The truth is, I stopped watching the debate

Because I am already stressing today. I don’t like Democrats fighting although I am a realist about it. I’ll catch up on the coverage later.
Congrats and thanks to all our warriors up there.

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

and I thought it was a good debate even though it got unruly often. They were really more themselves and they were definitely not having it with Bloomberg. Tonight was needed for that very purpose, to tell him to go sit down and be quiet, no spoilers allowed. And they did their job.

Believe it or not, most of the voters in NV have made up their minds. Bloomberg needs to recognize that he enters super Tuesday with mortal wounds. I expect him to drop out by April if not sooner.

I think Bloomberg's presence brought out a lot of aggression, which i think is understandable. Everyone else on that stage has been out there campaigning for months, while Bloomberg just spent obscene amounts of money on ads. It was important that they eliminate him as a threat.

I agree that the candidates were more themselves this time.

If Trump gets brave and debates our candidate, it shows what they can do. A good work out.

Nothing meaningful comes from these yell fests except further division which helps the GOP.

When they started yelling over and at each other, I had to turn it off. Arguing always upsets me, so reading about the debate later and watching a few pertinent video snippets are quite enough.
