I was listening to Malcolm Gladwell's podcast (Revisionist History) and the latest season's started out with a discussion about things in life that reward quick, stress-induced, and complex thinking (like writing the LSATs), versus things in life that reward taking your time to establish complex thinking (like playing a game of traditional chess).
To me, this lightning round, 45 seconds to distill how you're going to solve climate change while 9 other people try to interrupt you kind of event - is a circus. I might have a little bit more gut feel about who seems authentic, maybe learn one or two unexpected positions, but overall you can't reach the depth you need with the time allotted. I wish one of the candidates would say "fuck this", and modernize with an ask me anything with a live stream on YouTube, or something like that. Why do we have to use the dinky few minutes per candidate that NBC allocates, when this thing called the internet permits easy broadcasting and open forums for discussions? We should stop relying on the traditional media as the main way to communicate when there's so much more to offer now.

Seems you're correct - glad to see someone stepping into the modern world. Hopefully the rest will follow suit.

Out of that huge pool of candidates, I think Jay Inslee would give the Dems their best best shot. But he probably won't last too long.

AMY FOR AMERICA!
She came off as the most sensible candidate last night. I wish she had more of a chance. And I wish about 5 of those guys were not even on the stage.
Why didn't they pick the top polling candidates in the polls to have them all go at each other? Wouldn't it have been more productive to have Biden, Pete, Kamela and Sanders on the same state as Warren, Booker, Beto, and Amy?

They drew the lineup for both nights at random....and you end up with this. Good part is the funding requirements doubles for the September debate so we should lose close to half the field......hopefully.
I like Klobuchar a little bit, somewhat pragmatic.
Really liked the format last night, too. The moderators held them to the question posed, or at least in the beginning it was this way. Also, I liked that they left some room for some back-and-forth.
If I'm ranking my personal preference it's: 1) Warren by a mile 2) Castro 3) Harris 4) Klobuchar 5) Yang 6) Buttigieg 7) Sanders 8) Inslee 9) Biden 10) Gillibrand That's more than enough ranking
pjhawks said: I didn't get a chance to watch last night but I saw Castro on Bill Maher about a month ago and came away very impressed with him.
Yeah, my thing is affordable housing, or housing in general, is real problem and his views and answers on these issues are refreshing and well thought out. I mean given he ran HUD and isn't the fucking dunce who's in there now.

Haha.
What the fuck is the US doing. Roleplaying a sci-fi dystopian thriller?
Save this middle-of-the-pack nation with some sweet-sweet humanity and common sense Sanders*.
*or Elizabeth
Warren: But we can also double down on the research, to find out what really works.
Eh... or just snapchat your colleges in Europe or Australia and ask...
The rest of the world exists.
"I'm one of you people! This is personal to me"
Wonder if that tactic works.

Beto and others: Yes.
Why not just answer - The UN and world community should in agreement, with the US as a participant in that.

But will be interesting to see him in forthcoming debates/interviews.
He premiered "Can't Wait" on this tour yesterday.
