Some thoughts on tonights debate:

1.) Jorge Ramos is all about illegals, why was he invited? Also his English seriously needs improvement, it was hard to understand him.

2.) Joe Bidens closing statement was heartfelt. He did overcome a lot personally. And I totally got what he was trying to say about playing the radio or record player in the evening. Songs teach children words, he could have also said read to your children and buy them books.

3.) Julian Castro unfairly attacking Biden on his memory was a low blow especially when it was fact checked and Julian was the one misrepresenting what Biden said.

4.) Yang offering money seems like he wants to buy votes.

5. I like Bernie, but he looked and sounded exhausted.

6.) Elizabeth Warren has a couple good ideas, don't know a lot about her policies.

Everyone else didn't really stand out.

...
Really?
He wants to win by buying 10 votes? His math is good enough not to think that way.

Yang wants to gather additional information about how UBI works on a monthly basis.
He also wants to popularize UBI. And his candidature, since media have been very busy suppressing it. He did fine in the debate.

Re debate
Admit I watched only about half of it or so. From what I've seen:

Castro's pathetic attempt to make Joe look senile, ew. Ok, Joe is not on the top of his game, but that was lame and consistent with Castro brother's attempt to media lynch Trump supporters, which backfired and so will this.

Amy sounds very well prepared and competent. So does Liz.

Even Joe was not bad in the first half at least. I heard he fumbled his way through the second, will watch.

Kamala, surprisingly, sounded better than before. A little better and that refers to the part where she talked about her experience.

People say Booker is a good guy, but to me every word he says sounds fake and there is much grandstanding. Same goes for Beto. I don't know how this guy is for Texans but doesn't sound like somebody who is able to prioritize the issues.

Bernie needs to see his otorhinolaryngologist, yesterday. Buttigieg - I need to see the rest of the debate.

It was a low-blow and upsetting, but the fact that Biden didn't defend himself well and attack Castro back for clearly lying was equally disappointing. If he is the nominee that faces Trump, there will be all kinds of low blows and lies thrown his way. He needs to display the scrappy, Scranton demeanor/personality he once had. Sadly, I think at his age (no fault of his own), it is gone for good.

Kamala Harris, Castro, and DeBlasio have all wrongfully attacked Joe really hard on the debate stage, and unfortunately, he looked pretty weak. No real fight back or defense. There's only so much we can feel sorry for Biden and say it was unfair or low blows. Biden needs to defend himself out there.

“I stand with Barack Obama all eight years – good, bad, and indifferent,”.....Wow, even Obama's VP isn't impressed.

Default Did you see the Democratic Debate Last Nite Are There Any Normal Democrats Left

Main points:

Taking away Guns from the American people

Our new official language Spanish

Wide open borders

Elizabeth Warren: dodging middle class Tax(translation she’s raising your taxes up big!)

Eliminating private insurance

Buttigieg Basically calling half the country incorrigible racists

Karmas Harris low class comment making fun of presidents Trump man hood. And the unprofessional moderators all laughing about it especially little George.

IMHO...with these Bozos, Trump wins re election hands down.

I don't really like her, but I 100% agree with this comment. She won't get my vote in a primary, but would easily get it if running in a general against trump (as would anyone).

Didn't watch the debate last night.

No, but I'm sure I'll have to hear soundbites from it for days to come.

"Elizabeth Warren has a couple good ideas, don't know a lot about her policies."


Why NOT? She has been spouting them off since the LAST election.


And WE are called the uneducated!
