    Does it bother you that the Democrat debates rarely, if ever, have the gotcha questions you think are important?

    This is a real wonderful way to deflect from the truth that not all real issues are put on the table because the candidates agree to terms before the debates.

    Subtle psychology as well. Hillary being crucified by republicans netter her a huge boost in her poll numbers, so Republicans decided they should get a crucifixion too. American voters love a crucified candidate.

    To Bernie Sanders on him being a "socialist"
    COOPER: You don't consider yourself a capitalist, though?

    -----

    To Clinton regarding her emails.

    COOPER: Secretary Clinton, Secretary Clinton, with all due respect, it's a little hard -- I mean, isn't it a little bit hard to call this just a partisan issue? There's an FBI investigation, and President Obama himself just two days ago said this is a legitimate issue.

    -----

    COOPER: ...Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter? Let's put that question to Senator Sanders.

    -----

    Cooper alluding to Clinton being in bed with wall street.

    COOPER: Just for viewers at home who may not be reading up on this, Glass-Steagall is the Depression-era banking law repealed in 1999 that prevented commercial banks from engaging in investment banking and insurance activities.

    Secretary Clinton, he raises a fundamental difference on this stage. Senator Sanders wants to break up the big Wall Street banks. You don't. You say charge the banks more, continue to monitor them. Why is your plan better?

    Why bother? It's like arguing with a fan who's convinced that the refs have it out for their team.

    It's maddening sometime to watch these debates. They rarely stay on topic, have good questions, etcs. But it is what it is.

    However, if you can't handle it, however bias you perceive it to be, you aren't presidential material. Sore losers.
