    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?

    Winners:
    • Warren (of course I am, she put her message out there for those to hear it and she didn't waver. Didn't kill, but got her message across effectively)
    • Castro (Tentatively, I want this as the Prez/VP ticket - I am more and more impressed with him the more I hear from him)
    • deBlasio (hate to say it, but he got people fired up, even though to me it came off as fake outrage)

    Middling:
    • Klobuchar (for owning Inslee on abortion, that was sweet)
    Inless (meh, he was fine)

    Losers:
    • Tim Ryan (big time GTFO, random white dude)
    • John DeLaney (Also GTFO other white dude)
    • Big time Beto (thank god)
    • Gabbard
    • Booker (I guess people liked him more than I did, but I loved this "oh shit you just robbed my Spanish routine":)


    If there was a rule to cut out at least 4-5 of the 10 from last night right now I'm cutting:
    Ryan 
    Delaney
    Beto
    Gabbard

    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.

    Castro seems like a great dude. But I see a risk with him Marcio Rubio himself if he gets into a debate with Trump. 

    But will be interesting to see him in forthcoming debates/interviews.

    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

    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.

    Klobuchar's energy reminds me of Rosa Klebb

    Was the debate a group of circular firing squad of dumbasses last night? Didn't watch but I've heard good things.

    No. More a straight line of blandness.

    GTFO white dude? Are you mental? Nice fucking message. Racism and sexism cuts all ways.

    Oh come one. Bollocks. Saying there have been enough white dudes in the American government is in no way sexism or racism.

    It could be seen as it, if you do not know what racism and sexism are.

    Yes, please explain All Lives Matter to me while we're at it. There are plenty of candidates qualified up there that are not this, so all things equal I'll take any of them over the vanilla up there. Talk about triggered, christ. Also, please tell me more about white man grievance while we're at it - to me, a white man - that's who we need to hear from right now in this world.

    Excited for Bernie and Biden getting at it tonight. Bernie will attack Bidens past and Biden will try to not scream out "YOU COMMIE SCUM".
