Yes I'm live-tweeting the #DemDebate

Don't say I don't bleed for you all

Wait @BetoORourke is a former Congressman?

I guess marrying into a family worth half a billion dollars makes it easy to quit your job

Also probably makes being a furry easier

Is that the first time LATINX has been uttered in a presidential debate?

Also @SenWarren's answer here is pretty strong fwiw

OH SHIT KLOBUCHAR JUST THREW A STAPLER AT SAVANNAH GUTHRIE

jk she just wants to

Also sorry @amyklobuchar is boring and she will not win sorry

Speaking Spanish won't get your wife to forgive you for ditching your family @BetoORourke

Dude Booker is restraining himself from laughing at Beto's Spanish-speaking

Impressive discipline

YES TO 70% tax rates from Beto

Pass

How about a wealth tax asshole you're worth 8 figures

Welp @CoryBooker is talking about bills he sponsored in the Senate, that's the end of his campaign

Sorry bro

Cory Booker is trying to talk about growing corporate power without mentioning Google or Facebook

And I'm actually digging @SenWarren on the big tech monopolies

Julian Castro is asked a question and immediately starts talking about his mom

Also he's short

Very suspect

BAE @TulsiGabbard is talking and immediately brings up REGIME CHANGE WARS because she is BAE

And no applause because Democrats are actually crypto-neoconservatives

De Blasio is smart enough to talk at the camera and not to the moderators

As much as I hate the guy this is a good answer

Oh here's John Delaney talking about how socialism is bad and proposing technocratic reforms BORING

You'll never get anywhere without embracing full communism @JohnDelaney

And stop talking about building businesses Democrats don't believe in that

Inslee going for unions good and high CEO pay bad

Smart

Sorry @TimRyan you're boring too

And this talk about keeping jobs in Ohio is @realDonaldTrump you better be careful

Whoa only two people support full universal health care

@DemSocialists hardest hit

#DemDebate

"We call that all foam and no beer."

Starting to wonder why no one told @amyklobuchar she had no chance

Oh wait I know why, because she'd throw a stapler at you if you told her

I don't understand @BetoORourke right now he's not speaking Spanish

DeBlasio is literally full communist

He actually *wants* to take private health insurance away

And @JohnDelaney dunks on him

"There are too many people profiting off the pain"

This is the stuff that brings out my inner libertarian (which has had a bad decade)

Oh and insurers have to cover abortions in @JayInslee's world

The 2020 Democrat platform

"I don't believe in reproductive freedom I believe in reproductive justice." - @JulianCastro

#DemDebate

"We now have an America where most people agree with Roe v. Wade, we need to make that federal law." - @SenWarren

#DemDebate

Winner at the mid-point: @realDonaldTrump

#DemDebate

Julian Castro will eviscerate our immigration laws and give a pile of money to Central American countries

AND WAIT BOOKER IS NOW SPEAKING SPANISH TOO

#DemDebate

Oh and they want to make illegal border crossing a civil violation

That sounds like it will totally deter illegal crossings and definitely won't lead to more drownings

The Democrats actually want us to be Canada

A fully bilingual nation

#DemDebate

Literally the Democrats are trying to be as left-wing as possible on immigration without saying the phrase "open borders"

Winner of the debate is @realDonaldTrump

#DemDebate

Julian Castro: "I'm not talking about those seeking asylum. I'm talking about everyone else [who crosses illegally]."

OPEN BORDERS

#DemDebate

Here's @amyklobuchar trying to be nuanced again

Talking about how she'll "look" at @JulianCastro's plan

BORRRRRRING

#DemDebate

"The President should send doctors to take care of these kids."

Hey @TimRyan - you're in the House, they are literally trying to pass a bill, maybe go back to DC in and do your job

#DemDebate

I really want the Democrats to have debates every single day

I don't know how you watch the #DemDebate without concluding that this is a complete clown party that should be nowhere near the levers of power

Cory Booker is actually kind of an adult!

9 other candidates basically would supplicate to the Iranian regime

Booker would at least play a little hardball

Good for him, I guess

#DemDebate

"THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS CHICKENHAWK CABINET."

Damn @TulsiGabbard

I think you're overstating things but I appreciate the moxie

LOL just saw an ad for DC statehood featuring @DaveChappelle

As a DC resident let me make this clear

I do not want to be represented in Congress

On the other hand I feel like the citizens of East Wyoming could use their own state

THE RUSSIANS HAVE HACKED THE MIKES

#DemDebate

Also hell yeah @JCNSeverino, appreciate seeing a Judicial Crisis Network ad on MSNBC

But seriously there's another hour of this? Why

#DemDebate

That was a really good line from @CoryBooker

"In our schools, kids are learning reading, writing, arithmetic, and how to deal with an active shooter."

He's one of the better performers tonight IMO

#DemDebate

Democrats want common sense gun reform

I want common sense wall reform

It's common sense - walls stop illegal crossings and prevent the deaths of migrant children

Build the Wall

#DemDebate

Now @amyklobuchar is lionizing children in politics

This reminds me

Raise the voting age to 30

It's common sense, what the hell do children know really

#DemDebate

Oh shit @CoryBooker is talking about "balancing" the Supreme Court with 50 votes

By "balancing" he means packing the courts

That's the Democratic platform

Like your conservative Supreme Court?

You'll lose it if @CoryBooker wins

#DemDebate

I'll give this to the Democrats

They are all WARTIME Democrats

They know what the score is

Too bad @DavidAFrench doesn't

#DemDebate

To explain:

https://twitter.com/willchamberlain/status/1133878814004588544

Ok @realDonaldTrump is right this is boring

#DemDebate

FYI I focused for 75 minutes and I've stopped caring

Hope you enjoyed the show

Concluding thought

Normal people who don't care much about politics, if they are watching the #DemDebate, will likely conclude that @realDonaldTrump is on to something
