Tonight is the night the magic begins.

America gets its first chance to see these people all standing next to each other.

Predictions? Dynamics to watch?

[Chrispy 132]

Oh god, I can’t wait. 

[Hornius Emeritus 12799]

I have no TV. Will it be webcast?

Of course. It might be an illicit stream, but it will be online somewhere.

[henrygandorf 29225]

booker is 4th, klobuchar is 7th.

Candidates highest in the polls (at the time of placement, which was the end of last week) are in the middle and they move out from there. If you are on the ends, you aren't doing too well.

yes, i know, i was just trying to paint a picture for those who did not see the graphic.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

If Howard Schultz has a running mate, my money is on John Delaney.

What a fucking joke of a candidate.

[Incredulity 11875]

Tulsi Gabbard

So Williamson is doing better than Yang? Thanks, this gives me hope.

No, Williamson will be on the far end, stage right. The order looking at the stage from left to right on night two is:

Marianne Williamson

John Hickenlooper

Andrew Yang

Pete Buttigieg

Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Bernie Sanders

Kamala Harris

Kirsten Gillibrand

Michael Bennet

Eric Swalwell

no, the graphics he posted are alphabetical.  the actual configuration is based on polling.

[henrygandorf 29225]

yeah, what he said.

[DaysOff 8201]

Well shit.

[bad_teammate 13508]

Marianne has been a professional grifter for a LONG time, so I think she's going to be able to capture an audience better than a lot of these nerds.

My favorite of the “troll” candidates

[bad_teammate 13508]

Yep, and she's STILL a better candidate than like 15 of these worthless scrubs. She's one of the few candidates with a recognizable holistic worldview.

[Fozzz 152]

 

Extremely powerful aloha energy.  

[TexArcher 39062]

They should've divided this into "have a chance" and "don't have a chance" panels.

 

[Guest Lobo]

You're much prettier.  And like a foot taller.  

Oh, he's a tomcat!  

[bad_teammate 13508]

Stop trying to steal my wife, Beto

 

[Fozzz 152]

So they are giving each of them like 5 minutes total?  Should be a total shitshow.  

[tantric superman 4668]

Is Tulsi showing some nip on the right bosom?

can't wait for Ned Beatty's shaved testicle, aka John Delaney, to fully utilize the time

Maybe Delaney can shave 1% of dumbfucks from Biden.   Otherwise he will be sandbagging progressives

[tantric superman 4668]

Why would Ned Beatty only shave one of his testicles?

So boys, if you can only have one last night of passionate, meaningless sex and you have to choose between the two, is it:

Tulsi Gabbard, or

Kirsten Gillibrand?

Pick 'em.

[bad_teammate 13508]

I think I'm going to go with Gillibrand, because if I said I'd vote for her she might let me do anything.

so you know which one to call sally.

Tulsi but I'd pretend she was Padma Lakshmi.

totally worth it for the inevitable moment where someone on the far end of the stage finally gets a chance to speak, and then absolutely biffs it.

Diane Feinstein and its not close.

 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Who got the worst draw in the debates? 

I’m tempted to say Biden being surrounded by the heavy hitters not named Elizabeth Warren.

Gillibrand would have been better positioned on night one.

I like you, Beto, but I don't want a new kind of politics right now.   I want a progressive to get shit done mercilessly using the old kind of politics, in a way no Dem has done since LBJ.  After we pack the Court and jam a bunch of major legislation through Congress, we can talk about rising above petty politics again.

I don't know, either, but if he somehow wins the primary, I will work my ass off to help him win the general.

How the fuck can this thing have FIVE moderators?

The total fucking failure of American Society is singularly represented in the fact this has five goddamn moderaters.

Not sure how that is even logistically possible.

clownshow.
