Elections ***Second Democratic Primary Debate play-by-play thread: Night 1. ***

[Richie Madano]

Warren needs to smoke a bowl before she debates. Relax jeebus

Warren looks just like these memes when she debates. Eyebrows, facial expression, everything but the bald head.

 

[Richie Madano]

Sitting here watching with my wife,

The only one she’s responding positively to are Delaney and Ryan.

I, as a political strategy type think it’s Pete by a landslide.

He’s the most well-spoken in that group, but his intro was looney tunes. There was not a sane person in that debate.

 

[Richie Madano]

Amy Klobuchar is just so forgettable

Will never be presidential material, despite me liking her as a D senator

She doesn’t stand out at all.

 

[Richie Madano]

They could regain their sanity.

They’re going to have to after taking two strait L’s from Trump.

Actually I take that back. I can easily see the GOP getting crazier. The future of American politics isn’t looking good.

 

[Richie Madano]

Pete, Delaney were best, and Bernie was not excellent but much better tonight

Warren was okay, Beto was lukewarm

and 5 other people were there


ed: Bernie had the best "moment" when Tim Ryan fucked up and said Bernie didn't know something, allowing Bernie to reply: "I wrote the damn bill!"

Tim Ryan was visibly bitter over that the entire night.

 

[Richie Madano]

You thought he did that well? Wow, I thought Beto reinforced every negative idea people had about him.

He looks anemic and a pencil necked geek. He has no hope of winning president, now or ever.

They aren’t really supporting her. It’s all just ironic non-ironic-double-irony

In other words, they want you to believe they’re seriously supporting her as a joke—which is in fact what they’re doing.

That's how all the 4 Chan trump support started.

 

[Richie Madano]

Literally like this:

Yeah but Williamson is a lot more sympathetic than a reporter trying to play hard ball. I sincerely felt sorry for her when she got cut off and said “I wanted to say something on immigration and you skipped me. I hope you’ll come back to me”.

 

[BudKing8806]

I was busy getting drunk and laid while this happened.

What did I miss?

Just the usual empty promises. Like every other debate.

 

[Prokofievian]

Bernie and Warren destroyed the diet Republicans this time. Ryan and Delaney got roasted bad, both need to drop out asap. Delaney got tag teamed, almost felt bad, almost.

Wow, Warren finally pointed out the obvious about insurance companies: specifically, that they're a scam. If their service were worth what you paid for it, they would go out of business. They are worse than bookies: bookies at least provide for some entertainment. People get addicted to ruining their lives on a sportsbook. Aint nobody addicted to insurance premiums.

 

[Richie Madano]

lol



@Amerikuracana

Best president of my lifetime.

 

[Easy The Great]

Don Lemon is a fucking piece of shit

 

[Mcountry]

Don Lemon is a fucking piece of shit

Thats like proclaiming that water is wet.

 

[ocean size]

Warren and Bernie really letting their big nuts hang. It's good to see. The centrist no-names look like they were stood up on stage as tackling dummies.

College is for doctors, nurses, statisticians, scientists, business people, lawyers, writers, teachers, and computer programmers. If those aren’t your career aspirations, then college is a waste of time and money.

Spoken like someone who was too dumb or lazy to make it in college. I am none of those but have a degree and work in my chosen field.

Good for you. Want a cookie?

Most people with 4 year degrees make less than people who learn trades.

Yes, I like peanut butter.

Looking at the poll here and reports, Delaney seems to have made most of his opportunity.

Biden got the nomination. Why have this dog and pony show? And insanely crazy at that... lol at green new deal guaranteed govt jobs, 2 trillion dollars “investments”, and 500 billion reparations money. Some noname candidates made sense, but they’re no match for the pocahontas insanity. You can actually see it in her eyes— crazy, seething, baba yaga. Bernie is ancient, so we’ll forgive his stage shenanigans

Elizabeth Warren comes off really badly. "Moralizing" as somebody put it is a turnoff. Doctrinaire.
She has no chance. She is really smart but fuckin intolerable. I liked her till last night. She makes Hillary Clinton seem likable.

For an explanation of what it is about Warren that perturbs her colleagues, I sought out an observant former Senate Democratic aide of many years’ standing. What he said echoed comments and stories I’d heard from senators and reporters who’ve dealt with Warren. “She projects a ‘holier than thou’ attitude that her colleagues find irritating. She’s very doctrinaire. She’s somewhat ‘My way or the highway’—not as much as Bernie Sanders, but up there,” he said. “She has a moralizing to her . . . She rails against Wall Street, which may be appealing to some people, but it’s too simplistic to work as an analysis. But she’s very good at finding issues that resonate with middle Americans,” he added, citing the hearing-aid story. He went on: “She’s a little aloof; she’s strong in her convictions, unwilling to bend.”
