I'm sorry but .... BORING zzzzzzzzzzzz

I am a passionate Democratic voter. Always have been and have never missed a democratic debate, EVER.

This was the most BORING debate EVER. From the format to the questions to the time allotted for the answers and rebuttals. The quality of the questions were poor to say the least. Maybe it was the fact that there were too many candidates in the debate. All in all, time wasted. What a shame.

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

Kept my attention the whole time, and I was proud of all our candidates, well, except for Tulsi.

running about on errands, and i was disappointed in the mods long detailed questions to whatever candidate, and the short period of time before they cut them off ... nobody was allowed to fully answer the question...
or at least that's the way it sounded to me

ymmv

the first question -- should voters decide Trump's fate -- is a right-wing talking point IMO. This question alone killed it for me.
Impeachment is a responsibility/duty of Congress. They might as well debate the validity of the constitution. There are so many candidates that the time needed to present respective political ideologies to too precious to waste.

Speaking if which, yes, there are too many candidates.

And I loathe the live audience format.

It is like being back in one of those social or work meetings when the classic narcissist cuts you off constantly. Even if you aren't the one being interrupted constantly, the feeling of unease and irritation permeates.

I can't say having six and six on two separate nights would have been the answer, but maybe they just needed to cover a bit less ground in the three hours allotted.

...the winnowing process...

...if nothing else, we're developing a good stable of candidates for the future...

...we're still 4 months away from the first vote...why give the pukes only a few easy targets for the next 4 months?

...most of us Dems already know who we'll be voting for in the primaries...and it's good practice

...let's do it...
