Scscsc89 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I was on a plane tonight, but based on Twitter reaction, it sounds like the top 4 were: Booker Castro Klobuchar Warren ... and that Beto, Ryan and DeBlasio were particularly off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Beto lost. Tulsi made Ryan look like an uninformed Warmonger. Warren and Castro had a few moments and looked the most competent. Need to get these down to 5 or less quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Castro made himself a viable VP candidate last night. I appreciated certain comments from the minor candidates, I mean I appreciate Inslee's commitment to making climate change the #1 issue of the election, but the reality of the situation is Warren was steady and Booker got a lot of talking points in and nothing else *really* matters. 20 candidates over 2 nights is absurd, even for a debate 17 months before the election (oh god). There were two people on that stage who could be President, and there will be maybe three tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Castro definitely made the most headway from where he was (which was damned near Delayney-ville). O'Rourke looked about as unprepared for primetime as any candidate could be. Inslee was a crowd-pleaser and made a decent case for EPA head. Warren looked like a professional among amateurs. Gabbard fared well, but I'm still not sure if she was/is in the military. Can you guys check that for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Beto looked like me in high school trying to give a book report in front of the class for a book I had not read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 From reading everything it seems to me that Beto didn't make a good first impression...will that kill his chances at the White House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Insomuch that he ever had a chance. Most of these people know they have no legitimate shot and aren't out to actually win. Beto falls into that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr, more likely they're gunning for a CNN gig or a book. A precious few might end up in the Cabinet. 2024 will be Warren's re-election opportunity.

glduck Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Harris and Mayor Pete ran circles around the other eight. Bernie was mostly fine, but those two owned the stage, Harris especially. Biden took my example of Beto bullshitting through a book report and gave it a good ol’ Hold My Beer. That was embarrassing. It won’t happen overnight but Kamala is going to take over as the moderate candidate of choice, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Didn't see the debate, glad Harris did well as she is my choice going into this. She is not the ideologue that Warren is, but I think she has the toughness that will be needed to stand toe to toe with Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysfit Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ohmygawd I want to see Harris slice off trump's little balls with that laser focused prosecutorial style and then stuff them down his throat so he chokes on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
