he's not trying to swing detail-oriented voters. you don't swing detail-oriented voters: they look at data and decide. the people you swing at a debate like this are people that think with their gut. the more you get into facts, the more you come off like a talking head. which is to say he'd be doing himself some good if he really did sound a little more like trump (the difference, of course, being that sanders actually has a platform for people to go look up, should they choose to).
i'm going to actually watch this debate. i haven't watched any yet. hey - i'm a canadian. and a data analyst, not a politician. i watched the canadian debates in the fall. but, i'm just doing other things...
but i'll watch this one. and i'll get back to you on it. hopefully i'm not censored anymore by the time it's done.
