Democratic Primary Debates

Smacc, I know your a TYT fan. If you’re reading, check out their post debate coverage. They got Ben Mankiewicz, who’s one of my absolute faves and he’s killing it.

Is he the guy on Turner Classic Movies?

Cliffs = Sanders was pretty good, Warren and Pete were fine, don’t think any of it mattered.

Zinger of the night goes to Liz for in the middle of Delaney doing his Reasonable Centrist routine breaking in with something like “I really don’t understand why you’d run for President just to talk about the things we can’t do”.

Winners and losers from Night 1 of the second Democratic debate

Winners:

Marianne Williamson : Williamson was widely savaged for her at times bizarre performance in the first debate. But on Tuesday night, she had some of the biggest applause lines of the entire debate, including perhaps the biggest one, on reparations. When asked about the water crisis in Flint, Mich. — just down the road from Detroit — she said, “What happened in Flint would not have happened in Grosse Pointe.” (Williamson has lived in Grosse Pointe, Mich., which is far less diverse than Flint.)

Bezos-owned WaPo hosts a post-debate article that says Bernie wasn’t a winner.

Lol Nate jfc

Here’s how you know this article is hot garbage. It lists John Delaney as a winner.

I don’t know if having Bullock as “good” is worse than having Delaney as “pretty good”, but this is this worst nate take I have ever seen.

I think it’s way worse. Delaney wasn’t that bad. He got sonned a couple times, but he was able to talk a bunch, he was combative, he communicated his ideas to an extent. A lot of the reaction here is because people don’t like him or his policies. Bullock was just awful. If people want folksy horseshit it’s done a lot better by Pete or even Beto.

I don’t have a subscription :pensive:

Chris Matthews bringing the sick gotchas in the post debate interviews. Lets Delaney and Hickenlooper trash Bernie for 5 minutes in each one, agreeing with everything they say. Last question is: But would you vote for Bernie if he’s the nominee? Both say ‘yes’.

After the Hickenlooper interview, Brian Williams intimated they should get a room and continue ‘talking it out’.

man the story of the guy with ALS that warren is elaborating on in the postgame interview is heartbreaking.
