Klobuchar would make an excellent president

She has the best demeanor and temperament on the whole stage. She has that Angela Merkel feel about her...and that's a compliment. Her personality, skill set, and policies would do well in the WH. However, she doesn't have a prayer of winning. I think it's just sad that probably the best person to be president is not necessarily who can get the votes.

Beto impressed me as well tonight.

Castro can go kick rocks.

Poor Bernie was taking all the heat on MFA in the first hour while Warren was sitting there like a potted plant. I was telling my mom how unfair it was that they were all attacking Bernie on health care, but Warren is going untouched even though she endorses the plan. And she never bothered to interject herself either. I thought it was very cowardly in many ways. It wasn't fair Bernie was taking all the arrows on MFA. I'm not a Bernie fan, but I felt sorry for him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

She can persuade the “persuadable.”

Needs more coverage...

So she wasn't going to get as much time to respond.

Thought Biden, Beto and Klobuchar had good nights.

Thought Bernie and Castro had bad nights. Castro swung and missed at Biden and it felt like a mortal wound to his candidacy that was already on life support. And as you mentioned, Bernie just got blasted the first hour and struggled to respond.

I didn't think Warren had a particularly good or bad night, she just didn't get much opportunity to speak, which sucks because she's my No. 2.
