Democrat presidential debate official thread

Harris and Booker...it’s time to DNF. Neither can even get the black support. Booker has never succeeded and Harris comes off as an angry racist.

Mealy mouth Buttyplug rambles and rambles and never says anything useful. Plus he's so freaking annoying to listen to - I just turn the sound off when he's blubbering.

It’s the ‘Hate Trump Show’ again.

Warren doing ‘Medicare for all within 100 days.’

She’s living on Mars!!!

Butt I still have the hots for Tulsi.

If Pete wins Iowa that would great, the thing that he will have to deal with now is that he's moved up enough in the polls enough that he will be attacked by his fellow Dems.

Other than being openly gay, he is the perfect foil to DT.

DT is a loud mouthed idiot.

Pete is calm, measured and smart.

DT was born into his wealth.

Pete is self made.

DT got a deferment.

Pete served his country.

You can't hold it against Trump, that he was rejected by the Military, I am in the EXACT SAME boat as Trump, I was rejected because I had been in Mental Hospitals, Which the Psychiatrist said I WAS BORN With a Chemical Imbalance in the Brain, You Can NOT do anything if they reject you.

Think of the Captain America story when Steve Rogers kept getting rejected (He eventually got in by agreeing to be part of an experiment, it does not exist in reality) The fact that Trump TRIED to get in should be enough. When I see Rogers trying to get rejected and being VERY UPSET, that is how I was. And I am sure Trump was as well, It does not feel good to be rejected, but it worked out for him as he is now Commander and Chief.

Klobuchar totally avoided the question of whether she would hold Saudi Arabia responsible.

I think she would not.

Steyer said he knocked on 15 million doors in a particular year. I believe it was 2015. That 171 doors per hour for each 24 hour period. He reminded of the character from SNL, who keeps embellishing the number until, yeah 15 million doors, Thats the ticket!!!

Quid Pro Joe on domestic violence: ..."And so we have to just change the culture, period, and keep punching at it, and punching at it, and punching at it.” LOL!

Must be a Bernie Bro.

Biden was never a great U.S. Presidential candidate. Biden has been rattled by all the Hunter Biden talk. Biden has not been a great fund raiser this time (or his previous runs). Do not confuse time in military with tough guy. The media were saying Mueller was a tough guy. Mueller was tough on the little people. Mayor Butt ... is no tough guy. Mayor Butt ... wound be easily controlled by his billionaire handlers. Mayor Butt ... is like Manchurian Candidate.

If this is political satire, it's a little bit funny.

If not, it's truly sad.

Harris always seems to fade between debates and then shows well in the debates, to me.

Booker is one of my top choices and I have not made up my mind.

I don't know why is not polling well. He checks the boxes pretty well.

He's fairly moderate but shows a lot of compassion for the progressive ideals. He has charisma.

He speaks well to each issue.

He is just the right age. Has good experience at the local and national level, being a mayor and US senator.

If you look at the weakness of almost every candidate, Booker fairs better in that area.

Biden is too old. Not Booker.

Buttigieg is too young. Not Booker.

Bernie and Warren are too left. Not Booker.

Klobuchar is light on charisma. Not Booker.

Harris can be off putting. Not Booker.

And maybe he marries Rosario Dawson and makes her First Lady. That's cool.

Harris or Booker will be on the ticket, they're running for VP. There is no way the Dems have an all white ticket.

I've said it was going to be Biden/Harris because Joe can run around being "Good Ol Friendly Joe" and she can put on her prosecutor pants and play hardball/attack dog on the campaign trail, plus she's a black woman so anyone that tries to go back at her can be painted as a racist/sexist.

Sure, Biden could pair with Harris.

Or Warren could pair with Booker.

Either pairing gives a 70 something and a 50 something year-old, a white person and a person of color, a man and a woman.

Bernie wins again!

Joe Biden has never looked this good! Oh wait... that's Bernie Sanders!

You asked why Booker is not doing well in the polls. Why he hadn't connected with voters. Then you list all of his strengths. I can't speak for other voters but he has turned me off. And he again showed it last night when debating Warren and then Biden. This might seem harsh to you but he always seems smug, arrogant and phony. The smirk he had when Warren was speaking, doesn't serve him well. His implied laughter at other candidates is a turn off. There are many candidates that I don't like, but they all seem more sincere than Booker.

Actually, after hearing schiff's brilliant closing remarks today, pulling all the information together, even including stuff he just heard, challenging the ethics of Republicans, with his sensitivities to witnesses and doing this all in a cogent and engaging way, makes me wish he was running for president.

Can he be drafted? He is amazing. He rarely looked at his notes. No wonder the Republicans hate him. Nadler is no Schiff.

Agreed. If Biden gets the nomination he will have to choose a black female. And whoever he chooses could be president after Biden finishes his first term. Harris would pair up nicely with Biden despite her first debate attack on him.

+1

It is impressive the way he summarizes all of that testimony and presents it in a coherent manner while Nunes just recites his memorized speech without taking any information presented into account.
