This debate is killing me.

I don't know with which candidate I am most angry.

Jeez guys, don't take the moderators' bait. Attack Trump - not each other.

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

isnt on this ballot and attacking him doesnt tell us which of them are our best option.

pretty safe to say nobody on stage tonight likes Trump and we will have all summer and fall to go after him.

I'm saying just what you are, it's up to everyone to decide what they think is a cheap shot vs what's a legitimate point.
