Just woke up from a 2 hour nap, so I guess I am as ready as I am going to be for night 2 of the #DemDebate.

If I'm lucky, I overslept Jake Tapper's segment.
Just as bad, I turned on just in time for Biden.
Good: putting the question on screen during answers

Bad: having stupid wording on the questions you asked in the first place

A protester began shouting as de Blasio neared the end of his opening statement; the protest appears to have ended.
"Go easy on me, kid," Biden says with a smile to Harris as they embrace ahead of the #DemDebate tonight.

The #DemDebate is starting any minute now. I'll be live-tweeting again.
You know where I'm at for this #DemDebate: @KamalaHarris is my favorite. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing many of the other candidates, too, particularly Castro, Booker and Gillibrand.

Hopefully Gabbard drops out after tonight.
@KamalaHarris It's 5:12 and we just go to the first commercial break... before the opening statements.

So, I’m working with a client today to conduct a focus group of black women who are likely to vote in the South Carolina Democratic Presidential primary. I have the client’s permission to tweet out anecdotes and observations, but they’d prefer not to be named.
We will be asking voters their opinions about individual candidates, showing them short clips, and asking them their thoughts on potential negative messages. We won’t be doing much horse race stuff but hopefully we’ll still get some good insights. Follow along/mute as you see fit
After showing participants some of Elizabeth Warren’s speech one woman’s response was: “I hate this rigged stuff. People like her act like this rigging started in 1990 instead of 1680.” Lots of nods in agreement. Some laughs.
