blind-siding theatrics will give her some attention, rising star and all, but she needs to show how
she qualifies for the highest office in the land and is ready for the world stage where playing personal politics won’t work.

This was her night. She made it so and I applaud her presence, her performing ability. She is going
to need more for the GE.

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

Thanks. (Me too.) dchill Jun 2019 #12

I think Kirsten did well. LeftInTX Jun 2019 #70

She, Bernie and Eric were obnoxious. IluvPitties Jun 2019 #100

Yes, and I like Swalwell. He's just out of his element. George II Jun 2019 #109

The freedom dividend idea fell flat TheFarseer Jun 2019 #94

Yang was okay when he got a chance to speak, which wasn't often.... George II Jun 2019 #107

He already lost me when he declared no loyalty to the DNC RainCaster Jun 2019 #6

He lost me way before the booing of John Lewis and Hillary Clinton at the Convention. NBachers Jun 2019 #51

That was horrible! redstatebluegirl Jun 2019 #102

Bernie is basically a one trick pony, in a good way. Blue_true Jun 2019 #67

I wonder why no one mentioned last night that in 1974 he was against school busing. George II Jun 2019 #124

George. One of the sad realities is forced busing was more of an issue in the north. Blue_true Jun 2019 #127

I wish I could remember the question, but he was asked something totally unrelated.... George II Jun 2019 #110

When he was asked what he would do if Roe v. Wade was gone, he talked about Medicare for All. betsuni Jun 2019 #120

That was it. It was an irrelevant answer to the question, zooming right back to his talking points. George II Jun 2019 #122

As always. betsuni Jun 2019 #123

Bernie's message is tired and overly simplistic. yardwork Jun 2019 #14

"We need a revolution. Tens of millions of people..." tinrobot Jun 2019 #30

It's so funny how you're calling out "Biden Supporters" Cha Jun 2019 #80

IDK, I'm watching Biden get buried on CNN BeyondGeography Jun 2019 #33

Nor will the exchange with Michael Bennet, or his defense of the NRA Perseus Jun 2019 #46

Among those who "count", yes indeed. OilemFirchen Jun 2019 #34

Not at all. He was supportive of others' ideas and stayed true to doing the greatest good for ancianita Jun 2019 #35

NO ... it was Gillibrand nt Raine Jun 2019 #36

I think Biden was the big loser SCantiGOP Jun 2019 #37

I said tye same thing on another thread--about Bernie deserving credit for moving the tblue37 Jun 2019 #54

Yes, let's give credit where it's due. He also got young voters energized, no small feat. JudyM Jun 2019 #134

I don't agree, I think Biden was the biggest looser Perseus Jun 2019 #43

Gun manufactuters call the tune the NRA dances to...he is correct. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #55

Honestly, as I said in another thread, I think Senator Harris effectively ended Joe Biden tonight. Still In Wisconsin Jun 2019 #53

She didnt. She is going nowhere. She wont win a general and Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #58

Wishful thinking? I'm FOR Biden. Still In Wisconsin Jun 2019 #62

Warren emerged from the other debate. I think she likely is the one to watch. Blue_true Jun 2019 #75

Time to switch candidates. Biden held his own. He was on a leash, so a bit strained. Her emmaverybo Jun 2019 #106

The polls over the next two weeks should be interesting. nt Blue_true Jun 2019 #73

I really think it will come down to Warren going nose to nose with someone else. Blue_true Jun 2019 #65

Why would a Bernie supporter Eric J in MN Jun 2019 #86

Bernie was largely irrelevant and easily attacked by the others in the debate. Blue_true Jun 2019 #117

If Elizabeth Warren is sincere about Eric J in MN Jun 2019 #130

I'm honestly surprised he has surged recently on DU. Quackers Jun 2019 #69
