Warren and Klobuchar are doing really well, too. Bernie did his same old routine.

I couldn't help but think Warren and Sanders together would be a powerhouse team speaking truth to power.

Klobucher could be a good compromise candidate or VP, comes across as not radical or threatening but still reasonably progressive.

Bernie is talking now in an interview and saying only way to beat Trump is to excite American working class, young voters, etc. He does still have a knack of doing that. Healthcare as a human right including dental care and eye care, rebuilding infrastructure, bringing back jobs --those should resonate in the midwest and blue collar areas, regardless of which of these two gets the nomination.

Warren came across as very strong and a fighter, and I predict she will rise further in the polls.

I'm not yet convinced that anyone besides one of these two can electrify enough voters to win, though I'm liking Buttigieg more and more.

The rest in tonight's batch of candidates should drop out and make room for those with potential to win.

Warren and Buttigieg were solid, O'Rourke and Klobuchar were good. Bernie is on the way down, I think.

If he is, I'd be very surprised. He looked and sounded strong and smart tonight.
