I’ve switched twice now. Biden til I got worried about him, Klobuchar for about a minute, then Liz because she is actually very smart and would lead well.

Warren happens to be great at confronting the powerful and the corrupt. It’s how she is wired. Confronting corruption she morphs into an assassin. That’s what I want to face and replace Trump.

I thought she should have been yanked from the stage. Totally clueless regarding situational influence. She was Trump's best friend all night.

At least Sanders has a movement, even though I deem it flimsy. Warren has nothing except an incompetent grasp of where this country stands in ideological terms.

Also the debate was finally getting back on track yet twice Warren took a response and changed course. I was literally screaming at the moderators to shut her up. It doesn't matter if I agree with her politics. She has no clue what wins nationally and what does not.

i find her candidacy somewhat odd......... she seems well liked, i don't really see her being attacked for some "glaring weakness" like the other candidates have been. She has the highest % on DU. Seems to poll decent if not in front........ yet it just doesn't seem to be translating into votes for her for some reason...... hoping she has a decent super tuesday.

Would love to see them team up.

I'm sorry Yang and Harris left the race. They added new perspectives.

The center-right folks perplex me. Seems they aren't in tune with how angry, underpaid and increasingly anti-establishment the entire country has become. Yes, it's good to have competence. But it's not winning any hearts if that competence isn't addressing the sense that the infrastructure and safety net is needing a return to New Deal era tax rates (90% for the wealthiest during FDR). Even Bernie's 55% proposal for the highest bracket is conservative in comparison. How far we have slid to the right since Reagan. Bernie's and Warren's addressing the rigged system are really quite sober and not extreme in the least. We have really drifted as a country, and corporate power has increased beyond repair since citizen's united. These are deep realities needing our concern. So instead of shooting the messengers, Sanders and Warren, we should be helping ro explain why their policies make sense. Tax the rich like FDR and redirect resources to critical areas like healthcare, public schools, and BANK and OIL COMPANY REGULATIONS.

Warren has a proven track record of holding people accountable. She's asked tough questions, not just to the corrupt banksters, but also to the those running the government agencies that were supposed to be holding the banks accountable and didn't. No surprise that she's the only one who's talked about getting to the bottom of the the administration's crime spree and holding people accountable.

It's a start at restoring our democracy.
