Of course I'm here for this clownshow #DemDebate2

You're welcome

How do people watch MSNBC this panel is so tedious

"Every proposal that I have brought forth is fully paid for"

THE CLOWN SHOW IS OFF TO A ROCKING START

Ok this is interesting is Biden going to tell this communist off or what

And...the answer is no

Is anyone else noticing Joe's botox?

His cheeks aren't moving properly

#DemDebate2

Look at John Hickenlooper talking about silly things like "reality" and "cost"

BORING

ALSO BERNIE TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FULLY PAID FOR HICKENLOOPER STOP BEING A BUZZKILL

#DemDebate2

When they pull back and show Biden and Sanders it's really striking how the two leading Democratic candidates are VERY old white men

Not woke

#DemDebate2

I love how they are daring the moderate Colorado democrats to call Bernie on his shit and they won't do it

#DemDebate

Whoever told Gillibrand and Swalwell to belligerently interrupt did them no favors

They look like complete assholes

#DemDebate2

These closeups of Joe Biden's face are doing him no favors

He looks remarkably creepy

#DemDebate2

GEE I HAVE NO IDEA WHY GILLIBRAND HAS ZERO PERCENT

NO IDEA AT ALL

SHE IS SO APPEALING

#DemDebate2

Kamala Harris with the first devastating line of the night

Everyone acting like clowns and she managed to make herself look like the adult in the room with a solid quip - "the people don't want a food fight, they want food on their table."

#DemDebate2

Every time Gillibrand talks I instinctively reach for the mute button

She is grating, obnoxious, and doomed

#DemDebate2

Buttigieg is really smooth

That's two excellent answers so far from him, he and Yang are pretty clearly the smartest people on the stage

#DemDebate2

Sanders and Biden seem like cranky old men, and the contrast with younger, sharper people like Buttigieg and Harris is jarring

#DemDebate2

Who on earth told this Bennet dude he had a chance

What a tedious pubic speaker

#DemDebate2

This is such a weird debate

People are acting like belligerent assholes, rudely jumping all over each other so they can say how much they agree

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

#DemDebate2

LOLOL

Unanimous agreement that illegal immigrants should get free health care

@realDonaldTrump wins again

#DemDebate2

Democrats are really on to something

I really think those white working class voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin are totally down with giving FREE HEALTH CARE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

Oh wait no of course they aren't

#DemDebate2

I swear these debates are put on by Republican moles whose goal is to remind everyone that Democrats should be nowhere near the levers of power

#DemDebate2

Hickenlooper accuses the Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security of kidnapping children

These people do not have any sort of grasp on reality

#DemDebate2

Please stop asking Senator Gillibrand questions @MSNBC

I think I can speak for all Americans

We've heard enough

#DemDebate2

Now Biden is shouting angrily

I'm just getting terrible weird vibes from him right now, he is just too old for this

#DemDebate2

The MSNBC anchor said "3 million Americans were deported."

We're now at the point where they will insist illegal immigrants have the same claim to being American as American citizens

This is national suicide

#DemDebate2

Welp Yang thinks Russia is the greatest geopolitical threat, guess he's going to pander

This environment doesn't suit him at all, Yang seems like a pretty clear introvert and not quite assertive enough

Real talk: Buttigieg's answer on China was really really good

Which is unsurprising because he's been head and shoulders above everyone else so far

To explain - Buttigieg's critique of Trump - that he's too focused on export balances with China, not focused enough on intellectual property theft and authoritarianism - is a really good, nuanced, high ground answer

IMO

#DemDebate2

Oh now @rosariodawson is joining @DaveChappelle calling for DC Statehood

No thanks, we'll pass on two more permanent Democratic Senate seats

Ok Buttigieg is actually scary

This is serious rhetorical talent

#DemDebate2

Gillibrand really is the most irritating candidate in the field

#DemDebate2

Oh look Biden is yelling again

Now Bernie's voice is straining

More angry old man yells at sky

#DemDebate2

Now Bernie is proposing "rotating" judges to other courts?

Is he kidding?

#DemDebate2

LOL Maddow's facial expression when Gillibrand butted in again was PRICELESS

Literally everyone wants to stop hearing her voice and she won't indulge us

#DemDebate2

I've gotten to the point that I'm muting Gillibrand whenever she starts talking

I feel sorry for Maddow and Chuck Todd that they can't do the same

#DemDebate2

Buttigieg is literally the only likable person on the stage, the rest of these people are utterly ridiculous

#DemDebate2

I think Biden's hearing is failing

He had trouble hearing a question before and can't control his volume properly, is yelling inappropriate

Sanders may have this issue too

#DemDebate2

Sanders: SCREW YOUR TECHNOCRATIC REFORMS WE NEED FULL COMMUNISM NOW

#DemDebate2

Do I have to keep watching or are we done here

#DemDebate2

Buttigieg and Harris won, debate was a clown show
