    Judging from who was attacking whom and how often:
    Bernie thinks Bloomberg is his competition
    Bloomberg thinks Bernie is his competition
    Amy and Buttigreiggiegirieg are fighting eachother for a VP nom
    and none of them are concerned about Warren or Biden.

    I'm starting to think that Bloomberg is just a political disease engineered to undermine Bernie. He's not running the presidential race, he's running behind Bernie throwing sticks at his feet.

    Also, that was an impressively entertaining debate :)

    I'm still trying to track it down any reporting from inside the room, but I think it might have been immigrant advocates protesting his (Obama's) record on deportations with "We don't want you here?"

    Just a guess.

    It’s sort of how trump won. You people are the problem, and I’m an outsider who can fix it.

    Definitely a clown show, it's funny that the left really believes one of those people will beat Trump. They were tossing around trillions of dollars like its pocket change. What a sad showing and pathetic format...

    I believe they were actually protesting against Warren. That yelling sounded a lot like Romulan.

    Trump did brag about the size of his dick during a debate stage and accused a candidate of his father being in on the JFK assassination, right?

    Found a clip. Definitely confirmed my previous guess. They start by yelling "You deported 3 million people."

    It's a great political tactic for him though in this instance. Look at those around him. He has Warren who lectures to everyone as if she is a high school teacher and we are students who hate her class and she knows it. Sanders who just shouts and shouts and repeats the same 10 or so catch phrases. Biden who literally can't complete a full sentence without stumbling and closing his eyes to think. And Klobuchar who seriously sounds like a 14 year old teenage girl fussing at her dad because she has a curfew and none of her friends do. Bloomberg carried himself about as well as I figured someone would who isn't used to being in a debate like that.

    Optics are a big part of politics. If I knew nothing at all about any of these people and just watched this debate, or any debate, the only person up there who doesn't make me go "what the ****?" is Pete.

    He's smooth I'll give him that. You don't have to actually know what you're doing you just have to make it sound like you do lol.

    Pete is smooth but he never says anything. He has that technique of stating goals as plans. It's easy to state a goal, it's the plan an execution to get there that's that hard part.

    LOL

    righties trotting out old washed-up actors now...

    Pretty good debate :thumbsup: :democrat:

    Mike got gang-raped, but held his own in his first debate.

    Angry old socialist Sanders must be stopped or he takes the party over the cliff in Nov...

    I watched. My impressions ...

    Sanders - stuck to his message
    Biden - unimpressive, boring, represents the past
    Klobuchar - a nice lady, but not presidential
    Warren - preachy (as usual), and that hyper-intense shtick of hers, but she annihilated ....
    ... Bloomberg - wooden, flummoxed by the non-disclosure agreements, detached, cold
    Buttigieg - smooth talker, but lacking substance or experience

    Winner - I would say Sanders for sticking to his message.

    We'll see ...

    Yeah but it's not like any of his opponents have actual plans either. And he does a fairly good job at pointing out just how ridiculous everybody else's idea's are. His entire campaign strategy is to simply talk smooth and keep offense on everybody else and do a better job at it than them so that whenever they hit him back he can use his smooth demeanor to make it sound like he's hitting him back harder. Which is basically what he did to Warren months ago and what he did to Klobuchar tonight.

    I get all that and it's true but another thing using fancy words too much makes a person run the risk of coming off as arrogant and full of one's self. Also with him interjecting into everyone else's time he runs the risk of turning people off with a look at me attitude.

    I'm not so sure about that. Warren scored some pretty good shots against Shorty B with the non-disclosure points. That's gonna be hard to defend against.

    I don't see Buttigieg as smooth I see him as sleazy. I doubt even his best friend could trust him. He is the type who would agree with you and smile then stab you in the back as soon as you turn away.

    Maybe that's the difference between how women and men gauge people? Then again, maybe women don't agree with my assessment either. LOL

    The rest I totally agree with and I think Bloomberg handled himself well and the others (except Amy) couldn't hold back their resentment and jealousy of his wealth and that showed too. They ALL want his money and I bet they wouldn't share a penny of it with the masses.

    Watched Netflix, not the debate. No interest is seeing those fools duke it out. But from reading this it seems like it turned out as expected. Bloomer is the odd man out, nobody on stage thought he should be there and treated him as such.

    Still rooting for Sanders v Trump. I think other than Warren (I know that ain't gonna happen) Sanders would be the easiest for Trump to beat.
    I'm going 500+ times on the word socialist being used in the first Trump / Sanders debate.

    Not really just pay the media to take the gloves off with the other candidates too. Literally just watched a CBS clip where there were talking about Joe's exchange with Bloomberg over the NDAs and they brought up Bidens touching of people.

    I don't think so because I'm a guy and I think your spot on about Buttigige

    You steal the nomination from him I think your going off the cliff too. Why do you think the Sanders supporters are angry? Because the DNC did exactly that before and they know. What happens when Bernie gets shafted? At least 5% of those people stay home or vote 3rd party and there goes 2020
