less trustworthy than trump?

 

No. Just for primaries. If she makes general i will vote for her.

I’m guessing a lot of voters wouldn’t like hearing it but I think it would be refreshing to occasionally hear a candidate respond to a question that they would need to become more informed before coming up with a plan, then state what their thoughts are on the topic at the moment. Instead of just bulls#!tting.

Here's an even easier one. A candidate attacks you for a previous position you held or bill you signed or whatever. You say, "You're right, I was wrong and I shouldn't have done it. I know better now."

No kidding!  That and NEVER starting their answer with "First let me talk about ___________" No...talk about the question that was asked.

Swalwell was a bit of a jackass.

 

Swalwell is a bit of a jackass. When Jon Stewart showed up at Congress to talk about the 9/11 First Responders Bill, Swalwell was nowhere to be seen.

They're all so far gone and full of sh#t you couldn't make a decent human being by combining the best elements of all of them. They were all asked a simple and straightforward question, "if you could only address one issue in your first term, what would it be?" and they were requested to respond with a short one or two word answer. The only one that even came close to what was asked and kept it short was Buttegeig. He responded "fix our democracy". The rest of them babbled on and on, most of them not even giving an answer, towards the end they were just shouting out as many issues as they could think of. I don't know about everyone else but it means something to me that they A) answer the question they are asked and B) can follow directions. The planet would be better off without any politicians imo.

They answer questions like a pissed off 12 year old that is getting yelled at/questioned by their parents.

I love that Biden said he'd defeat Trump. I don't think he knows how elections work. 

[Ratt Mhule]

Im 30 min into this thing so far and Bernie and Warren have already ragdolled Delaney and Bernie ragdolled Jake Tapper lol. 

[Ratt Mhule]

And now he ragdolled Tim Ryan lmao. Bernie coming out on fire tonight. How many times does Tim Ryan have to be embarrassed before he throws in the towel?

[Ratt Mhule]

 

[Moiraine]

I feel like Warren would be a really good president. It shouldn't matter that she's not the most personable person in the world. You don't have to be that to do the actual job.

[Ratt Mhule]

Moments of the night:

 

Bernie and Warren tag teaming all night against these loser corporatists polling at 0%. 

 

“I do know, I wrote the damn bill!”

 

Elizabeth Warren asking Delaney as he looks like hes about to cry why hes wasting his time running for president if all hes gonna do is say we cant to everything. Dont know the exact quote but that was great. 

 

Williamson talking about how canceling student debt would greatly stimulate the economy. Not only is she 100% correct but she follows that up with saying shes been listening to all these people on stage and cant understand how they are even democrats. Boom!

 

Honorable mention:

 

Bernie calling out Jake Tapper lol

[Landlord]

Anyone have a good link to a recap with video? I missed it.

[Ulty]

The Johnny-come-lately douche from Montana was a waste of space on stage. Can’t wait for the next debates when some of these tagalongs finally get weeded out.
