DeBlasio: "We will tax the hell out of the wealthy!" and someone from the crowd screams over his closing lines, anyone keeping an eye on Bloomberg these days
#DemDebate

Bennet is a powerful muscle relaxant
#DemDebate

I like Inslee, but he wants to be "big" and "bold" and...I guess he's big? Running for Energy Secretary
#DemDebate

The one thing I would really relish about a Gillibrand Presidency is seeing @IMKristenBell on @nbcsnl cold opens all the time
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Gabbard, I got nothing
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Castro is eyebrow goals
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl ANDREW YANG IS ALL OF US*

(*who are named Yang and are Asian and like math)
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl What is happening during Booker's opening statement

<unclear shouting>
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Someone fix Kamala's mic please
Or help her out of the bottom of the well she's trapped in
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl I appreciate Joe Biden saying America is "strong and great because of our diversity," and his forthcoming endorsement of a woman and/or person of color as president
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl These sparks between Biden-Harris are rom-com real
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl (I don't think either of them are setting the world on fire debatewise though.)
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Uh...I think Joe knows who Kathleen Sebelius is, Kamala
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Really waiting for one of the moderators to just straight up ask DeBlasio "When are you going to fix the damn subways, Mayor"

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Gabbard: We don't have a HEALTHcare system, we have a SICKcare system. AMERICA'S HEALTHY PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING THE CARE THEY NEED

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl I love how Harris's response to Gabbard is basically, you're wrong girl, sit down, now let me talk to Joe

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl guys Bennet got his microdosing way wrong tonight

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Finally they bring Andrew Yang in, and he gets cheers for his businessperson's take on healthcare. He's got fans in the room — he's spent a lot of time in Detroit.

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl I don't know many things but I do know I don't want to watch another debate with Bill DeBlasio in it

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl And finally, Joe has his dander up. He drops the M word — MALARKEY

Plenty to be proud of in Obamacare, but why be proud of the past instead of moving toward the future?

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Everyone is talking about math, y'all know Andrew Yang is secretly in control of this debate, I predict a 10 point lift

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl It feels like Bennet has been talking more than anyone in this debate, but I think he's only actually spoken a total of about two dozen very widely spaced words

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl Can we please petition Jim Cameron to insert an @AndrewYang cameo in the next Terminator movie

<Yang, as a swarm of drones descend: I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO>

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang WOW, first Harris, now DeBlasio, everyone is just straight up telling Tulsi to go to her room and stay out of the adult conversation

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Did...did Booker just say "Shithole countries" on live air?

<after the debate, Booker finds his podium moved to the corner of the stage facing backwards>

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Booker going right at Biden—telling him to step back, then the "dippin' into the Kool-Aid, you don't even know the flavor" line. Joe doesn't have a comeback.

Every time Joe is at a loss in one of these exchanges, it makes him look less ready to go up against Trump.
#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Biden trying to backdoor an implied endorsement from Obama—"at least Barack likes me—and it's not playing well.

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang This debate is actually getting kind of nasty. Even the Mods vs Progs debate from last night didn't feel as...personal as what we're seeing tonight.

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Tulsi is doing to Kamala what Kamala did to Joe.

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang He's at the top of my chart right now

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang To his credit Inslee is better at speaking the measured language of a sincere ally than any of the other white people running for president

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Andrew Yang is asked how he's going to heal America's racial divide, and his answer is: LET US REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY, FELLOW CITIZENS, AND IT IS THE ROBOTS

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang If Julian Castro isn't the Democratic candidate he can always accept the nomination of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Gillibrand: The first thing I'm going to do when I'm president, is Clorox the Oval Office.

Line of the night, but also: Gross

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang Castro: Let's all thank Barack Obama! THANK YOU BARACK OBAMA!
Biden:

#DemDebate

@IMKristenBell @nbcsnl @AndrewYang It now feels like Biden and Harris are clenched in a death grip and being swept over a waterfall together

#DemDebate

Damn @JulianCastro dropped a “#MoscowMitch”

I will say that he’s the only candidate speaking sensibly and vocally about impeachment on this stage.
#DemDebate
