Certainly some of these problems are foreseeable.

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

Thank you, Beagles. Funtatlaguy Jul 2019 #2
Your welcome MustLoveBeagles Jul 2019 #8
This debate is giving me a headache! madaboutharry Jul 2019 #3
I agree; bad format. elleng Jul 2019 #4
I hate that.. and when does it Ever Cha Jul 2019 #21
The moderators are breaking the rules they stated themselves. frazzled Jul 2019 #35
Warren gets interrupted every time. blm Jul 2019 #75
She has the second highest time count frazzled Jul 2019 #92
Because the moderators were gunning for her, and then interrupting blm Jul 2019 #100
I'm no math genius True Dough Jul 2019 #168
lol, that reminds me of Pete's 'I may not be a master fisherman, but I know bait when I see it' line Celerity Jul 2019 #197
Oh yeah, that was a superb line! True Dough Jul 2019 #198
The Mods are HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! TruckFump Jul 2019 #47

These mandatory 15-second responses are a joke DesertRat Jul 2019 #5
YES, LOUSY. elleng Jul 2019 #7
But that's the only thing they know how to do - "infotainment" BumRushDaShow Jul 2019 #11
This just as bad as the stupid hand raising in the first debate MustLoveBeagles Jul 2019 #12
Could the party say "no" to a given format? BadgerMom Jul 2019 #179
Warren is being disingenuous by conflating asylum seeking with non asylum illegal entry Celerity Jul 2019 #9
I noticed that. Chemisse Jul 2019 #167
The questions seem to be crafted to give Bettie Jul 2019 #10
Every question is a republican talking point. DesertRat Jul 2019 #17

Turning it off now. Bettie Jul 2019 #29
This (through no fault of anyone on stage) is doing overall damage to our Party IMHO Celerity Jul 2019 #40
For format reasons, imo; elleng Jul 2019 #49
Fair point Celerity Jul 2019 #67
wow, I just agreed with Williamson IcyPeas Jul 2019 #15

He and Ryan have been very very poor both debates. Beto too (gonna catch heat on that one lol) Celerity Jul 2019 #64
I'm surprised Warren isn't doing better. Klobuchar has had the least speaking time. nolabear Jul 2019 #74
Warren just SLAMMED Delaney, lololol Celerity Jul 2019 #89
That was golden! 😄 nolabear Jul 2019 #91

Beto is much better than last time, and I think Warren is doing okay... thesquanderer Jul 2019 #160

Not at all, dark money is a HUGE reason we are all in this mess Celerity Jul 2019 #94
Based on reponses, it seems lke some of the candidates have never read the 2016 Democratic platform. lapucelle Jul 2019 #37
smh.. Cha Jul 2019 #43
Why are some of the candidates talking about a "healthcare as a right" as if it' s a new concept? lapucelle Jul 2019 #58
Per CNN Klobuchar has had the least speaking time. nolabear Jul 2019 #38
Williamson yadayadayada BeyondGeography Jul 2019 #41

Of course the baby should. But free healthcare for all is ridiculous. In every other single payer emmaverybo Jul 2019 #192
so you think people who are ill should not receive medical attention? Skittles Jul 2019 #196
I think no country that has universal coverage offers that coverage regardless of immigration emmaverybo Jul 2019 #199
Yes, if anyone is sick and on our soil, he or she should be treated Skittles Jul 2019 #200
