Democratic Debate #2 - Night 2

Michael Bennett might be worse than HIckenlooper. 

He's lying about Medicare for All. 

Hey, Senator Harris is my friend too!

joe has had a couple moments of almost- brain fog. He got through them but it was almost very bad for him as an old guy.

So far Harris is dominating the debate.   President Harris is looking strong here.

I don't like Tapper's style in these debates. He just pushes bickering. Ugh.

Bennet might be worst of the 20. Williamson is a wacko but at least she’s likable

Still way better than Tusi and Bernie.

Totally disagree. She’s dominating because they are all attacking her. And she’s getting defensive, a little snobby and she isn’t explaining her plan well. If this ended right now, she’d be done. Let’s see if she can recover.

 She bragged about how an insurance lobbyist endorsed her healthcare plan.  The plan expands Medicare Advantage The company her endorser works for.  Repulsive.

Inslee intro.   Big, bold ambitious - clearly he watched the debates last night.  Key takeaways.  HIs glasses don't work on his face.
Kirsen Gillibrand - Talks about her grandmother and mother and her mother worked with gays when people said that was impossible.  Her eyes are blinking too much.  
Tulsi Gabbard.  Gives her foreign policy intro.  Donald Trump is not a patriot.  She's wearing peace white.  Fighting for all.

 Kirsten is blinking like she has eyelash extensions for the first time.

 Agree, she seems a bit rattled and flustered.

 Bernie would have blown this group out of the park.

Bennet is lying about Bernie's plan and sounding like Yogi bear.

This is why we shouldn’t have gotten as far as this debate with a field of 20. The top 10 should be interacting right now,so,we can see how they stack up against everyone.

 She appears to have a cold.   

I'd pick Bennett over DeBlasio.

Based on what? She seems condescending, flustered and defensive to me, not sick. Her mic didn’t work right at first but it was fine 1/3 of the way into her intro

 my thought a few minutes ago is that tonight is the B team. Buttigieg, Sanders and Warren would be dominating this crew. 

DeBlasio is doing a decent Bernie, and then Biden starts lying about Bernie's plan. 

Biden is LYING about deductibles.

 She sounded very nasally early on.  I didn't think it was her microphone.  

Looks like Bernie’s ex adviser Simone Sanders made sure Biden is on his game tonight.

President Harris continues to dominate here.

Biden is doing just fine. A few tongue twists but he knows his stuff and is being forceful. Kamala’s forceful is bordering on rude and disrespectful at this point.

ON to immigration. 

Bennett is snoozing his way through an answer.  

Back to Harris.  Attacks Trump administration instead of answering the question.

 Have to give her credit for recognizing that Bernie the Multi-Millionaire was a lost cause...better to spend her time with President Biden and the future.

Harris is done after tonight. She’s the only one significantly disrespecting the time limits too.

A Tulsi Gabbard sighting!   Tulsi speaks.  Tulsi checks her phone for new texts from Putin.  Tulsi reads the texts out loud.

 Not only that but Bernie has set the agenda. He won't win the nomination but he has won the argument. Everyone now believes that the Federal Government should guaranty that everyone hot so long ago as health coverage,

There was a time not so long ago when such an idea wold have been considered very radical.

 Hardly done.   At all.

wow I almost forgot Booker was on stage. Had no airtime for like forever.
