Democratic Debate: Night Two
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
Fear mongering alert!..."the greatest threat to the United States is Donald Trump" - Kamala Harris
1st Priority as President of the US and Biden says beat Donald Trump. Face meet palm
Biden trying to match color orange pigment of Trump’s skin. He means business.
Harris came at him with emotion and Joe didn't fight back with enough umpf with his facts on the situation. If the local government in California during the time Harris was going to school was causing challenges to bussing AFTER a federal ruling...well that's a local level issue. He's right with his facts but that'll get lost.
I shook hands (again) with B Stoops at a Clone tailgate in Ames early last season and almost died in the heat (like 98); had to seek shade at halftime. The normal mild summers here have de-conditioned me over the years...
That's a serious downgrade.
Hey Eric...a large majority of those black children being shot down in the streets are being killed by handguns. The guns you think should allow to be kept by your own words. Gosh if you're going to get guns off the street at least choose the right ones.
I know. I'm waiting on my monthly payment from President Yang to buy more Dallas Blonde. #YangGang2020
Yesssss go off Kamala. You've seen more autopsy photos of victims of gun violence than anyone on stage (while also prosecuting large amounts of non-violent drug offenders, mostly weed in your tenure).
I prefer tonight because in reality only Warren and Booker are going to be a factor in the Dem race. This one tonight has Biden, Sanders, Harris, and Mayor Pete with some more interesting characters like my boy Yang.
NATO will fall apart if trump re-elected.
Sounds like a Paul krugman prediction

Maddow and Todd are so terrible. Just awkward and rude like substitute teachers.
It's a pillar of his campaign. I'm actually joining his team and you'll see this plan rolled out before the next debate. #YANGGANG2020OMG! We get free beer?
Tried to watch it, 10 mins was all I could stomach. The only time I saw a sorrier lot was last night.
I'm not sure what I think of Biden's performance. Some good moments, some not so good moments. Will be interesting to see how it plays post-debate. Sanders didn't have a good night. He seemed over shadowed by Harris and Biden. The magic of 2016 just isn't there at this point.
And of course, Kamala Harris clearly is the winner tonight.
I would actually agree Harris was the strongest tonight but she still has some major major warts that haven't been addressed. This primary season is going to get juicy
He's full o shit.
3 to 1.
That's the handguns to rifle ratio in gun crimes.
Swallowell indeed.
Obviously you didn’t hear the “break up with Russia and make up with nato” zinger from swellwell
My thoughts:
Winner:
Kamala Harris - although I think her closing statement could have been much much stronger
Runner(s) Up:
Mayor Pete - had some hiccups though with the BLM question. I still believe that he's one of the most polished and the being a Gay Vet will be interesting moving forward in this primary season
Yang - because he's so different
Losers (margin still TBD):
Sanders - All sizzle, no actual information on implementation for his policies
Biden - they came at him at times tonight and he wasn't as strong in his emotion, not going to play well. He needs to come with the passion to back up his actions in the Senate and as VP.
Good Points but not enough coverage: Hickenlooper
In attendance to just say crazy things and make me jealous of his tie: Swalwell

Two thoughts as someone who works for campaigns. First, I hope they are getting the message that it is time to pivot off of a socialist message. Second, Butigieg's message tonight was very tight. He has some good people in his campaign helping him and I am willing to get a $100 bill that he will be top 5 in polling leading in to the primaries.
i did. But it felt forced to me. But if Yang gets traction, that right, left, forward slogan will play every bit as much as MAGA/KAGA.
