Made a conscious effort to NOT watch. I may tune in tomorrow, but probably not. I'm going to wait until the field is whittled down to less than the population of New Delhi.
I'm not going to vote for crazy crystal lady or Andrew Yang or W a n g or whatever his name is.

I could hear shouty Grandpa from my kitchen, and Pocahontas, though well-versed in policy, did not help her reputation as a humorless scold by yelling at the audience. "That's not Funny!"
Moonbeam did her thing, of course. There were actually a couple of candidates who sounded good, like the governor of Montana and Congressman Delaney. Of course they are both polling below 1%
I... I just couldn't bring myself to watch. I've listened to long (anywhere from 40-60 minute) interviews with a lot of the candidates and I've found that very informative. What am I going to learn about these people in such short sound bites? No thanks. Debates are just goofy spectacles that allow the punditry can declare winners and losers.
I'll tune in when Uncle Joe and Trump challenge one another 'to step outside.' There is a non-zero chance that happens if Biden is the nominee.
De Blasio had to endure the slings and arrows of the other candidates because he hasn't summarily fired the officer who choked out Eric Garner yet, but he can't. He's union. Of course De Blasio couldn't say that on stage.

No winners, Biden lost less than last time. If this continues, four more years of the Donald and the statute of limitations runs out on most things.
I said it before in the other thread and I'm holdin
Uncle Joe as the candidate with experience and Mayor Pete as running mate
This gives experience back in the WH and federal experience to Pete
So next time when Uncle Joe is gettin kinda old for office----Pete can slide over
Surely after 4 years Murrica would have gotten over a Gay public official
Might be a mistake to take shots for Trump at Mayor Pete
Pete served--Donny from Queens--not so much
With a pride day now everywhere---significant chunk of electorate to insult
Mayor Pete speaks 8 languages--Donny well----too easy
Yep. Not only a known entity, but moderate. Now is not the time for some Che Guevara-type BS. I wish about 16 of the candidates would just throw in the towel right now.
Not a fan of the Gabbard. Anyone who reads the Washington Free Beacon has got to be a nut. What's next opposition research from Alex Jones?
'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

Those time limits are ridiculous. No one can even give an answer.
Didn't you say there was no way Trump would win?
You know me and predictions.

Do we get repararations for watching? When mystic lady said she would base them on 40 acres and a mule, I turned it off.
Was that Miss Cleo? Call me now!

Democratic debate 2.0
tulsi is hawt.
Andrew Yang has some intriguing ideas about UBI.

Caught some snippets on the news this morning. I think you are right.

That's got to sting.
I'd have to say the loser last night was Kamala Harris. Both Biden and Tulsi dunked on her pretty hard.

Also thinkin--The dem candidates you got are the ones your gettin
Can't see a white knight entering now to try and be noticed in this too large a crowd already
Yep, Biden-Pete or Biden-Harris would be fine by me.
Or Pete as the nominee.
Ill vote for anyone over Dips h I t but obviously prefer someone who can actually win.
Think It's gotta be Biden as a known entity
Anyone else is a gamble to a gunshy electorate---who is still trying to deal with the current gamble
(Not saying gambles don't pay off---but when your on a shakey streak---your bets get more conservative)

Tulsi 2020.

I don't know??
If Uncle Joe continues to trip over his words---I may have to change ma pick
