In this week’s Acronym TV with Dennis Trainor, Jr., we dive into the first of the six scheduled Democratic Presidential debates.

Has Bernie Sanders found his ceiling, or was his performance in Tuesday night’s CNN debate a launching pad that will see him closing on Hillary Clinton in the polls?

Episode breakdown:

Segment 1: I’ve Never “Felt The Bern”, Is Now the Time? A former senior staff member for Jill Stein’s Presidential campaign (yours truly) gives Bernie a fresh look. Can I just get over myself and #FeelThebern?

Segment 2: Can Hillary Save Capitalism From Itself? (starts at 8:02) With an assist from CNN and Anderson Cooper, the socialist was isolated. Hillary Clinton played the “the United States not Denmark card” in defense of Capitalism and American Exceptionalism, but is socialism such a third rail anymore?

Segment 3: Bernie Sanders v. Hillary Clinton on the Climate Crisis (starts at 15:06) Steve Horn, Research Fellow for DeSmogBlog and a freelance investigative journalist whose work has appeared in Al Jazeera America, The Guardian, Vice News, The Nation, among others, joins host Dennis Trainor, Jr. to discuss the climate crisis proposals put forth in the debate. Do any rise to the level of the challenge?

Segment 4: "Whatever" Menstrual Trump (starts at 25:25) Last month, after "Whatever," the portrait of Donald Trump painted with menstrual blood was featured on Buzzfeed, it made internet waves, being covered on USAToday, MSNBC, Huffington Post, Reuters, Telemundo, and more, across many countries and translated into several languages. Now the artist is auctioning off the original work to benefit immigrants rights groups so they can “counter the racist filth about immigrants Trump had spewed on the campaign trail.” How cool is that?
