We're in trouble, folks.

(6,613 posts)And almost chose Liz as my new preference. But Joe's been on my mind a lot too, and I didn't want to make a hasty decision.
Is it possible to wear out the 'preference' button?

(8,059 posts)going off reviews, she had a quavering voice and stormed offstage? If so, that will be fatal for us in November. Composure is everything. I switched to Bloomberg because I don't really care for the rest of the field, beyond liking them as decent people who mean well. Every single one of the candidates has glaring flaws, so I'm looking for resume, competence, experience, and resources to both beat Trump AND be an effective President.

(8,059 posts)other people declare to be "good" or "bad" performances, so I usually just watch key moments if I do it at all. I remember the supposedly terrible Obama/Romney debate and I thought Obama looked calm and reasonable, and I realized my debate-performance radar wasn't set or synchronized to everyone else's. I usually make up my mind on other factors than debates.

(13,783 posts).. disingenuous (and absolutely tone deaf) when "apologizing" for the multiple Non Disclosure Agreements he an his company have been involved in for sexual harassment and discrimination, and the same for red lining and stop and frisk. I had been contemplating overlooking "that's how I was raised" behavior from the 80's and 90's and mistakes made in policy by well intenioned people who didn't understand the consequences. But he's just tone deaf to the realities.

(8,059 posts)his recognition (as he's said) that stop and frisk was wrong and hurt people. The harassment suits against his companies and the NDA's I don't really care that much about, and I say that as a middle aged woman. So much of that was decades ago. I don't think it would matter in a GE with an actual accused serial assaulter like Trump. Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, all of these people have baggage that the GOP will use. I'm not that optimistic right now.

Doremus
(7,261 posts)I've been undecided between her or Bernie. After her stellar performance last night I'm sticking with her because she is a fighter! We are going to need that quality in the next pres.

(11,491 posts)But heard a lady from Tennessee on radio today that was going to early vote for Biden, decided to watch debate to check out Bloomberg. She said after watching debate she called Elizabeths campaign and donated money and is early voting for her.
She sounded like 50-60s. Nice lady thought Liz had what it took to go up against Trump, was wavering on Biden why she watched debate. So I guess they do matter.

(1,292 posts)I prefer to read their policy positions and do my own research.
These debates are nothing more than clown shows and I dont find any candidates performance indicative of how good or bad one would be as President. I have no interest in who has the best zingers or who screams the loudest, who flubbed an answer or who scored a gotcha moment.
I will make up my mind right before the NYS primary dependent on who will be left on the ballot at that time.
TBS, My 1st criteria this election season is picking the candidate I best believe can defeat Donald. I will be setting aside my personal political philosophy and what is most important to me in that regard, because this year is not the time to vote for who might be my personal preference. My #1 priority is getting Donald out of the WH.
