I didnt watch, but I bet the pandering to specific groups of races and lifestyles were hilarious. How much money did they promise these groups of people for their vote?

None promised to the eliteals.

I heard very few promises of free stuff, but I didn’t watch the whole thing.

I've liked her in the past but Tulsi seemed nervous. Regardless of how I feel about their policies, Beto and Warren and Castro and Delaney stood out to me as mostly well prepared for the Qs they faced.

maybe. i dunno. i think, as i stated previously, that she might understand the need for subtlety. but voters generally suck, and if she goes all donald trump attack mode, she'll be written off tout fucking suite

Have you seen Warren’s bitch mode?  She ain’t bringing that out until she’s on the debate stage with Trump.  She verbally castrates bank CEOs for fun.  Trump couldn’t handle her.

Beto sometimes looks like he's being yelled at by the principal

Neither of those really captures it. He was looking slightly down as the questions were asked. A little odd.

Thats not how it works dipshit.

She verbally eviserates him, he calls her Pocahontas.  She gets bright red, makes a more detailed argument.  He sputters a few sentence fragments punctuated with socialism and Pocahontas.

That’s damn funny.  The camera pan was literally from the curb in playbook.  

I like that Beto is the richest person up there and the least Hispanic.

Kind of agree.  It would be cool if it worked like Hugo pretends, but sadly dotard muttering a couple words gets it done vs her.

It might be a stretch for you, but consider going way back in your memory banks and assessing what it was like to elect a smart person as POTUS.  It was 2007.  Pretty recent.  Are you SURE Americans can't recognize the dipshit?

exactly

Liz: *rousing speech full of facts and pathos and reason and truth*

Trump: "Oh, look, the chief has issued a decree to her tribe. Loser." *pats open mouth with fingertips mocking a war cry*

*crowd goes fucking insane*

Obama was running against McCain and Romney, both decorum loyalists.

Trump: "Oh, look at this guy, fresh off a dinner of dog and wants to tell me how to make deals. I'm a dealmaker, believe me, and I was born here. I hate to say it folks, but he wasn't even born here."

Trump is gonna do this regardless of who he is "debating".  He doesn't have the intellectual wherewhithal to actually engage, so it will be all "Sleepy Joe" or "Communist Bernie", etc.  That's gonna play with his base, and there is nothing that can be done about that.

The important thing is to win over the disengaged voters.  I'll take my chances on the smart, experience, knowledgeable woman over . . . who, exactly?

The act that was on the stage tonight is exactly what got Trump elected.

 Tim Kaine: Me amo Tim Kaine, buenos noche. 

Its got nothing to do with racism or bigotry its about leftists treating most of America like fucking idiots.  On display here every minute since the 2016 election.

Nearly 47% of voters pulled the lever for Donald Trump.  They ARE fucking idiots.

And you are basing this on what exactly?

Warren is really fucking smart, and Trump is not at all. She'd destroy him, unfortunately much of our country is too dumb to recognize Trump being destroyed in a debate when it happens.

Warren was good and stayed strong but didn't have any big moments to propel her higher.  Her "I do" moment was poised for greatness, but wasted when she didn't actually say what her plan was.  Overall I thought she had the most presidential demeanor on stage.   Booker and Castro sounded good and improved their standing.   Beto looked clueless at a few points; I think he's done.   Klobuchar is done.   Gabbard is robotic and has no chance.   Delaney had some OK moments and some moments where he belonged in a GOP primary, he has no shot.   Tim Ryan and his forgotten *cough*white*cough* man should GTFO.  Inslee had some OK moments but I've already forgotten him.   DeBlasio is a clown, just no.

trump is gonna trump all over the stage, regardless of his opponent.

then get his clock cleaned at the ballot box.

that's what happens when you spend 3 years shitting yourself in the oval office and you're opposed by someone not named hillary clinton. 

Concise and to the point.

My hope is that someone as smart as Warren or Castro would be able clown the fuck out of Trump in a debate. If you hit him where it hurts ($$$) Trump will be put on tilt, have a total meltdown and turn into even more of a gibbering idiot than usual. Whoever the Dem candidate end up being needs to completely pants him on the national stage, and I don't think it would be that hard to do.

Are you drunk?  I'm basing it on exactly what you fucking said.  Maybe the bold and italics help.

if warren comes at him with a "i've made a living taking on corrupt companies going bankrupt who lie and cheat and steal and try to con their way into explaining that everything is going great, so yeah, i think i can handle deadbeat don on this one.  i'm all set."  then i think she can set that narrative and 60% of america will have their minds made up.

he'll turn around and call her pocahontas, and the 39% of people who were already voting for him will hoot and holler.  told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
