Joe BidenCongratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!

My takeaway...

Top performers were Bullock in the moderate lane, Warren in the progressive lane, and Buttigieg in the “fresh face” lane. Bernie still come across as too angry. Nobody sitting around me in the theater thought he could win. Klobuchar doesn’t seem to be gaining traction in terms of moving to the top tier. Delaney, Ryan and Hickenlooper should pack it in.

3. Pete Buttigieg

 

got a good chance to deliver more of his thoughtful, measured remarks. Hopefully, he stopped the bleeding.

10. Welp.

 

Under his winners:

*Donald Trump: An extended conversation about eliminating all private insurance. A top-tier candidate -- Warren -- fully embracing decriminalizing illegal immigration. All of that is music to the President's ears. Remember that his poll numbers -- job approval that has never broken 50%, etc. -- suggest that there is no positive message that wins Trump a second term. Which means he needs as much fodder as possible to cast Democrats as deeply out of touch and representative of a creeping socialism. He got plenty on Tuesday night.

8. Bernie should have been angry,

 

this debate was set up to take him and Warren down.

When you have a question from the moderators, "are Bernie's ideas too radical to beat trump,?" I would get pissed too. Who else had a question directly attacking them?

I will be interested to see if cnn runs the next debate to take down Biden and Warren.

14. Warren handled it far better than Bernie.

 

That should really set in with people that are torn between the two.
