SHOULD be what the PEOPLE want!

1. Quite a difference in priorities in those tweets, no?

But hey, the Kardashians prefer Clinton!

2. Yep. One is about issues, the other is about money. A perfect microcosm. n/t

3. Hillary and the Kardashians were tweeting Jon Stewart. He regularly

trashed Hillary on his show, but his expected audience was going to be very big. So I guess Hillary wanted to get her name out there to that audience.

Bernie meantime was totally focused on the issues.

Those two tweets are, as you said, 'a perfect microcosm'.

One focused on the people.

The other on herself.

4. Yes!!! Such a good comparison. Hillary=$$$

5. If Bernie could, he'd be debating the Republican candidates face-to-face.

I was intrigued by his proposal that some of the debates should be open to both parties, so voters could really see the contrast. That's somebody willing to take his game to the marketplace of ideas, win or lose, not someone who gets their bud to rig the game for them.
