Not a Dem voter here, but I think Klobuchar stood out the most. Biden sounded and looked coherent 75% of the time which is a vast improvement from his previous performances.

According to the breitbart poll, who obviously knows how to pick winners, Yang dominated and there wasn’t even a close second. I’ve been saying for months that Yang is the only candidate you have that could possibly beat trump and may even win over some trump voters in the process. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party doesn’t listen and will end up running someone like Biden, giving trump an easy win.

At this point, you guys really need Hillary to run.

I just can’t get over the $1000 a month thing. For many people, that’s a drug stipend. And will buy a hell of a lot of drugs.

That's the way I took it.

I didn't think Joe himself was stuttering.


ETA: Joe basically confirmed it on twitter - that he was talking about a kid having a stuttering problem. I'm not sure it was a good tactic to mimic the poor kid anyway.

The sad part is this is not what people are seeing or don't want to see. People are collectively losing their minds over it.

I watched most of it tonight, and thought Klobuchar did really well.

Everyone else on the stage was adequate, but Buttigieg did seem to get a bit more rattled in this debate than I've seen him. But he did pretty well.

Biden was more focused, and Sanders seemed a bit kooky, as usual. Warren seems to have lost her moment and is slightly fading.

I wanted to hear what Bloomberg had to say. A shame he didn't qualify.

Yeah. Not only is it ridiculous, it's expensive. Someone's taxes are going up--and it's not the rich or the poor. LOL

Agree with you, just so disrespectful.

The debate was a disappointment all together. Too many idiotic questions. Some questions aren't relevant at all. Illegals getting paid? What about our homeless? Who are already U.S. citizens....Transgender murders? How about Chicago murders. Talk about that. Reparations for African American descendants? What?

I like Bernie but he went too far left. Yang is okay, but president? None if them seem to motivate the democrat base like Obama did. Not impressed.

I watched the entire debate and, as a Republican, I really enjoyed it. So happy to hear all the crazy ideas that we are NOT going to have to survive after Trump wins.

He comes off as one of the sane Dem candidates--he's less hostile and less belligerent. He doesn't read from that "impeach at any cost, anything but Trump no matter what" script that's become ridiculously tired.

The 1k per person is the turning point imo, but when I really think about it, he comes off pretty meek and doesn't exude "power"in his approach to the issues.

If we lived in a world where the world leaders were "nice guys", he'd fit right in. But I just can't see Yang being our chief foreign negotiator going up against the likes of the Taliban mullahs, The Ayatollah, KimJung Un, Xi Jinping etc etc...he just seems like a pushover.

The top 3 Candidates - Biden, Bernie and Warren were also the bottom 3 in the debate.

Bidens says stupid chit that he always regrets and must be explained later.
Bernie needs to go back to screaming at trees.
Warren is just unlikable. Hillary 2.0.

They all will destroy this great economy and want your paycheck.
