I hope no one is drinking every time Biden says Obama.

Again, this whole thing is a farce. Booker just destroyed Biden, and the crowd groaned instead of cheering.

Gillibrand is the FIRST candidate who has been able to break through the right-wing framing of “open borders” by explicitly saying crossing the border should be a civil infraction.  No one had been able to articulate this in the debate last night.

CNN is pulling for Biden.  They’re attacking Harris, though Bennet, so Biden can just sit there.

They’re all ganging up on Harris. I wonder why ...

This is already a farce, again. Biden and Gabbard (and even Yang) have the most support in the crowd, and they moderators are back to using right-wing framing around healthcare.

CNN opened up on Harris to start.

I will be glad after tonight so the Yang Gang can be buried forgood.

Did Biden just ask Harris to take it easy on him?

The candidates know what CNN is bringing to the table. I’m hoping at least one shut down the moderators with mention of their ugly right wing talking points.  We’ll see how it starts, on how hard they’ll go after each other.  Their isn’t as many moderates this time around for them to bounce off of. 

John Delaney just said that Detroit is experiencing a comeback. Really?

He electrifies the crowd when he says ‘damn’ like a curmudgeon. See also: “I don’t care about your damn e-mails.”

Has anyone else ever said “forty acres and a mule” on a nationally broadcast presidential debate before?

I forsee a Marianne Williamson bump in the Black Power Rankings.

Don Lemon’s “Senator please,” stopping Bullocks meaningless rambling is the biggest laugh I got tonight. 

I think it was Bullock who was telling Bernie he “didn’t know” what was in the Medicare-for-All bill, and Bernie snapped back “I wrote the damn bill.”

Did Bullock just reference Paul Ryan.

Part of why Trump is so bold with his lies is because he’s so rarely challenged on them, particularly by other white men.

The most annoying thing is that the press can’t/won’t say “quit lying”. Hell, even a “that’s not remotely true” would be hard push back against Trump. These are the kinda lies that get brown and black kids smacked upside the head.
