CNN must have gotten the message. The moderators are

acting less like inquisitors.

2. Could have been.

3. I think Tapper has cooled his jets; Dana Bash is being more obnxious. Don Lemon has been fine

4. Seems that way, at least SOME sentences are allowed to be completed!

5. Last night was horrible. It made me think of both the movie and the song.

6. They were incredibly obnoxious to Warren last night. Framing questions to others as

an open door to attack Warren specifically.

7. +1

8. Both nights were horrible.

CNN’s setup made the debates look like episodes of American Gladiator. By constantly injecting themselves into the debate and starting dogfights between candidates the moderators worked for ratings at the expense of the Democratic Party. Sadly - the candidates fell right into the dog fight game show and spent most of the night attacking each other... when they weren’t (bizarrely) attacking the record of the Obama Administration.

The only thing... The only thing that matters is beating Donald Trump. Let’s hope that at the next debate they don’t take the bait and instead wage war against Trump.

9. What I witnessed was Democrats giving Trump ammo.

Attacking each other so viciously just opens wounds that the Orange Turd can pour salt on. The moderator's loaded questions created the situation and, again, their complacency and show boating will just increase the chance of the Turd being reelected. The same way their incompetence resulted in the criminal being elected in the first place.

10. Both nights were horrible. Fact.

Lots of GOP soundbites for next year's general election were generated over the course of the two debates.

11. Indeed

Trying to resurrect the school busing fight between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is one example.
