Same question I asked yesterday: which candidate that you like didn't live up to expectations?

I thought that Hickenlooper didn't do anything positive with his time on stage. Unclear answers, and mentioning that he's not a socialist far too often.

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

1. I don't really like Yang but I thought he'd make things more interesting

He didn’t. Hardly spoke at all and did nothing with what little airtime he had. He needs a poetry advisor.

3. Yang looked like a robot and super out of place.

6. Yes, I have a bit of a soft spot for Yang, but he did himself no favors last night. (n/t)

Biden, Kamala and Pete rocked last night.

I honestly have a soft spot for Marianne Williamson, as I think she is a well-intentioned individual who does more good than harm on the world. She is just woefully underqualified for any form of political office.

4. Biden is my choice, but i certainly dont think he "rocked" last night.

He's going to have to step up his game IMO

5. Look at videos of other recent public appearances. This is as good as he gets in 2019. (n/t)

8. I've said this was my fear going in. Its his to lose, and he just might.

We'll see how he does in the next debate. If he performs like last nite, i'm afraid he's headed downward. I mean, i never expected him to stay as far ahead as he is now, but i think it could get worse.
Its not "ageist" to worry about the appearance of someone OF age. And last night he looked old. Obviously others think the exact opposite, evidenced by the posts.

7. I guess Biden and Hickenlooper.

Biden definitely did ok but I was hoping for a little better. Hickenlooper kept demonizing socialism too much. I don’t agree with socialism but he kind of sounded like a Republican in how much he was talking against it.
