    Warren just brought up Indian reservations in her final thoughts. Made me chuckle.

    Beto is a robot. Awful. A few other interesting moments. 

    Surprisingly Marianne Williamson is having a very strong night. Won’t matter for her, but really a nice performance.  The others are mostly throwaways.


    Marianne Williamson is absolutely killing the debate. Like you said, it won't matter, but I think it's great that she's saying what she is, and I hope some of it is resonating with people.
    Agree with you both about Williamson, but I don’t think the ‘average joe’ comprehends what she is saying.

    I have zero interest to watch the debates on tv. I ll check out the summaries in the news tomorrow.  
    Exactly, why make up my own mind and develop my own thoughts. I need it spoon fed to me.

    Bonnie and Clyde. Mulder and Scully. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. On Tuesday night it was Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders who, defying predictions that they would turn on each other, instead formed a leftwing tag team against the forces of moderation at the latest Democratic primary debate on Tuesday.

    Interesting to hear what the twitter crowd says, but I think Delaney made a pretty strong case for why Medicare for all is a bad idea as far as electability. I tend to agree that throwing 180 million(?) off their private healthcare might be a bad idea. Delaney has a plan for affordable “free” healthcare, just a different approach.

    Lol, no problem. It will be interesting when Warren is the nominee and tells Union members and blue collar folks across the rust belt they have to give up their healthcare they fought for. 
    OJ has almost a million followers, I wonder what he thinks about Medicare for all?

    I find this very concerning:
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/30/politics/who-won-democratic-debate/index.html

    Winners from last nights debate: *Donald Trump: An extended conversation about eliminating all private insurance. A top-tier candidate -- Warren -- fully embracing decriminalizing illegal immigration. All of that is music to the President's ears. Remember that his poll numbers -- job approval that has never broken 50%, etc. -- suggest that there is no positive message that wins Trump a second term. Which means he needs as much fodder as possible to cast Democrats as deeply out of touch and representative of a creeping socialism. He got plenty on Tuesday night.

    When the field gets down to around four people I will start watching the debates but I just can't stand watching 11 adults all talking over one another.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    They really should have done three debates with six candidates each. 11 people all at once is too many. You’d think they would have learned from the 2016 republican debates. 
    2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea. Hear. Now. 2022: Camden, 2024: Philly 2, 2025: Pittsburgh 1

    I like this line a lot:
    Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney said Democrats should “run on real solutions, not impossible promises.”
    cough cough Sanders   cough cough Warren

    Would have helped the candidates standing in the shadows outside of the spotlights a lot more. And might have given the zero-percentages folks that hasn't been media darlings a chance to actually be seen and become a name.

    Couldn't agree more with what he says at 2:10
