  2. Yes he did, but the Bernie Bros and Warren Crowd are being so viscious to anyone who supports anyone else, that they are turning off groups of voters.  This is what happened in 2016 and the nerve endings are still very raw.

     

  5. Biden, Warren, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Buttiegeg, O’Rourke

    That’s enough to fight it out 

    We can do without Sanders, Gabbard, Yang, Steyer, 

  7. If there were no questions, pauses or commercials each candidate would get 15 minutes to explain themselves. So Andy leads with the top 3. If I were in the wings I might take a nap. 

  21. Biden really should have met with POGO before answering this question.   His defense is too whiney and not enough attack at the false charges.

    How did Sanders get climate change out of that.

     

  36. The one thing Yang is good for even with no one is listening is that there will not only be no new jobs but there are going to be even fewer jobs in the future.  Too many human beings and AI replacing virtually every lower and middle class position that doesn’t require hands on performance.

     

  38. Craig,

    Like I said the real group to campaign are:  Biden, Warren, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Buttiegeg, and O’Rourke.

    Right now if I was whittleing down those even more,  I would even dump Biden, Buttiegeg and O’Rourke.

     

  39. I do not like the fact that this is become a Liz versus other candidate then Liz responds then other candidate respond I don’t like this at all

  46. What the Klobuchar team is putting out:

    Logic is what is needed for the country. Logic inspired by big dreams and taking practical steps to get there. Sentimentalizing issues devalues Americans’ intellects and does nothing but pander cheaply.

     

  48. This is almost funny. These other candidates are just teeing up Warren to deliver her stump speech every time they go after her. She’s disciplined about that, doesn’t take the bait.

  57. Jamie – This “Bernie Bros” crowd to which you refer is mostly  just a bunch of trolls, possibly Russian.  Real Bernie backers will be on board if Warren is the nom.
    Not on Team Kamala but “Dude Gotta Go,” is a great, anti-Drumpf slogan.
    Joe is not much of a debater tonight.  He isn’t even speaking clearly.

    I think everyone with a brain will be voting for whoever is the candidate.  Now that I know for sure it won’t be Bernie, virtually anyone else down to a dead snail is electable over Trump.  Right now my preference has settled on Harris, Klobuchar, or Booker, but I will take what I can get.

     

     

  60. Would Yang’s VAT work to fund healthcare?  I like the thought of Suckerberg, Bezos, etc., pitching in.    

    What Yang doesn’t understand is that we don’t want shop in stores anymore. It’s increasingly dangerous.

    Birth control should be free and absolutely everywhere. Too many people, jobs going to AI.

  62. On delay.
    Tulsi also speaks the truth!!  She is one of the few that those that are not on the left would support

  65. I’m double teaming the debate here and on twitter.  This one was an ouch

    Pete just punched Beto right in his glass jaw. “I don’t need a lesson in courage from you”

  66. More of the voices:

    Gabbard is lying. US troops in Northern Syria weren’t there for a “regime change war.” They were there to deter Turkish aggression against Kurdish allies until there was a safe zone created. Her dishonesty here is gross.

  70. I’m actually listening on NPR.    
    Why not require gun owners to buy insurance?   Who would underwrite it?  Why not get the NRA to cough up their blood money?   Put a huge tax on ammo.    

  71. Craig,
    You are correct,  This is not worth my sleep time……..  Such lack of depth…  So part of the coordinated effort with the 4th estate… Oh My  
    I need more Red Wine……  
    Hope all are well……

  72. It’s probably me, but I’m drifting. All this is important but it’s too many issues and too many people on stage. Get me to the primaries. Talk to me after Super Tuesday. 

  74. Advantage of West Coast even with wine consumption.

    BID – Gun use training and insurance is decidedly necessary.  If you drive a car you need to pass a drivers test and be insured for liability.  

     

  76. Ha!  Bing does suck.  It’s the answer you give to bing when you type in google and it asks why not search from here.  Ha!
     

  84. And if you only have a public option, employers won’t help with insurance and we will end up with healthcare like Obamacare which is a joke.  Try to find a doc who’ll take it. 

  85. We won’t be able to keep our private healthcare because employers will dump us into the public option.  

  87. Blue, what part of option don’t you understand?  If employers won’t continue to provide their side of healthcare insurance it’s not the fault of government providing an option to individuals. 

  88. Blue

    Look up above where the various Universal Healthcare plans aroound the world  are described.  Everyone needs to be in the pool.  Even my current Medicare has a whole chain of physicians and three hospitals under “Multi Care” in WA.   I am in with Multicase, but my daughter has aligned with Kaiser, but she has the same covered hospitals. You unfortunately are in Texas.  It is a state problem not an ACA one.
