LAS VEGAS (The Borowitz Report)—In a major slip that may prove fatal to his Presidential ambitions, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont treated his principal opponent for the Democratic nomination with dignity and respect on Tuesday night.
Calling it a gaffe of historic proportions, many political insiders were still scratching their heads Wednesday morning over Sanders’s bizarre decision to act toward his opponent as if she were a fellow human being.
“I chalk it up to pressure,” the political strategist Harland Dorrinson said. “Sanders has never been on such a big stage before, and in the heat of the moment he cracked and behaved with nobility.”
“It was one of those moments where everyone in politics was like, ‘What was he thinking?’ ” Dorrinson added.
Carol Foyler, a veteran political operative, said that Sanders has one more debate, “at the most,” to prove that his respect gaffe was just that—a regrettable but forgivable slip of the tongue, not to be repeated.
“Bernie Sanders’s behavior towards Hillary Clinton Tuesday night has raised some grave questions about him in voters’ minds,” Foyler said. “If he treats people with decency and civility now, what kind of President would he be?”

It is good to get such humor into this presidential campaign. I watched the debate with neighbors on my road. It was so much better than how the Republicans savaged each other.
Go Bernie!

A humane, understanding one that also knows the difference from legitimate investigations and politicized witch hunts.
One that won't kowtow to asshole ultra right wing fuckheads in congress who are professional bullies; one that has the skill to still be 'polite' about it when he tells them to go fuck themselves.

“If he treats people with decency and civility now, what kind of President would he be?”
