TY Boris. All3, are you asking for current Repugnant policies or the many historical ones?
Let's get back to the debate. Night 2. My take. I WATCHED it closely (on TV)
Much, much better debate than night one!! This is the A team, quite clearly--- save for Warren and Sanders.
This is what I saw.
Biden survived, BUT.
That's the problem, the but. Dems NEED to wake up. He will fall short IF He is the standard bearer.
He's just, I'm sorry to say, too old for the job. So is Bernie BTW!
His grasp is shaky. His understanding lacking. His willingness to admit errors too weak.
Booker ate him alive. What do you think Trump will do?
The losers (excepting Biden)
HARRIS!! Biggest loser of the night.
Lost her credibility AND her position as the next in line following the front runner.
Mayor what's his name of N.Y. Bye Bye Mayor!!
Yang. 12 Grand per person per year, eh??? Why again?
I can use the cash. And it likely would be a boon to tattoo parlors and the like, but, really?
What would be the cost? socially as well.
What else does he got. Nothing. Bye bye Yang. Your jig is up.
Who's left? Oh, yeah, the Senator from Colorado. Senator eyebrows.
Secure hair, though. I do know it blows on the Eastern slope.
Too bad, your ideas mostly blow, too! Loser.
OK, too summarize.
Loser #1. K. Harris.
#2 - 5. Mayor Bill, Yang, Bennet, and Gillibrand.
Gillibrand did get in a couple decent quips and seemed competent and likeable tonight. But WAY WAY too little, and I expect it's too late for her.
That leaves 5 left.
Not all were big winners.
1st of all, the ONLY win Biden gets is a pass as the front runner. He did NOTHING to solidify himself, and worse yet, NOTHING to make himself look able, OR younger. He's tired and he's YESTERDAY. WAKE UP Dems! Please!
Inslee didn't really win, BUT I can't dub him a loser. His knowledge and advocacy on behalf of the planet may keep him in it awhile, and He MAY catch fire. Stranger things have happened. I give you the Rep. primary of 2016 for example.
So. The Big 3 winners.
1. Booker. For the 1st time I saw his appeal. His confidence. His quickness of mind. He'd KILL Trump in any debate. That's a BIG Plus. Clear winner of the night.
#2. Tulsi Gabbard. As this was the 1st fairly largely viewed debates this was a swell introductory evening. Poised. Confidant. Smart and TOUGH. Her takedown of Harris left Harris ******!! Harris was off her game the rest of the night! Clearly Tulsi had her with "accurate info" that Harris wasn't expecting. Gabbard spoke for only 10 1/2 minutes (Biden had over 21) but her time on camera was very effective. She made her points calmly, effectively, and stated her rationale for the Presidency. Should get a big boost in fundraising.
#3. Julian Castro. This is his 2nd win in a row in my view. He schooled Biden even more effectively than Booker in their interchange over the border. Once again Castro demonstrated his knowledge on the issues and his leadership ability. Does he have what it takes to become the 1st Hispanic POTUS?? Time will tell, BUT I'd vote for him over Trump any day I had left to breathe on this earth. That makes him winner #3 for this night.
All in all good debates with night 2 clearly the superior debate.
The "A" squad (those going further in this thing) are.
Biden, Warren, Sanders, Booker, Harris, Castro, Gabbard, Mayor Pete, maybe Inslee.
The rest should withdraw and focus their energy on their families.
