That's something that stands out in these debates, particularly last night.
He always looks very antsy the minute she starts talking. He starts raising his hand wildly. Why does he doe this, does he not understand the debate format by now?
You always get to respond if you or your record is criticized. So why does he act like a junior high school kid 'Ooh-ooh-oohing' the teacher?
It's not a great look for him running against the most viable female candidate for President ever. No doubt the Bernie supporters will insist this has nothing to do with sexism.
Even if she were not a woman, it's just very rude all the faces he makes. He laughs sarcastically, he looks aggravated. She will be talking for 5 seconds and already he'll be trying to take her mic back.
She doesn't do this. If you watch her, when he speaks she looks like she's listening very closely and respectfully. When he slams her-and he slamming her every other second now-she doesn't lose her composure-as she knows she'll get a chance to respond.
"The senator from Vermont had effectively walked a fine line in the previous six debates when it came to attacking Clinton without coming across as bullying or condescending. He tripped and fell while trying to execute that delicate dance on Sunday night. Sanders's "excuse me, I'm talking" rebuttal to Clinton hinted at the fact that he was losing his temper with her. His "Can I finish, please?" retort ensured that his tone and his approach to someone trying to become the first female presidential nominee in either party would be THE story of the night."

He also tripped when he tried to discuss racism.
"Put aside the fact that Sanders misstepped on tone, he also did nothing to change the underlying dynamics of the race. If you think Wall Street is the problem for much of what ails the country, you were for Sanders before this debate and certainly for him after it, too. But, as we know from the first 40 percent or so of states that have voted, there aren't enough of those people to make him the nominee. Sanders didn't knock Clinton off her game in any meaningful way, making the debate a loss for him. (Sidebar: His answer about white people not knowing what it is like to live in a ghetto or be poor would have been a massive gaffe if he was not as far behind in the delegate chase as he is.)"

Yes, everything you wrote here was very true. He is getting desperate and rude. They didn't touch on foreign policy and he goes down the tubes when you start talking about that!
