I encourage all of you to tune into the #DemocraticDebate this evening. We are in a pivotal moment for this election and for our country. At a time like this we all need the direction of real leaders. Tonight on stage, there are two of the best. Will be sharing thoughts below! 🇺🇸

No matter which candidate you prefer or whose health care plan might be better, I’d take either one of these candidates over our current leadership. It’s time we had competence and compassion back in the White House. #VoteBlue

This has been the most informative and educational conversation about the #COVID19 pandemic by any candidate for President to date. Words matter, messaging matters, leadership matters. We can’t just say, “It’ll pass.” We must provide the details as to how we’ll get through it.

I can’t decide what’s more aggressive currently. Biden’s eyes getting wider and wider or Bernie’s pointing all around the room. This Wall Street bailout discussion is getting intense! #DemocraticDebate

I think we have just seen a live take on “The Odd Couple” #DemocraticDebate #BernieBiden

In certain situations I can agree that it does matter what someone said or didn’t say. In terms of this debate, during this pandemic, with this administration, I feel we should focus on the task at hand; bringing real leadership back to the White House.

Yes, Joe! Thank you for steering this debate back onto what matters; voting out the current President and bringing leadership back to the White House. Thank you Bernie for following suit and to both candidates for supporting one another, no matter what. #DemocraticDebate

Which woman is your preferred pick at Vice President?

If you have another VP choice, please comment and share who you feel would make the best pick! Apologies for leaving off any and all qualified and incredible candidates!

So glad to see #ClimateChange center stage at this debate. It must be included and acted upon in every decision by everyone from here on out.

Renewable energy is and must be the future. I believe Missouri can be a leader nationwide in renewable energy. As your State Representative in Jeff City, I will make sure #ClimateChange is acted on in every decision that I make. The time to act is now. #JamesforMO

This dictator discussion is a bit petty in my opinion. We all agree that authoritarianism and dictatorships are not good for anyone, and both candidates on this stage agree with that. Period. Lets talk about what our current president has done internationally...

There are so many topics and issues that need to be dramatically improved in our country. But first, in order to make that progress, we need a leader at the helm. Either one of these candidates will be that leader. This November we all know what we must do #VoteBlue #CountryFirst

Who won the debate tonight?

Thanks everyone for following along and participating this evening. I fully believe the next President of the United States was on that stage tonight. Regardless of your preference, I think we all agree that big changes are needed come November.
