But here is a thing that has literally never happened on a debate stage:

Someone, anyone, saying, "Senator Sanders, you campaigned for the Socialist Workers Party at a time when they were defending the Iranian hostage taking of American citizens. What does that say about your judgment?"

Or: "Senator Sanders, you supported the Nicaraguan revolutionary and dictator Daniel Ortega. You also supported the Cuban revolutionary and dictator Fidel Castro. Both of whom terrorized their people and worked aggressively against American interests. What does that say about your judgment?"

Or: "Senator Sanders, at a time when millions of political prisoners died at the hands of the Gulag Archipelago, you went to Russia for your honeymoon and came home praising the Soviet Union. What does that say about your judgment?"
...........
The debate moderators were absolutely derelict in not asking Sanders about this when he brought up Bloomberg's support of George W. Bush. And the other Democratic candidates were committing political malpractice.
