Tonight's debate ranked from best to why am I even ranking them.
Rankings are not endorsements. I don't have a candidate, I'm
just a reporter.

1. Bernie and Warren tied.
2. Buttigieg
3. Williamson
4. Klobuchar
5. Beto
No one else belongs on that stage.
#DemDebate
If you think that this country wants candidates like Ryan, Bullock, Hickenlooper and Delaney you are not reading the room.
#DemDebate
Warren and Williamson both made similar statements about the need to stop spouting GOP talking points to claim some centrist ground.
They are correct.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Gabbard, who doesn't want to be held accountable for her actual votes to harm LGBTQ people, says Harris should be held accountable for her work as AG. Gabbard says that Harris is resorting to "cheap smears" about her.
Gabbard AGAIN refuses to call out Assad and refuses to acknowledge that he is a dictator or mass murderer. AC pushes her and she says it's a deflection and she says we have troops dying in Syria.
Gabbard says #M4A is wrong because it takes healthcare and choice away from people.
None of this is progressive, btw.

The candidates ranked:
Harris won, but not like last time. She was hit repeatedly, but didn't waiver. She was still better than anyone else. Gabbard attacked her viciously and she still held up. Gabbard's real message is that she's running for Biden's VP. She gave him cover.
Yang was surprisingly strong. He really hung onto his message of UBI and it was compelling.

The biggest loser was De Blasio who never belonged. Bennet wasn't a good debater and seemed unable to get across a consistent message.
Booker started slow, picked up, ended strong and positive.
Inslee had a far better debate this time. He knows that he's running for something else and is really powerful for a Cabinet position.
Gillibrand had a great debate and tag teamed well with Harris. Would make a super AG.

#Sanders and #Biden have both been on #Medicare for well over a decade.
Didn't they every look at what it is?
Medicare has parts A, B. C and D.
Everyone has to buy a plan in addition to what the government provides.
So this is actually exactly #Medicare--for all....
Parts A, B, C and D. Parts A & B are known as Original Medicare. This is the most basic coverage you can get. Parts C & D are available through private health plans. They're both ways to enhance your health care coverage if you want more than what Original Medicare offers.
#M4A
Medicare has several parts. Part A covers your hospital care. Part B is for your medical care or doctor visits. Part C, which is an alternative to Parts A and B covers both your hospital care and doctor visits. Part D is a prescription drug plan. - aarp.org/health/medicar…

1) Recap of last night's democratic debate:

The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee funneled four pots of coffee before taking the stage and nearly has a heart attack while screaming about the republicans.
2)The quote of the night is already, "Climate change threatens our universe."
Never change, Tom Perez... Never change.

The moderators are introduced.
We have three hours of tonight's debate featuring ten candidates talking for seven minutes each divided into segments of four
3) I'm already confused.

ONE?! Only one of these jobbers has dropped since the last debate? How is that possible? I'm looking directly at you, Beto.
The national anthem is sung and shockingly, all the candidates remained standing and no one took a knee.

1/Tonight’s “debate” used a criminally stupid format. It would be better to divide the three hours evenly, with three rounds. Each candidate makes one statement of 10 minutes, then one five minute rebuttal, then a 3 minute closer. The sole question: how they’d beat Trump.
2/They could answer purely in tactics, or platitudes, but my guess is that wouldn’t work for them. So they’d have to boil down their policy message into a broad theme and a few examples.
3/There would be no commercials, just a few bathroom/makeup breaks. So it wouldn’t end exactly at 11.

Based on polling & just my general sense of the Democratic primary, I’d say Biden, Bernie, Kamala, Warren, & Buttigieg all have legit chances of capturing the nomination — and no one else has the tiniest hope.

I expect The Big Five or some such to be common parlance very soon.

#warren/#buttigieg 2020. Tell me why I'm wrong.
I was really hoping to elect a person of color, and I still have some interest in Harris. But she's getting too much heat for her prosecutor background. Besides Warren has the most policies that align with my view of America, AND she knows how to make those goals achievable!
And Buttigieg... I'm still learning about his ability to govern, but I'm continually impressed by how worldly and hella SMART he is. and he's obviously had some inside experience of oppression as a gay man from middle America.

Published AUG 2016 after #Bernie flipped and slammed Hillary … @ericgarland THREAD what we (#ProDemocracy) had been watching. America doesn’t just have a problem with #Fascist#Trumpies on Right THEY have problem at other side of political Horseshoe too tinyurl.com/y9yznpqt
2019 Update.. SO America believed about the #Trump #Fascist #RightWingers .. enough to elect a DEM house (finally after 8 yrs) and they have gone to work for #WeThePeople as @RepCummings showed the country yesterday. At their THIRD Hearing. First was Report CHILD MURDER by TRUMP
NOW it’s up to us to expose the #AltLEFT or as we #ProDemocracy centrists call it. Just the other face of the PUTIN puppet show. Remember how #Bernie has ‘always’ been nonaligned? Then said he was DEM in 2018. Don’t believe it. He is PUTINS #FallbackGuy ASK @20committee for def

Hey just a quick public service announcement.

Making the 2020 comversation about the online behavior of a candidates supporters mostly serves to move the conversation about bigger issues like policy and fitness for office.

#BERNIE THREAD /1
At the risk of sounding condescending I feel like there are 4 things we should ask in this primary.

1. What are your policies ?

2. Are you proposing them in good faith?

3. Will you be effective in implimenting them?

4. are you fit for office?

This needs unpacking...

.../2
So the hardest questions are 2-4.

Whether a politician is seen as operating in good faith is often tied to whether we think a politician is "authentic."

This shit is huuuuuuugely sexist and priveledges men over women.
