Congratulations BERNIE!

[myohmy2]

...for being the most forceful, articulate, civil and Presidential...

...while many were attacking you, and while the moderators wouldn't let you respond, and while you had the floor they often cut you off, you remained calm, under control, civil and Presidential...

...while many seemed to be burning the bridges they would need for the Presidency or to govern in the future, you remained calm, under control, civil and Presidential...

...you did an excellent job in getting out our message and for being on topic considering what was basically a free-for-all food fight...

...the debate moderators were grossly incompetent and disrespectful to us and our Party for the carnival atmosphere...

...the one positive note I believe is that people love carnivals and free-for-all food fights but a debate considered worthy of being called Presidential, I don't think so...

...IMO, you now have the best chance of all the candidates to hold this Party together to take on trump in the Fall...

...Godspeed, BERNIE...

1. I agree. Solid showing while being attacked all around.

And his answer to the last question was great. Brought it all home.

7. More stump speech

Always the same answers, ever since seeing him in 2015. Almost verbatim. Evasive, avoided answering multiple questions. Looked like his head was going to explode. Awful night. Sorry

8. Just spoke with clarity and sincerity and ultimately

Had the best, most consistent message tonight

[Amishman]

10. Best of a bad lot tonight, though Biden was close also. No one came across well

piss poor moderation and format.

[Smackdown2019]

12. Agree!

The moderation was awful! Come on.... that includes the debate... oh wait.... was told we got a minute left....

Good Grief!

16. The worst debate to date. Horrible moderating. No control over panel or audience.

It was embarrassing all around for the critical choices people have to make.
I learnt nothing new. Have a bunch of new questions, which is just the more frustrating. And switching to new questions rapid fire for the second half - what was that?
I'll stick to CBS's late night programming only.

13. I enjoyed this debate but not for the reasons listed in the OP

14. He was awful

All he did was pivot to his stump speech on almost every question and he was clearly very angry. His face was red and he was yelling louder than normal.

15. I love James Carville
