Winner of tonight's debate?

[ecstatic]

They've all done well tonight, but I think Elizabeth Warren has managed to stay above the fray and deliver excellent answers each time. No squabbling with anyone, no overly rehearsed/cheesy lines, and very "presidential." There's still another 40 minutes to go, but I think she will be declared the winner of this debate.

27. IMO, it was a great discussion.

It wasn't important who won. The candidates were given a platform and they all did well in using it to their advantage. I could get picky, but that serves no purpose. What we heard was the direction of the Democratic Party. They are listening to the public.

31. Certainly the best debate by far.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

2. Having a hard time picking a winner...

Think Klobuchar was strong, concerned Warren didn’t get a lot of time. I think Warren had great points when she spoke but I’m really interested to see how much time they each got.

3. Who can win the Electoral College

which is state by state? Biden I support him, because I want to get rid of trump.

[RandySF]

4. I don't think Warren even got enough time to win it.

[IcyPeas]

5. I'm waiting for the denouement

someone might surprise us yet.

[dem4decades]

6. I have an idea who lost.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. Castro?

[Green Line]

12. That would be my guess

[AkFemDem]

13. Castro and Biden.

[dem4decades]

20. That was my thought. He attacked Biden and was wrong on the merit.

Over played his hand.

[Jirel]

23. Castro.

Why, oh why, would he and his advisors decide that scripted attacks on Biden were the key to rising in the polls?

Also Buttigieg (for saying nothing to stand out of the crowd), Yang (amateur hour), and Beto (letting loose about issues that frustrate him vs. running seriously for president).

[Bradical79]

29. Castro!

I didn't watch the debate, but when you get dragged on Colbert during his monologue, and by two subsequent guests, and get the crowd to gasp in shock when just showing a clip of what was said (not even with the fact check)... I'm thinking he had the worst night.

[renate]

7. I support Elizabeth Warren 200%, but I voted for Harris

She’s doing really well IMO.

But I just realized that I’m about 45 minutes behind so maybe I shouldn’t have voted yet.

[Agschmid]

18. The one liners are good but they are all prepped and she just finds the right time.

They get old fast IMO.

[AkFemDem]

8. I have no clue how anyone could say Biden won...

Your record players must be way louder and clearer than mine.

[Green Line]

14. A large majority of the people who actually get out to vote

Know what record players are

[AkFemDem]

16. Well I hope they aren't listening to them intently for the voices

19. it was ugly

[Perseus]

10. We, the citizens of the United States of America

What a bunch of very highly qualified, compassionate people we have as candidates.

I would love for some of them to instead run for the Senate, we need to take the Senate.

Wonderful evening overall.

[Iggo]

11. All of us. (n/t)

[Blaukraut]

15. We all won because we got a glimpse of what CAN be and not what IS

I support EW, Beto, Harris, Pete, Booker. In that order. But I'm not against any of the rest and I won't bash them. Except to say that Bernie and Biden remind me of the Muppets balcony guys. And that's not a bad thing

[IcyPeas]

21. I've crossed a few off my list...

Sanders
Yang
Castro

but still undecided as to the top.

[myohmy2]

22. It struck me...

...that Bernie was the only candidate who most forcefully addressed the major issues we're facing with new and innovated solutions...

...the group I was with found most of the questions soft and was looking for hard direct policies the candidates would offer to their problems (problems varied widely with the age in the group)...they were generally disappointed the debate wouldn't allow more interaction between the candidates over their individual proposals, ideas and positions...

...one thing stood out, they appreciated Bernie's sincerity and intensity...


"...for the loser now will be later to win..."

...it's still early...

[Jirel]

24. Love his clarity and passion.

Rooting for Elizabeth or Bernie, for similar reasons. But all I heard was “OMG, Bernie was hoarse!!!” Really? That’s what happens when a guy works his butt off on the campaign trail.

[floppyboo]

25. changed my winner from Booker to Sanders

Just saw some twitter clips of Bernie helping Biden out through the debate, and despite him looking tired and laryngitis, and it not being any where near his best, he wins. He's a mensch.

[BlueMississippi]

26. lmao nt

[floppyboo]

28. Being moved by kindness is arrogant? good grief! nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. Bernie was a beast tonight... though he might have come in a close 2nd to Elizabeth.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

[democratisphere]

30. Couple clear winners and a couple clear losers.

We need to purge the losers NOW!

[Drunken Irishman]

32. Beto.

[Scurrilous]

34. ...

[customerserviceguy]

35. She did well

She sounded easier to listen to than the first two debates, she didn't get flustered by either the moderators nor the other top-tier candidates, and held her own. I was surprised that she didn't go after Joe Biden on economic issues, but she's probably saving that for the debate stage when there' s only her, Biden, Sanders, and maybe one or two others to do that.

It's still early, and there is a long road to go, plenty of time to deal with bankruptcy laws, etc.
