The Debate From a Slightly Different Perspective

[Pachamama]

9. I completely agree and had a similar reaction to the debate last night

I hate the format that CNN did and the questions were all designed to have them battling each other. The circular firing squad format and tearing at Obama era policies pissed me off. If as much time was going to be spent discussing healthcare plans, how about they started with focusing on what works and is great and how everyone will defend what is awesome and fight what Trump and the GOP are doing RIGHT NOW in trying in court to get rid of existing condition coverage.

Also - everything is useless to be talking about if Trump isn't beaten, we don't keep the majority in Congress and we don't take the Senate.

I have been hoping for almost 9 months now that we will have a Harris/Biden or Biden/Harris ticket. I was disgusted at the first debate at her unleashing on Biden on the busing - it may have given her a temporary boost - but I thought then and still think that would backfire on her. Last night she did not do well and I think she not only looked unprepared for the attack from Tulsi Gabbard and seemed rattled and didn't do a good job of responding. I think she is going to have a struggle in future if she can't address some of her record as AG in CA.

Biden I think did well and his numbers will continue to stay strong. I think that they may even go up.

The first night I feel that it was Warren's and Mayor Pete's night. I think after last night's debate its really down to Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Sanders, and Warren. I think DiBlasio is a jerk and Delaney is GOP light. They and the 0% should plan to go away and support their party - even if that means just being quiet.

Castro can't win with his argument of decriminalizing immigration. It would have been nice to see his voice moving forward and representing the Latino view - but I think he will do better leaving the race and supporting the nominee and party in future and maybe even have a cabinet position in future or run for another office in his home state. Him or Beto should run for Senate in Texas.

I like Amy Klobuchar - but I want to see her remain as the Senator from Minnesota. She should focus on that and supporting the nominee and party and keeping the Senate seat.

Same for Bennet - I actually like him and think that he is a good representative of the moderate liberals - but lets keep the Senate seat he is in and have him support the nominee and party.

Bullock is also a good moderate - I wish he would run in future for the Montana Senate Seat.

Hickenlooper - he should focus on becoming the other moderate democrat (or DINO) Senator of Colorado.

Booker will never have the nomination nor the VP bid - he should focus on supporting the Democratic Party and to be keeping his senate seat in NJ.

Gillibrand - loved her reference to Clorox in the Oval Office - I still will never forgive her for Franken and she should focus on supporting the democratic cause and doing her job in the NY Senate seat.

Jay Inslee - He is the environmental/climate change go-to guy. I hope he will either have a seat in the future cabinet of the democratic President - or maybe even take a Senate seat for Washington when either of the Senators retire.

Yang - I would like to see him actually kept in the discussion too because of some of the points he brings up....especailly in the face of AI and the implications that has. Its nice to see an Asian American in the mix. Maybe he can run for some other seat in Congress or Senate in future that is in Republican hands.

Williamson - I love some of the things she says - until she gets too New Age - its one thing if she was talking to me and we went and did some Ayahuasca in the Amazon and we could be Jaguars under the stars running through the jungle and talking about our dreams for the future. But she has no chance. I hope that somehow she can make change through her writings and speeches after this.
