Kamala and Pete were exceptional, as expected. (I knew Pete would slay, but Kamala blew my mind with her performance.) I’m absolutely thrilled!
don't get to excited too soon. One, so called debate with 10 participants tells us almost nothing. I predict she will move up for the time being. As we get into winter and primaries she stands almost no chance. But those in Ca can bask in the glory for the next few months.
Biden won. He proved he is out of touch enough, restrained enough, and with a stain of a racially clueless past that will appeal to Trump voters to turn those midwestern states blue again.
no way will most of the midwest states turn to him over Trump. Maybe the far upstate midwest but don't **** count on the rest of the midwest. Not to mention he has to get the nomination.
I thought a couple of the candidates were really bad....but I would vote for any single one of them,if nominated over Trump. Trump is a rude, crude, childish narcissistic wanna be dictator who is embarrassing to our country, and completely inept and unfit for the position that he holds.
I think several of the candidates would make wonderful Presidents though.
I spent most of the time wishing somebody would put a gag on both Williamson and Swalwell.
It was almost like the moderators would relucantly ask Williamson a question hoping she'd sound like she lived on planet Earth, and then they'd think, "hmm let's give her 45 minutes to figure out where she's at," and then try again.
Biden came off as old, out of his depth, even doddering. There were times he seemed confused and couldn't get his words out. When Harris went into her spiel, Biden looked utterly broken. He won't make it through the race. He seems to be running out of a sense of duty - truthfully, I don't even think he wants to be there.........
If Biden can be rattled so badly by Harris in a venue where NBC was giving him every advantage (he got far more speaking time than anyone else there) then imagine what Trump will do to him out on the campaign trail.
The old guy physically and mentally is no longer able to run for this position. Some people don't age as well as others, and despite the excessive botox treatments, Biden doesn't look good at all as he moves into his 80s.
Clearly this debate was very very bad for Biden and the donor class types behind him have got to be very nervous this morning.
Man, Biden looks old. He actually looks worse than Bernie.
Bernie reminded me too much of Trump in the sense that he would never directly answer the question.
I think he answered fairly directly. His entire platform for the past 4 decades is that citizens need to be involved in their government, create movements, and have their voices heard over powerful interests.
Mayor Pete did well in the debate. But, for a candidate on 4/5th place I'm not sure "well" is going to help him move up. On net it was probably a bad night for him as the other contenders for 4/5th Kamala Harris is generally considered to have been the breakout star.
Generally agree about this. They'll stay around 4th and 5th in terms of ranking, but it wouldn't surprise me if more voters who previously backed those polling around 1% take a look at these two instead. So maybe they start polling in double digits and some others fall below 1%, or maybe they chip away a percent or two from Bernie but he remains 2nd or 3rd if Warren gains.

I think Biden ended up with more time to speak because other candidates kept referencing to him, so he kept getting opportunities to speak without a moderator asking him a direct question.
