Pete Buttigieg was the smartest person on the stage...

...recognizing that, while Bloomberg was the target of the evening, Sanders was the target that everyone who wanted to win the Primary would need to take on.

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

I got to admit Brooklynite I’ve been skeptical for Mayor Pete but he showed tonight he is very capable and willing to go hard. He also comes across as very likeable and genuine. My #2 was Amy but after this debate it’s Pete, very impressed.

He wasn't the best tonight (Warren was) but he did great under a lot of persecution.
