So like 30 minutes in will this debate actually start?

This lighting makes Beto look old and gray instead of steely and emo

I am not loving the jerkiness tonight. EWarren right on point re not using R talking points.

8 yr old nephew: why is everyone yelling? Are they all mad at each other?

Dad: Bernie Sanders looks weird with his hair brushed.

I have the best debate companions tonight.

Is there a reason Tapper is giving Bernie every 3rd comment?

Dad: has anyone told these people that there won't be any auto workers in 5 years? Why is this an interest group?

Dad: anyone who sounds like a republican should be yanked off the stage.

Mayor Pete A+ tonight. Sounds like a grown-up amidst the scratching match.

Can we end the use of -justice as a suffix before it becomes meaningless forever?

DARK PSYCHIC FORCE OF COLLECTIVIZED HATRED

There are all kinds of diversity on this debate stage

Oh it isn't the lights, it's his make-up.

Again: never airbrush, men

DEEP TOXICITY UNDER THE SURFACE (juju hands motion)

I will miss MW when she is gone -- mostly for the hand motions.

Ummmmmm what CNN genius allowed an ad about hunting people to air during the debate?

And who paid for it?

Text from old friend: "Delaney looks like the stunt double for the worst principal I worked for."

Yes.

My dad is cheering MW's explanation of thriving society = stimulating economy, quit nitpicking.

In stoppage time, CNN finally gets to foreign policy questions.

Bernie sounds like Trump a lot, it turns out. And receives the same boost from Kremlin info ops. How handy!

This question re Kim Jong Un is completely stupid. It's like CNN is treating this debate like a Cuomo prime time panel discussion.

Nephew: "I'm glad I'm watching this because now I can say I know how dumb all the candidates are."

🔥🔥

Nephew: "wait, are we getting rid of Trump?"

We vote for prez every 4 years

Nephew: "ugh... Wait, TRUMP HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS?"

Mayor Pete call out of hollow Repubs A+.

Bernie is the new Nader. He literally can only discuss one issue.

Last commercial break: hunting humans for sport!

This commercial break: clown car

Profound.

Dad: why are they doing closing statements? How about asking another question like "why are you wasting someone else's time by being on this stage?"

I wish dad would get on Twitter.

Dad should MST3K all debates. It's brilliant. I am weeping with laughter.

Hickenlooper: what a night, I loved it!

Dad: well you should have been in the audience!!

Mayor Pete, why you so good.

My dad sits in total silence as Warren speaks.

The swarm of campaign comms ladies coming on stage with giant tote bag purses -- too much reality. 😂
