Booker is having a good debate night despite Biden's attacks and a some hiccups here and there. I would be surprised if his polling doesn't go up after this.

Wow, Bennet just got destroyed by Castro on impeachment. He got destroyed so bad you could see him trying to process it in his brain, and he just utterly failed to process it, and completely forgot that he had disagreed with Castro just a minute earlier.



This debate was solid. Not as entertaining as yesterdays but still solid.

Winners: Inslee, Yang, Gabbard, and Booker.
Solid Showing: Gillibrand, Castro, and de Blasio.
Losers: Bennet, Biden, and Harris.

Inslee was the Hickenlooper for tonight. He showed that he can get the policies he's running on passed. His climate change answer was also pretty good. Yang's messaging was on point and had a good answer for everything. Gabbard destroyed Harris and has solid foreign policy positions. Bookers only blunder was on criminal justice but besides that he did very good.

Gillibrand, Castro, and de Blasio has good answers and good attacks but they didn't do enough. Also Gillibrand got rekt when Biden said that she is only going at him now cause she is running for potus.

Bennett got destroyed by Castro and Harris. He needs to drop. Biden kept getting destroyed on his shady record. Harris got ripped apart on healthcare and criminal justice. Also it was a bad look when Harris kept saying she is proud of her record as AG.



Joe Biden will still be running for president in 3030.

But like, for real though, was that bit on the end of his web address supposed to mean anything or is he just that bad at the internet? Did I miss something?

He has ran twice before so some url could have been taken. Also a lot of biden2020 and other biden 4 president sites are just sites attacking his record.



Yang definitely did way better this time. I'll wait for some data before I call it a comeback, it probably won't matter anyway since he probably won't launch to Bernie/Warren tier or anything and thus won't have a chance in the long run, but hey, I think Harris might fall down a tier after this. Hopefully Biden took some damage here, I think he did, but he wasn't as destroyed as last time. I know I always say I don't like Gabbard, but she is definitely sharpening her foreign policy argument, already a strength of hers, and damn, that closing statement was powerful, like, can we talk about that for a second? Way to drive the horrifying nature of the nuclear threat home, Gabbard, that was good. I think she'll be around for a while yet, might make it to Iowa. Bennet needs to drop out though, like, tonight.

But that's just...pathethic and sad...



Regarding last night's debate though, this happened:

I wish I could say I did it, that's fucking hysterical.



It's almost 5am, so my response may make no sense.

I couldn't help but to see Tracey Flick whenever Kristen Gillibrand spoke

I think my favourite of the night was Inslee, but he mostly did his own thing; "You know what, you assholes are talking about the stuff you want to do, believe that I'd do it because I've ACTUALLY ALREADY DONE IT IN MY STATE!" =D

I felt Castro and Booker came off strong in the discussions. I like people who sound very authentic and not rehearsed.

I like how Gabbard went after Harris, but I DO NOT agree with her leaving the countries the US fucked up without making sure the mess is cleaned up - I thought Booker had the best answer here. People in the US do not like to admit that their country is responsible for the actions of past Presidents, a simple change of leadership does not absolve responsibility for the disgusting amount of damage done. You should punish Bush for his wars, and punish those of his administration for these wars if you don't like what these wars did to your soldiers; but don't fuck over the countries you attacked by leaving them vulnerable.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
