Gillibrand doing her damnedest to put out coherent policy messages. Delivery needs work.

Buttigieg lowers the boom on conservative Christians. Boom baby!

Yeah, the same way Phillip J. Fry's 20th century house "needs work."

Obviously a canned point he was trying to find a place to insert, but he found a good place to do it, and he landed it beautifully.

 

[UncleMark]

Aw c'mon, she's not THAT bad...

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Per 538: Biden, Harris, Sanders, Buttigieg winning the air time battle.

 

[Noodle]

Hickenlooper is there? Did he like just arrive on stage?

 

[iuwclurker]

Buttigieg, Harris, and Biden, for me, along with Warren yesterday. Of those, only Harris and Biden give me confidence they can beat Trump. Not certain Harris can. BIden, for now.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Hickenlooper is there? Did he like just arrive on stage?

Not getting his name called very much. Only Williamson has spoken less (per 538, again).

 

[UncleMark]

Hickenlooper is there? Did he like just arrive on stage?

Was wondering the same. He's been silent almost.

 

[Morrison]

I certainly can't be accused of bias, since I've been openly opposed to Harris for many reasons, but she's impressive tonight. She and Pete are the only ones scoring points. Biden is doing well simply by sitting on his throne and not f***ing up.

I have to stay out of this tonight. Just going to drink and enjoy the show and conversation on here. I’m biased. I’ve spent some time with Kamala and love her as a person. Stalwell is my Congressman.

There are some crazy mofos on stage tonight though

 

[UncleMark]

LOL Wiliamson raising her hand to get called on...

 

[iuwclurker]

Sheesh. Buttigieg nails another. He's freaking articulate and intelligent.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

This crew has ignored Pelosi and my advice and gone heavily on "trump bad".

who is the male moderator not named Lester?

Guy from Telimundo (name escapes me).

 

[UncleMark]

Pete: Because I couldn't get it done.

Wow. Talk about owning it.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Sheesh. Buttigieg nails another. He's freaking articulate and intelligent.

And another. Guy brought his A Game tonight.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Pete: Because I couldn't get it done.

Wow. Talk about owning it.

Dude is the real deal. No doubt about it.

 

[Noodle]

Guy from Telimundo (name escapes me).

Serously? He’s José Díaz-Balart. He is also the anchor of NBC News on Saturday nights.

 

[Noodle]

Psst...he’s Hispanic.

 

[Noodle]

Biden just owned Harris

 

[UncleMark]

Yeah, seriously. Had a brain lock.

 

[Marvin the Martian]

Dude is the real deal. No doubt about it.

I fear no answer could solve his problem though. He is going to struggle mightily with the black electorate.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Biden just owned Harris

I saw exactly the opposite.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

I fear no answer could solve his problem though. He is going to struggle mightily with the black electorate.

Probably true. Especially since the only other candidate gaining the type of traction from this debate he is happens to be the black woman.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Biden is on full tilt now.

 

[UncleMark]

Biden just owned Harris

Harris trying to score on Biden and he's still fending her off deftly. He may be old, but he's still pretty damn sharp.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

What are you guys watching? Dude lost his composure for the first time since...ever. Guy got slapped, and he knew it.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Guy from Telimundo (name escapes me).

He is awful. moderators by definition should ask questions about facts.

 

[Noodle]

Yes but he just reminded everyone that’s a really old fart

 

[Noodle]

And you’re an idiot. So I don’t think they’re focused on what you think.

 

[iuwclurker]

Harris scored some blows, Biden scored some back. They both won. Voters want to see candidates can score blows.

 

[Noodle]

I disagree

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Harris comes off as angry with fake emotion in her "impassioned pleas"

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Right after I called Gillibrand "plastic," she got her second wind. Much better hour for her, so far.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

I disagree

Which is your right, of course, but dude was literally yelling and stumbling over sentences.

 

[iuwclurker]

Biden is on full tilt now.

It's called dander up. (Is that what Purdue calls boiler up?)

 

[Courtsensetwo]

And you’re an idiot. So I don’t think they’re focused on what you think.

lol...troll.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Harris scored some blows, Biden scored some back. They both won. Voters want to see candidates can score blows.

That might be more accurate. Maybe they both won, just with different constituencies.

 

[UncleMark]

WTF Bernie? Rotating judges to the Supremes?
