Tonight was Biden's strongest debate so far.

[Drunken Irishman]

I hope it changes the trajectory of things. Biden gave the some of the most sincere answers tonight. I think Amy won overall and Mayor Pete held his own. Ultimately, I'm not sure if there was a game-changer tonight, tho.

1. Agree. He realized he's not going to win coasting. He dis well.

2. The polls I've seen that asked if debates changed people's minds generally indicated they don't.

There have been a few debates now where Klobuchar seemed to do best. But it still didn't get her into the top tier.

OTOH, I hope Biden's strong performance tonight will help him.

Not sure it will help with the NH primary, though -- any more than Klobuchar's performance will help her -- if more moderate Dems decide to vote for Buttigieg just because he seems to have the best chance of denying Sanders a victory in NH.

8. If it helps with Biden's fund raising

that would help a great deal. I think he can last a long time, as long as he doesn't run out of funds.

14. Oh, I hope so. Hope he can last if he gets money. Hope he gets money!

17. I'm seeing some new converts on this thread...

18. Nice news. Posts here and MSM were broadcasting that he'd been fatally wounded in Iowa, died

shortly after, and they were performing autopsies on his doomed candidacy to see if he’d shot himself in the foot or forgot to wear a muzzle to the debates.

19. The corp media is despicable with their manufactured

and manipulative narratives to make sure of their tax breaks.. no matter how under water the Planet is.

If Biden isn't our Nom.. I hope the nom realizes that they too will get the Biden treatment only in a different way, shape, and form.

[PatSeg]

21. Yes, the MSM only acknowledged Biden's existence

when Trump went after him and when he does poorly in the polls. They are too busy looking for their next new shiny object. Seems like they did the same thing to Hillary.

[PatSeg]

20. Oh, that's great

So many people were raving about Klobuchar, who did a wonderful job, but overlooked Joe, who came across as very knowledgeable and presidential.

[Cha]

22. Yes it is! It just depends on who

appeals to ya for the job!

[doc03]

3. +1

[UniteFightBack]

4. He should of been doing this from the get go instead of walking on egg shells. nt

[Green Line]

12. Yes he should, I don't understand what was going on with him

[FailureToCommunicate]

5. Agreed. I thought his answers were strong, sincere, and, when Bernie was...

being accused of having "no friends in Congress" Joe Biden leaned over and put an arm on Bernie's shoulder. It was just a little gesture, but it showed a quality of empathy Biden has in spades. That's a decent human being. That's the kind of character we need again in the White House.

[emmaverybo]

15. Oh yes. That, empathy, is what I love about Biden. It's not abstract with him. He shows it. All

the time. Exactly “the kind of character we need again in the White House.”

6. The Vindman thing was great

Although I think Klobuchar was so much better than everyone else it might not matter. Warren also had good moments and I'm surprised to see so many people thinking the mayor had a good night when his answer re: race was so terrible. It probably won't hurt him in NH though.

[FailureToCommunicate]

9. Vice President Biden imploring everyone to stand to honor Vindman was THE electric

moment of the night! Thunderous ovation!

[JudyM]

7. I liked that he was standing on his own this time instead of leaning repeatedly on Obama...

that made him seem stronger. He seems like a sweet man.

10. Fred Guttenberg.. "Thank you @JoeBiden for bringing up PLCCA in the debate tonight."
