My thoughts…
Buttigieg – He expresses himself well but everything about him seems so contrived. Why does he seem so disingenuous to me? He seems like someone who talks over people. I can see how some people might view him as the winner of this debate. I didn’t.
Biden – I wonder if he can respond to a question without saying “Look” and pointing his finger at people. I really hate that. Every response he gave was horrible plus he was patronizing to Warren.
Warren – How she shaded Biden after the patronizing was great ??! Problem with her is that she is vague. She isn’t a straight-shooter when responding to questions and when she’s taken by surprise she gets flustered and grabs her notes. I can’t see how anyone would think she won this debate.
Booker – I’ve either gotten used to his theatrics or he’s toned them down a bit. He made some good points but my takeaways are that he lives in an area with gun violence and he’s a vegan.
Beto – He had to remind us that he can speak Spanish. He couldn’t answer the simple gun question. I think he’s hurting his chances of running for Senate in Texas.
Steyer – It was his first time hitting the stage. He didn’t do badly but I hate the fact that he essentially bought his way onto the stage.
Tulsi – She tripped up Warren as expected. Her interaction with Buttigieg was interesting too. But Buttigieg expresses himself more convincingly even when he might be wrong.
Yang – His best debate performance to date. The post-debate interviews allowed him to get a little more in for people who aren’t familiar with his platform, but I loved how at the end he invited everyone to his website on Friday where he will be answering questions from all tuned-in Americans for 10 straight hours. Brilliant. #AskYang #AskYangAnything #AskAndrew
Bernie – I can’t say I’m a fan of his but I feel like he won the debate. What a way to come back after having a heart attack and the death of his daughter-in-law these past two weeks!
Harris – Lost. It was a huge waste of time when she started pressing Warren on booting Trump off Twitter.
Klobuchar – She was able to get a lot of talking time.
Castro – I think this was his weakest performance to date. I’m glad he stopped attacking people based on their age.
1. Sanders
2. Yang
3. Buttigieg
Do you agree?

The attacks on Warren all night from every direction were a bit much. And I agree about Sanders… for him to have had a heart attack a few weeks ago he did amazing. I’m not sure if that will help him rebound in the polls, but it was impressive.
Buttigieg and Tulsi did best… Warren and Sanders were tied but weak in how they will pay for Medicare for all.
Biden was the worst because I expected more from him… he looked lost and incoherent.
The rest should just go home.
Overall, it was a weak debate, and the questions being asked of them were never answered fully.
