Democratic Debate #2 - Night 2

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.

"just fine" is OK tonight. Last night "just fine" would have been a fail.  Joe is lucky that Warren wasn't in his draw.

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

 Hardly done.   At all.

We’ll see. She is being evasive, unclear about her medical plan and she is behaving in a disrespectful, defensive, almost obnoxious way.

Agreed but he’s doing well,enough to earn a place at the final table. He’s going to increase his lead a bit with this performance. So far, everyone else tonight is going to slip especially Harris.

Inslee looks a bit like scott Pruitt. Unfortunately for Inslee.

Governor Inslee talks about taking in Syrian refugees.   Tulsi's phone goes nuts with texts from her pal Assad.

Booker is probably about equal to where he was before also (not that that is a great thing)

There is a group posting on twitter drinking every time they hear the word "cages."  They are sh**faced.

He got both a significantly different haircut AND glasses. Is he trying to pretend he’s a different candidate?

None of them is shining. 

Hmmm, Biden / Gabbard

Has anyone ever seen Governor Inslee and Clark Kent together at the same time?   

DeBlasio and Tulsi are hitting on Biden.  Why did you not say something to Obama about his deportations.  Oh, Booker is now dumping on Biden.  They are all going for the Kamala bounce award.

Biden is trying to defend himself, but he also trying to remember the question. 

Gillibrand answers a question of her choice.

Booker said "shithole"

Booker was good calling out Biden for PhD line. I knew when I heard it that was bad.

So far Harris and Biden are winning this mess.

Everyone else stinks.

Nah.  The best choice this year is to pick the top 2 favorites of voters. Add them together. 

Booker’s turn to attack Biden.

Harris underperforming vs. first debate.

 Biden marginally better vs first debate which is ok for tonight but won’t be good enough going forward.

I wish they would go after that clown in the White House than go after each other. Faux News is probably having a field day. SMH!

 That is because they are fighting with each other and getting the most screen time.

OH, they are so low energy.  I thought this was going to be the more exciting debate but it's kind of  snoozer.  Biden lying about M4A and Harris and Biden fighting about their crappy healthcare plans and everyone basically agreeing on immigration.

Biden is awful tonight. Not speaking clearly to his points. Trailing off. Unable to put his thoughts together.  

Criminal justice.  Biden arguing with Booker.  Booker talks about treating addiction as a crime rather than a health care crisis.  Attacking Biden on the crime bill like Kamala did on bussing.  

Fact: every one of these clowns is lucky that Jacob deGrom is not asking the questions.   He would give them the ice cold death scare if they didn't answer him.

Booker is attacking Biden, but I do not think Booker is helping himself 

Who's Jacob deGrom? 

everyone is trying to take Biden down and are failing.

 he was repeatedly dunking on Biden. If it was a prize fight it would have been stopped

No, but that is the way you attack and respond to an attack. Dignified, respectful and passionate (Are you watching, Kamala?)

I was dozing and Harris woke me up with a re-do of her bussing points. 

Everyone met with with Eric Garner's mother.  His daughter endorsed Bernie.  

It'a  a big attack on Biden and he's going to goooooooooooooo after Kamala.

But, it's not much of a story and there soooooooooo much to pick from.
