Bill de Blasio did in my opinion a great job, and not by given speaking time, but by interjecting. As the moderators didn't stop that behaviour, I see at the next debate even more people speak over others time. But the main thing here is, he could that way choose the topics he wanted to talk about. And that he did great. He said that health care is not working as the companies do it. He said (very great in my opinion), that not the immigrants are guilty to your situation, the big companies are. He said the democratic party should stop acting as the party of elites, but as the party of the working people. Bill de Blasio took even over something Tulsi Gabbard should have interjected to (she got into the discussion a bit later as response to Ryan): the question to O'Rourke (of all people) if the US should intervene with human rights violations. That is excellent stuff.
I think Warren, Gabbard and Inslee were too tame. As people started to speak into others times, they were left behind mostly. Still apparently as Jason pointed out Gabbard got a boost out of it. Probably because most viewers didn't know her before and saw her for the first time. But she was too reluctant to go in (and Warren and Inslee too), for instance as Klobuchar interjected that we cannot stand by as Russians meddle in elections, Tulsi could've pointed out her legislation proposal to make elections more secure.
And Delaney tried also with speaking over others, but for him it looked mostly bad.
I don't speak spanish, but O'Rourke and Booker seemed a bit unsteady in their spanish responses. I think if you do speak spanish, you should be able to do it.
Someone who surprised me was Castro. I didn't have much an opinion of him, but he did well.
At some point as Tim Ryan was speaking I was thinking: right, he is also in this debate. He didn't left a big impression.
So, in my personal opinion, this is how it turned out.
Winner: Bill de Blasio surprised me and I think Julian Castro also did very well.
Loser: Tim Ryan (who is this), John Delaney and Beto O'Rourke
solid: Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker
mixed: Tulsi Gabbard disappointed me in being too tame, but had her moment in the back and forth with Tim Ryan.
