Cha's JournalAnd, why was bernie "caught flat footed".. his aide pitched a fit when he found out there were going
to talk about Paris. So he knew.. why didn't he prepare?
Circumstances change fast.. it's too bad he didn't expect to talk about the tragedy in Paris.. they didn't expect it to happen either.
Life changes on a dime especially if you're POTUS.. After a brief condolences to Paris he went to his "token stump speech on economics".. really? that's just a little robotic.

Sanders said he was “shocked” and “disgusted” by the attacks, for which ISIS terrorists have claimed responsibility, and vowed that the U.S. would lead the world to “rid our planet of this barbarous organization.” But immediately thereafter shifted back to his domestic policy.
“I’m running for president because,” Sanders said, “what I hear is people’s concerned that the economy we have is a rigged economy.”

Bottom line is .. Why was he unprepared?
I know.. BS fans don't know the damage they do when they campaign in his name like this.
I've seen it too many times.. they started out liking Bernie and then his supporters just ruined it for him.
They like to ask "how can you change because of us.. you have to look at what sanders says.. etc etc.." well it's hard to differentiate between the two when he's being pushed hard down people's throats by personally attacking them.
And, many are hearing what sanders is saying and not liking it so much.
Thank you for your OP, brave.. 
Actually BS lost it right out of the gate.. "He made a mistake right off the bat in switching from
Paris to the economy, and had an uneven performance,” a New Hampshire Democrat said.""Focused entirely on his base which demands the pure," said an unaligned Iowa Democrat. "Worst answer: Asked directly how he would work with a GOP Congress, he argued that the Political Revolution would sweep aside all in its path.”

Wow! Thanks for telling me about this, napkinz! With everyting goin' on I would have missed
it.
Thank you so much for all of this!
Interesting background on Peter Daou and Tom Watson.. #HillaryMen, DM M..
and the history of Hillary's work in New York after 9/11.
So what she helped rebuild Wall Street after Manhattan was devastated by suicide terrorists? Bernie gives her credit for it. But, his campaigners try to twist everything.

"It's no wonder that the Sanders campaign reportedly protested the shift in focus of Saturday's
debate to include more questions about foreign policy."Yeah, the Bernie campaign didn't expect the focus to change at Saturday's debate in Iowa.. Well, Paris didn't expect to be attacked either. Life can change on a freaking dime especially if you're POTUS.. they showed the world they can't handle it.
And, this is from the media who wants a horserace!
Mahalo DM M
Hillary knows things her rivals are only guessing at.. from your link..
"When Sanders called for regional powers, including Jordan, to get more involved in the fight against the Islamic State in Syria, she countered. “That is very unfair to a few you mentioned, most particularly Jordan, which has put a lot on the line for the United States, has also taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria.”http://time.com/4113590/democratic-debate-hillary-clinton-strategy/?xid=tcoshare
Thank you DM M!
For those who campaign for BS... this is it in a nutshell.. "Some folks are trying to make something
out of nothing.”In Iowa, Democratic activists not upset by Clinton’s Sept. 11 comments

Thank you so much for this, DM M!
"Seventy-seven percent of Democratic insiders surveyed called Clinton the winner, saying that of
the three candidates on the stage, she showed the most presidential stature."These Dems in NH get it.
Just go on being "pure" and avoid issues you don't want to talk about, Bernie. It's working so well.
“He made a mistake right off the bat in switching from Paris to the economy, and had an uneven
performance,” a New Hampshire Democrat said."His opening statement didn't go over with these NH Dems.
