Cdog923 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Anyone watching tonight? Seems like most of the lightweights are on the stage tonight, with the main eventers (aside from Warren), coming up tomorrow. Link to comment
teachercd Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Delaney is the best on stage tonight by far. Beto is done, made a stupid move. NY Gov has done a great job standing up for what he believes and for his party. Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 This type of debate format just doesn't work with this many participants. I guess they have to start somewhere but I look forward to the field being cut by about 75%. Unfortunately, if our recent past is any indication, those who make it that far will just move further to the extremes and the choices will get worse instead of better. 1 Link to comment

That’s how trump ended up the nominee. He just stood there calling people childish names and nobody had the chance to talk issues. Link to comment

I think Biden will win the nomination for the same reason. Maybe 70% of the Democrat voters prefer anyone over Biden but they can't agree on #1 so a bunch of candidates win 10% of the vote and the 30% who prefer Biden win out. Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Warren was very firm on where she stands on healthcare tonight, which Im happy about. At the same time, shes been very wishy washy about it before tonight so Im not sure if I can trust her. 1 Link to comment

NY Gov has done a great job standing up for what he believes and for his party. I watched majority of the debate. I agree Beto did a poor job. I think Castro got the better of him a few times. I think Ryan is now done as well. His exchange with Gabbard about worldwide engagement ended his chances, IMO. He lost the crowd with his 9/11 comment and the Taliban. I thought the debate was a disservice to Delaney, I would have loved to hear his opinions and policies more, but he wasn't given enough time. Overall, I think the Warren and Booker held ground, Castro became more known, Gabbard showed she belongs and Beto and Ryan shot themselves in the foot. Delaney needed more time. I was a bit disappointed in Klobuchar and some of her answers and think she took a step back. I think Inslee is running to set himself up for a cabinet position but should be bowing out of the race shortly. He was fine, he just isn't presidential material. Let him spearhead the EPA and I think he will do an amazing job. As for De Blasio, I left feeling neutral about him. I agree, when given the chance, he did a good job of standing up for what he wants, I just felt blah about him. He didn't wow me, he didn't intrigue me, he just was there. For me, the winners of the night were Delaney and Castro with Warren and Booker doing enough to not hurt their respective campaigns. Losers were Beto and Ryan. Klobuchar took a step back and Gabbard took a step forward. Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Delaney lost me when he said hed work with Mitch McConnell. Nope, no deal. Fight that POS with every fiber of your being. 3 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Delaney? Whenever he was given 60 seconds, he managed to repeat himself three times. I'd hate to see what he'd do with more time. 2 Link to comment

I only saw the second hour and don’t know what I missed with the earlier questions, but I kind of feel the opposite. I thought Klobuchar did fairly well, but Gabbard didn’t seem ready for prime time. I didn’t really think anyone made a particular splash, but you can also tel there were a handful there who just don’t come across as heavy hitters or presidential material. Of what I saw, I think Warren, Booker, and Castro gave the best performances. Link to comment

And by working with him I mean the dems conceding everything to him in order to say they worked with the republicans. 1 Link to comment
