John Delany to me might have well been running on the republican ticket the way he talked.
Tulsi Gabbard, while I liked her military service, she'd make a great cabinet member, but looked way too forced and stiff last night.
I cant remember who kept repeating that we need as a party, to stop sticking to our old haunts and play offence and expand our map. I am getting Tim Ryan and Jay Inslee confused. But that has been why dems since Reagan have never had enough long term power of all three branches. We cant simply stick to coastal states, big cities and suburbs. The GOP have been masters dividing races and zip codes for decades, and workers of all races and zip codes would do better to unite against that party to gain a seat at the table.
And as much as De Blisio bothers me running, he was spot on in saying, " Migrants didn't do this to you, big corporations did."
Warren was solid, I thought Booker and Castro too. I like Beto too but maybe it was just me, I really didn't get the Robert F Kennedy vibe I'd seen from him prior.
As far as the second round tonight, I am looking forward to see how Pete and Biden fair. But ultimately I will still back whomever we nominate.
I will say for comic relief, the late night comics, and even the morning news shows got a screen shot of Cory Booker giving laser eyes at Beto for beating him to speaking Spanish, "HEY MAN, I WAS GOING TO DO THAT FIRST!".
Meanwhile Castro was thinking, "Bitches, please."
I didn't watch (obviously) and have no plans to, but I can make a few guesses as to what happened:
-The candidates frequently ran over their allotted time.
-The candidates talked over each other.
-The candidates interrupted each other.
-No one had any real answers.
-Some of the questions were kind of stupid.
-No matter how stupid the questions, the candidates tried to give serious-sounding answers.
-Candidates were interrupted by applause more than once.
-Trump was mentioned (and booed) more than once.
-Nothing really changed.
