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

Who Won the Debate?


  • Total voters
    86
A panel of mostly smart people discussing policy and being civil to each other even in disagreement. Must be a democratic debate I’m watching. Seriously, this is a solid group. Too bad Delaney will probably never make a dent, he’s just about my speed.

Republican debates are way more entertaining. Change my mind.
 
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.

Of course, they are pandering to the centrists.

Not a winning strategy in a Dem primary.

Reperations is the dumbest general election issue in the world. It is smart politics in a Dem primary where the black vote will decide who wins a shit tonne of delegates.
 
Amy Klobuchar is just so forgettable

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

I joke that he sucks but he’s probably 100x better than every republican in the 2016 primary.
 
Pete B kills it on authorization of force. Love the point that people not even born on 9/11 will soon be fighting in Afghanistan.
 
I almost wish Beto was president just for the LULZ

Maybe Swallwell as VP
 
Just straight up, I would not want beto as the president. Foreign leaders would look stronger.
 
Welp, I'm not gonna last. From what I saw:

Bernie: Fail
Warren: Strong showing
Pete: Stable
Beto: Done
Williamson: Just fucking incredible. Vote Williamson.


Later taters.
 
Like to hear people saying bring our troops home and democrats won’t call each other Russian puppets for doing so.

REFRESHING!!

now let’s tell the media and democrats to not call Trump a Russian puppet when he tries to get us out of wars and new conflicts
 
Delaney gonna lose every ounce of support he's gained by advocating for keeping a "peacekeeping" force in the middle east
 
are they gonna talk about the tranny that hacked capital one? Booker said we need to talk more about trans people.
 
Liz has no idea what a nuclear weapon is and what it is capable of.
