* Bigger government.
* Higher taxes.
* More regulation and govt control.
* More "free" stuff.
* No mention of how the "free" stuff will be paid for, except the occasional "soak the rich" chant.
* No mention of the National Debt or deficit for the duration of the "debate".
* Slash the military.
* Expand all social engineering programs and wealth-distribution schemes.
* Oh, and President Trump is a poopy-head.
Buttigieg moved up in the polls and because of that got a lot more air time tonight. He made the most of it for sure. It would not surprise me if he wins it all.
Surveys show overwhelming support for a stronger, not weaker public safety net. You are in the clear minority with your far right views on health care, college, retirement, social security etc. Handing everything over to Wall Street is not a good path forward for the working class.
we already have an extremely strong safety net ….over half the budget is to social safety net programs
I know in the debate Booker mentioned a $15 wage would be better. I respect his stance. However, I have to disagree a UBI limitis the reach of the Federal Government. Has a positive effect on businesses not a negative effect. Encourages growth.
a UBI is a nice pipedream...too bad yangs math is way off
Good debate--I thought everyone got plenty of time relative to their relevance. Even Tom Steyer's infomercial wasn't that bad. Gabbard has to go--she's very unpopular with Dems--something is just missing--like a personality and soul. Booker is cute, but should drop out. Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden, Bernie held their own. Warren started strong but weakened. Harris had some very outstanding moments., O'Rourke had some very inspirational moments. Yang is really really smart--I can see him being president in the future--he is too much of a visionary for right now.
Smart, sane people who brought up some very relevant issues.
Wow. Honestly I feel almost the exact opposite about most of your post ...

Who do you think will get the biggest bump from this? I think Klobuchar.
She’s got no chance. If she gets a bump, it will be on debate performance alone. No one will be calling her a rising star and doing features on her. No charisma.
President Biden is going to bring America back to greatness again.
