Michele Bachmann vs. Bernie Sanders Debate Goes Off the Rails

It was the type of shout-fest debate that would not have been out of place in the original Crossfire. But instead of taking place on the reboot of that show, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) went head-to-head on CNN's The Situation Room Monday afternoon. Once they got going, all host Wolf Blitzer had to do was get out of the way as these two ideologically-opposed lawmakers went at each other's throats for nearly fifteen minutes straight.

The presumed topic was income inequality, which is expected to be a major focus of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address tomorrow night. But over the course of the segment, the conversation covered a large variety of related topics from early childhood education to Wall Street regulations and everything in between.
