    My take and final choice after tonight's debate:

    Bloomberg:  Better this debate but still, Can't Buy Me Love.
    Warren:  Not looking very presidential these days.  Sorry, Liz.  Stay in congress where we need you!
    Bernie:  Takes the lead (for my vote) by a nose in the final round.  I really liked his answers to the misunderstanding/motto question.
    Biden:  Have great golden years, Joe, you deserve them.  But not as president.
    Pete:  Pete blew it for me with what I saw as arrogant posturing and ridiculous bating/misunderstanding over the Cuba thing.
    Klobuchar.  Amy, Amy, Amy.  I had hopes but a few too many stumbles for me.  Try again next time!
    Steyer:  A good try, but not my choice.

    Yeah I really disagree with that. Bernie has an awful night in my opinion. He still couldn’t answer anything, he had some weird senior moments where it didn’t seems clear why he was saying something. 

    Sure he yelled and waved his arms around a lot. But I thought it was a pretty bad performance under attack.

    but then again I would almost flip that entire thing around. I thought Warren wasn’t good. I thought Biden was endearing but not good. 

    I thought Amy, Pete and Bloomberg had the better debate. Perhaps I just don’t like people shaking and yelling and carrying on like a bunch of old cooks “get off my lawn”!

    Bloomberg should spend a hundred million this week on what a lying a hole Warren is with excerpts from the the debate 

    warren was a republican for at least 20 years, much longer than Bloomberg, and never ran a city that needed congress to receive federal support. That’s the system warren, you donate to get help from DC


    Edit, and polls like that spirit, are the same ones that told us Hilary was a better debater than trump. Let’s take a moment to celebrate President Hilary.

    Yeah this is basically how I saw it too. I actually thought Bloomberg came off the most presidential, but in a boring John Kerry/Mitt Romney sort of way. His cringeworthy attempts at jokes and planted supporters in the crowd notwithstanding. 

    Warren had that great one-liner to start the last debate and tried to kill Bloomberg again, and my god did it fall flat with me this time. I was sitting there thinking “Ok Liz, he said something mean to a pregnant woman many years ago. Move on already.” Character issues and mean, even harassing statements aren’t going to bring someone down in the age of a Trump.

    Your president is almost unintelligible in conversation, and like most cowards, doesn't put himself in situations where he has to confront dissent (especially not of the reasonable variety). If Trump does what his character suggests he will, he simply won't show up and will throw cheap punches from behind his Twitter account like he usually does, and you'll undoubtedly be right back here then to proudly declare the genius of your fearless leader.

    Thank you for always sharing your hubris so freely on here.

    Republicans... calling a young girl named Greta "ANTIFA" because they don't know what they are talking about and being fooled by anything being put up in front of them.

    So, I watched part of the debate with someone that is right leaning moderate.  Wants to vote Democrat.  When Warren went after bloomberg for helping re-elected Lindsey G and talked about how he supported Repub and Dem candidates alike.  They said "Isn't that a good thing? Don't you need to work with both?"

    They didn't last too long in the debate though, hating the shouting.  

    I actually felt bad for Biden at times as he seemed to be the one following the rules the most...he even brought it up.  He actually stopped talking when he was supposed to.  Man - that was a disappointing debate.  I realize I am not the target audience for the Dem primary, but I should be for the general election (or at least 1 of the target audiences).  Since Bernie has been rising I had been trying to "get there" and be prepared to vote for him vs Trump...damn does he make that tough.  I'm not there today.  I hope Amy or Pete are still viable in middle march.

    I think there's a difference between a Democrat working with a Republican already in office vs. giving a Republican a pile of money to help in his campaign to defeat a Democrat

    Not disagreeing with that.

    But in this context I guess it depends on who's time it was to talk.

    NYC needs it's fair share of funding from congress.

    Per capita, NY always gets the short end of the financial stick (like PJ concerts per capita)

    That's why he built relationships with both parties FFS warren.
