Who Won Debate on 2-19-20?


Did Well:
Biden had a great night and did very well. Best debate so far.

Warren did well. Among her best.

Poorly:
I learned more about Sander's policies and I dislike him more. Workers running companies? That's what helped destroy companies in countries like Venezuela. Afraid to release his medical records so he lied about full disclosure. Afraid to give dollar figures about Medicare for All. Anti-rich people and company rhetoric - sorry, I like capitalism and money. Casual attitude re: ending jobs for workers in fracking. Voted against 2007 immigration bill.

Bloomberg very nervous and messed up a few answers. Attacks hurt him.

Mixed:
Klobucher spoke well most of the time. Mayor Pete hurt her though re:English only, her Senate votes and conservative judges votes.

Mayor Pete - Most of the time he was good. Speaks well. A few times he came off as a bully towards Klobuchar.

I think they all did very well, though if I had to rank them : Sanders in last place, Biden in first place. Biden really bounced back tonight. Sanders stumbled to the finish line.

Bloomberg held his own - this was his first debate, and no matter what they threw at him he remained calm, cool and composed . In other words, he looked presidential throughout, and that's a BIG part of winning a debate, as well. He was the 'adult' in the room, while the kids were bickering. I'd put him in second place, or tied for first.

Klobuchar still comes across as though she's thinking "My God, can you believe I made it this far?" She tries too hard to be likeable.

Mayor Pete came across as the least crazy of the bunch.
Klobucher is a genius. Don't call her stupid.
Bernardo Sanders. He seemed more wacky than usual.
Bloomybergy seemed short and rich.
Warren blathering on and on about some crazy shit. Who cares but she is fun to watch. She's a nut case.
Biden. Oh god, he should have stayed home.
Yang. Counting his pennies for his next run.
Tulsi is getting prepared for a possible independent run with HRC as running mate. LOL.
Harris is still screeching some gibberish. No one knows or cares.
The other billionaire, no one cares.
Corey Bookey. He's on the street corner yelling at cars claiming racism.
Trump at home eating Cheetos.
Bush, having fond memories of his greatest accomplishment of dodging a shoe. TWO SHOES.
Obama. still hasn't endorsed his besty, Biden. Hmmm. LOL
Bill Clinton has to listen to screeching night and day.
Jimmy Carter probably doesn't eat peanuts anymore. Sad.

Yes. Biden's best debate because he wasn't in the crosshairs anymore. When he was attacked, he got flustered.

Lizzy did the same other than attack Mikey. She's just glomming off of Bernie's medicare for all, but she can't explain it. Wealth tax? What a joke. How many times does she have to say, "Look"? Even if the moderators were blind, she'd still say, "Look".

Mikey did poor, but he did call Bernie a communist and implied his hypocrisy of owning 3 houses. Also, he pointed out when Bernie was bitching about tax code that he's a senator, so why didn't he change the tax code? He wins points there.

Amy lost big time. Petey got to her and she looked like she was on the verge of a meltdown. Even with Lizzy trying to save her, the moderator pointed out that she couldn't even name a Mexican policy. And she's on the trade committee?

Petey spoke well and seemed the most even keeled. He attacked Bernie and his hypocritical lack of transparency and his vague math of funding medicare for all.

Overall, the most entertaining debate.
