Agree. I don't like him but he is the only authentic sounding one in the bunch.

Yeah, you must have muted your TV when Biden was speaking.
The rest of it was like watching a Disney Fantasy Cartoon with little reality.

Why don't these people actually talk about the current Hot Economy or the outstanding USMC that's about to be passed ?

Politician Warren, Biden, Bernie have over 100 years of combined Govt experience.

Non Politician Trump has accomplished more in 3 years than these 3 have accomplished in their 100 years of experience.

I think they forgot to include the premiums?

I do think she lied about that. Like she lied about being fired and sending her kids to public school. She likes to play a victim.

Bernie said taxes would go up but you would save money under Medicare for all because you wouldn’t be paying premiums and out of pocket health care expenses. But Medicare has a 20 percent cost sharing.

I have to say that if I were going to vote for a progressive - I would vote for Bernie over her. I don't like those little lies about her kids going to public schools.

Those are the dumbest things to lie about.

Especially when Warren goes off on one of her stories. I can just picture Kate McKinnon doing her impression on SNL.

I think it's important to note that the big fight\talking point at this stage is electability.

Even Obama has weighed in that radically progressive proposals can end up losing you elections when you're out of touch with the electorate.

How many older voters, arguably a critical bloc that votes in legions, dislike Trump but would easily be scared to death by proposals to make major changes to medicare despite "promises" that they wouldn't be impacted?

With that said, I think that the progs are going to get slapped down pretty quickly in the primaries by moderate dems that do not want a repeat of 2020.

My 2 cents will see Buttgeig and Biden start to get more separation and they know that the progs will fall into line with "anybody but Trump" when the time comes.

However, we will get to see in the meantime even more gender\race attacks on front-runners, a truly skeevy political tool.

I vote for Buttigieg as winner. He's the only one who didn't step on a landmine last night. It was that bad. I really believe he saw the crazy last night and didn't want to be associated with any of it.

Being on a stage with two 80 year olds, one anarchist looking and the other barely lucid, along with a warring Pocahontas is no doubt something that he doesn't want noted at the start of his national political career. Looks like he got out of there fast.

Oh yeah and the rest.... Kolbuchur & Steyer. They are done.


(democrats should have invited Bloomberg)
