    It’s a battle to see how far left they can all get and then when the field narrows down they all claw their way back to the middle. Nothing anyone is saying is going to happen.

    Also Booker looks like a fool

    Winners today: Warren, Castro, De Blasio
    Losers: O’Rourke & Ryan

    Overall though, I can’t see this debate having too much of an impact polling wise.

    After learning that Yang wants to eliminate much of the social safety net I don’t like him as much. We need certain programs funded for struggling families to get back on their feet.

    Are you serious? $1,000/month isn't enough? Honestly, he's made it so you can choose to keep getting your welfare check or take the $1,000/month. You have to opt-in to the program to receive it.

    Probably Sanders. I think most are on board with ending the war on drugs, decriminalization of drugs, ending use of private prisons etc.

    Cease fire @Enigma I come in peace

    Sanders, Kamala and Pete should team up and take down front runner Biden. They gotta be tough. They can start by poking holes in his “progressive” rhetoric and call out his abysmal record

    Please god let Biden fall flat. I’ll take anyone but him. I will feel disgusting if I have to vote for him next year in the general

    This would be great. If Biden gets the nomination then Democrats deserve to lose.

    Race will eventually tighten up once candidates start dropping out. Will it be enough to surpass Biden? Idk. The core democratic base likes him a lot. Biden also has a tendency to s---t himself in the foot though. I can see him making a big gaf at some point down the line.

    Castro did well last night... so did Blasio ... I thought the best was Warren by a slight edge...

    BUT as a Latino... hearing Booker and Beto speaking in Spanish... was just a---! Clear pandering... don't do that s--- again!

    100% agree, bro!

    Castro surprised me. He did well. He mad an honest mistake with the trans female abortion remark, but I think he just got mixed up. It was an honest mistake.

    de Blasio has no chance at winning, but he comes off as strong. He governs as a center left Mayor and isn’t as progressive as he thinks. But I’d love to see him on stage with creepy Biden and verbally attack him. He wouldn’t be afraid to speak up and go after Creepy Joseph

    100% pandering. I cringed so hard. When Beto first did it look at Booker’s face :') he was shook that Beto spoke Spanish before he whipped his pandering out

    Bernie did well even with the gotcha questions.

    He did his usual thing and presented policy. But I’ll admit he didn’t do the best on stage. Bernie had the best closing statement though.

    I like how they went after Biden. Joe did terrible

    Kamala didn’t have to defend her record or donors at all though...she will have to be even more on her toes as the debates go on. She could be called out for taking Wall Street $...Bernie could say he doesn’t take Wall Street $

    Bernie has to keep doing this:

    It’s going to come down to Bernie, Warren, Harris and Pete

    I would have no issue voting for them over Trump. I would feel disgusting having to vote for Biden. But he will tank the more he opens his mouth and folks call him out. Believe me.
