Tom Perez as a warm up act for New Hampshire Democratic Debate was quite pathetic.
Amy Klobuchar is looking much more confident than ever in the past debates. I think she has decided she has to play for a running mate spot, and it relieves her of some of the pressure.
Pete Buttigieg is going for Bernie's jugular on Bernie's home turf.
Joe Biden already conceded New Hampshire to Bernie Sanders, because Joe said Bernie won New Hampshire by 20 points last time around. Biden doesn't seem to have much will to win.
Where was this Klobuchar hiding till today. If she had been speaking as confidently as she is today, she would be among the top 3. Better late than never.
Bernie: There is only one question we have to ask: "Why is it that we pay the highest prices in the world in the U.S. for healthcare?"
Bernie, I will believe you're not just demagoguing when you also ask the same question for education, otherwise you are just trolling for votes.

Having miserably lost the impeachment charade in the Senate and in the court of public opinion (Trump's approval steadily rose all through impeachment), these Dem candidates are now re-litigating the case on New Hampshire debate stage. Sure, that's the ticket!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Bernie is now bragging about making the largest number of amendments to bills in Congress. That's a nice way to hide the fact that Bernie has spent 30 fricking years without a single significant bill to his name. His is purely an accomplishment free career.
Democrats on the stage are now mourning hard for Soleimani. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Tom Steyer was asked what makes him think he will make a great Commander-in-Chief.
His answer: Climate change!
His answer: Climate change!
Not to be outdone, Bernie chimed in forcefully that we should melt all our weapons of war and use the resulting goo to fight climate change.
Pete Buttigieg was asked about his policy position on decriminalizing all drug related crimes. His answer and clarification was very good. He said his position is narrow and simply this: "no incarceration for possession."
Joe Biden: I will have a litmus test for judges. Every judge I appoint will have to believe there are unenumerated rights in the Constitution. If there are no unenumerated rights in the Constitution, then I cannot have any of the things I care about.
Tom Steyer is livid that we have come this far in the debate and we have not talked about race, and we have blacks, and latinos, and ...
I guess he was desperate to talk about race because you know race ... race ... for crying out loud ... race!

Everyone is talking about race now. Hallelujah!
Tom Steyer is now pulling hard for reparations.
Bernie: We have a racist society from top to bottom.
Elizabeth Warren is pushing hard for her unconstitutional wealth tax. Ain't gonna happen.
Bernie just made a big show of raising campaign contributions not from those who have a surplus of riches, but from those who have very little.
This guy has lived all his life by siphoning money from those who have very little. What a shameful existence!

Amy Klobuchar's was the best closing statement today. She should do better in New Hampshire than she did in Iowa. I don't think Pete Buttigieg will do as well.
Forgot to mention Yang. He made some good points. He is an affable fellow, not unhinged at all. For that reason alone, he will go nowhere in the Democratic party of today. He has been an also-ran till date. He will continue to be. I wish him well in his future endeavors.
