It’s hard to maintain your bedroom eyes when you’re on the fourth syllable of your lover’s name.
Like an Irish folk tale. “And then they all died.”
Damn, I loved Mayor Pete’s closing. He even managed to extend a hand to Republicans (hoping they would “reunite with their conscience”).
Bernie Sanders killed it. Easily the biggest winners are Warren and Sanders.
A little whiter than it should’ve been, but all in all, a good policy-driven debate. I would’ve liked to have seen Booker in this one, but the candidates tomorrow should look to tonight as an example. Don’t focus too much on the past, but look to what can and should be done going forward.
Sanders was powerful in the segments I saw. Warren flopped. Buttigieg was bearable, but chill with the climate stuff. Delaney shot some holes into central-planning-for-all. The rest were cringe-city.
Some positive antiwar moments, but very generic and platitudinous. Didn’t realize Hickenlooper was so bad. Kind of disappointing.
WF, Beto was “cringe city”? Pfffft. :rolleyes:
From a policy standpoint he was decent from what I saw (I didn’t see some of the middle segments), he was sound on the war question which I liked. He is just a really bad speaker and didn’t seem to have much support in the audience. Overly rehearsed imo, though I haven’t seen him enough to know if he can go off the cuff effectively.
I saw the second coming of Bobby Kennedy! “Bad speaker”? Wow. 
I thought both Beto and Amy were a bit…robotic.
For me, I went into this hoping for a solid night from Bullock. I got that. My rankings of tonight’s debate, based on who my union uncle and union cousin from metro Detroit might vote for (both of whom voted for Obama, one voted for Trump, the other sat out 2016):
- Bullock
- Ryan
- Beto
- Mayor Pete
Everyone else…
Of those, I honestly don’t see any of them winning the nomination, even though Bullock is someone I may be donating to in the next few days.
Onward to tomorrow!
Is there any way to watch this debate? I just looked all over and can not find it. Anywhere. Does anyone have a link to the entire debate tonight?
Looks like CNN is rebroadcasting it in its entirety beginning at 11:00 p.m. PST, if that helps.
Thanks. That’s something anyway. It just seemed odd to me that I couldn’t just stream it after the fact. Did NBC/MSNBC also embargo the re-airing of their debate until later?
I don’t know. My limited rural internet bandwidth prevents me from streaming.
Those were not preemptive.
And why is Warren getting extra screen time? Can the rest of the field object, or is this just CNN trying to influence/ anoint?
Either way, she is much lower on my list now. UBC means I can only gift a family member with a firearm if I go to a FFL and pay them for the privilege. If there is not at least an exception for people one knoes, I will not vote for a candidate who wants to take away my rights.
Yes, I know the response this is likely to get; no, I’m not trolling.
I’m pretty sure many/most Dopers now dislike/hate Bernie and/or Warren, but I would say they, collectively won the night. Or perhaps it’s just because those are my dogs in the fight.
There were some goddamn stupid questions. Likinging Bernie Sanders to Trump who said he was against being ‘the world police’.
Reading the articles, yes Bernie did good.
Warren had a great line, but… reparations?
and how many were in favor of decriminalizing aliens?
Two things that annoy the shit out of me: when they talk about their upbringing and childhood and parents, and when they do that “I know this guy named Bob in Wisconsin” thing. Both of them I view as lame ass heart-string-tugging attempts that make them seem more fake instead of more real. Just tell me what you’re going to do. Warren was particularly annoying with it this time but almost all candidates do it to a degree. Just stop.
