There's one great leader and statesman on that stage, and 6 aspiring, quarreling rivals.

And there's way too much bickering among those aspiring rivals tonight.

1. I don't agree. This is by far the best debate.

Yeah, Pete’s blood is in the water but most of them are being far more organized and smart on their answers. Joe is doing much better too. I’m actually enjoying it. But then, the contrast with the hysterics lately...

2. The debate started out well and went downhill fast.

10. I don't agree on Pete...I think he stood up well for himself and his choices.

But, I also like Joe better than I ever have in this cycle.

I'm one who is not going to get behind anyone in the primary, since it will make it easier come the general...but the standouts to me are Joe, Elizabeth and Pete. Not a fan of Amy trying to get noticed by picking petty fights.

5. Actually, I think I've had a better take on how debates were going, since they started, than a lot

of the people here.

14. He must have gotten most of his minutes in the first half, right?

Because I couldn't watch the first half, and he didn't speak much during the second half.

Former Vice President Joe Biden was supposed to be a 2020 frontrunner. He didn't talk like it.

Biden, the largely undisputed poll leader in the Democratic primary field, spent just 15 minutes and 28 seconds speaking during Thursday's debate. That's nearly four minuted behind South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg's 19 minutes, 12 seconds, and puts Biden ahead of only entrepreneurs Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer in terms of talking time, CNN reports.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is meanwhile on the lower end of the polling spectrum. But that didn't stop her from speaking the second most of the seven candidates onstage. She gt in 19 minutes, 54 seconds of words, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) topped the list with 20 minutes, 18 seconds. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) meanwhile came in third just behind them with 19 minutes, 23 seconds.
