"Where did that come from?" S. Mangini asked her husband when Gilibrand started to talk about health care reform.
"This is ridiculous. They made him answer every part of that question. Then they let her just say she was pro-choice then whatever she wanted to talk about. This isn't being run well at all," D. Mangini said in response.
Once again, the female reporter had asked Treadwell a question, and interrupted him before he could complete his thought.
S. Mangini was frustrated. "She's interrupting him and asking him questions before he can get a complete sentence out. She wasn't doing that to her (Gilibrand) they just let her ramble, and she does. If we didn't have such a nice T.V. I would really throw something at it."
Overall the Mangini's weren't pleased with how the debate was conducted. They felt the whole thing was run very unfairly, as Treadwell was constantly interrupting and kept on track and Gilibrand was allowed to ramble on about anything, not answering the questions.
"It had a very unprofessional feel to it. Clearly they were being easier on Gilibrand, debates shouldn't be like that," S. Mangini said.
"This is bullshit," D. Mangini said.
