I'm not going to pretend this didn't bomb. It was...not strong.

I didn't expect their first set of debates to make me cringe as much as they did. At least I can be prepared for these. Hoping one of these Dems can actually answer a question with specifics, instead of sound-bitey pandering.

Also pleased to see my favorite crazy author is still in this (somehow)

I'd like to see my favorite crazy author get in (Republican, though).

That's the positive way to look at it. You overshot the target. I'd run with that.

I feel like John Delaney is hurt by looking like Homer Simpson's brother. From hearing him talk, I think he'd be a fine president, but nobody is going to take him seriously.

Let's hope the questions are better tonight than the first debate.

Note to DNC: The idea is to promote the Democratic brand not make candidates look like shit.

hard to take any of them seriously to be honest. only a couple of them have sounded like a sane person the majority of the time. trump should be easy to beat, but the dems will lose. they can't help themselves

Funny!

It's as if critics of the party wrote the questions last time. I don't see how that is a smart strategy for Dems.

No kidding. Do you know if the DNC is controlling the topics, or is CNN going to ask some of their own q's? Not sure how that whole thing works.

Promoting the Democratic brand makes candidates look like shit though. So I guess they’re fucked.

To right wingers who won't vote for them anyway? Sure. But the general public likes most of their ideas.

I can already hear the first question.....

"How many partial birth abortions will you carry out in your first 100 days?"

or

"Do you plan on executing all gun owners or just putting them in jail for life?"
