I think tonight could either be a snooze fest or crazy hype. I'm really interested to see how everyone handles the M4A & Reparations topics.. especially after seeing the response from last night

Harris' plan seems ripe for attacks imo and Booker/Harris both seem ready to target Biden. This is also gonna be a night where Gillebrand and Castro kinda HAVE to make a move, so I'd expect them to try and launch themselves into the mix. I'm also curious how Yang attempts to adjust from the snoozer last time out.

Elizabeth Warren will be puppy chow for Trump, I do not know why people can't see that

Why you think CNN keep trying to bury her?
Doing things based on what Trump is how we got here. Trump cult is baked in support no matter how badly he does.

So why not just pick the person who Dems will ignore Trump’s antics for instead of worrying about who will match up with him?

I disagree. People still want the change they voted for in 2008. Trump tapped into that sentiment and got enough votes to win an election he should've lost against the establishment's darling.

Status quo candidates will not energize the base. People are feeling the crunch and just going back to the way things were Pre-Trump ain't enough.

Trump’s populism isn’t the same thing Obama ran on. MAGA specifically want to go backwards. That Obama’s change wrecked things.

People will always want change and hope. But there’s also a reality angle. The world Obama inherited in 08 isn’t where we are in ‘19. Trump exposed a bunch of open wounds.

Cliffs from last night? Didn’t get to really watch, had it on in the background with my friend over :francis:
CNN set it up for a bunch of centrists/republicans posing as dems to attack bernie/warren, they held their own. it really backfired for CNN imo.

marianne was pretty bad on healthcare, but otherwise kept those career politicians in check.

buttigeg is clearly angling for a spot in ANYONES cabinet so he didn't really go hard, but had an ok night.

beto's confidence is shot, he's done for.

the rest all ran together in weird flyover state democratic mediocrity.

Also would like to add that other than warren/bernie/marianne everyone pretty much seems to wanna maintain status quo instead of actually improving this country

Jake Tapper is a Trump supporter. Cant tell me anything different. I remember he was tweeting about Assata and how she needs to be brought to justice.
Tim Ryan, Bullock and Delaney annoyed me mostly. I hope they go away next go around.
Warren was Warren. She's my top choice. I just hate when the topic of immigration comes up. Too much time is spent on it and its such a divisive conversation.
Bernie was sassy. I guess it was a good look. Kept him from looking like a crazy old yelling man on the stage to some people.
Marianne, she had some good points but she's a little nutty to me. I was reading some excerpts from her book after the last debate and she was talking about praying away aids and healing not coming from medicine. She said aids and cancers type diseases are in your mental or some shyt like that. Like they are connected with negative mindsets. She's anti vaxx right? I'll have to confirm that one but I saw an article on twitter that I did not read. I like her views on black issues but I need more than that from a candidate.
Beto- I forgot he was there. He needs to run for Senate in TX and should have never entered the Dem presidential race.
Amy-she looks scary. I dont know whats up with her but her personality is stale or something. I dont get her. She's forgetful.

Anyone I left out, I dont remember and they need to drop out.


Tonight, I'm excited to see Castro on stage with DeBlasio. Castro is my #2 pick followed by Harris. I wish Castro got more attention, he's a solid candidate and has the intellect to make Trump look like the fukking idiot he is if they get on the debate stage together.

She is a fukking conservative in a Democrat’s Halloween costume. I live in the area that she grew up in, is running her campaign in, it is DEEPLY conservative, and she is just playing a part, it will be interesting to see what she does with her “war chest” once she drops out in the next month or two.
