Called it. These candidates are so incompetent. #DemDebate
What was Biden doing? He’s being surpassed by Sanders and instead is busy attacking Bloomberg. And the attacks don’t even land because all Bloomberg has to do to counter Biden’s claims that he didn’t do much is point to Biden’s own previous praise of Bloomberg.
Biden's whole strategy appears yelling that he is responsible for all accomplishments and attacking Bloomberg, which is basically playing for second place.

People who cite places like Denmark to defend Bernie’s M4A proposal are conceding they don’t know much about his healthcare plan or much about the systems in the places they are comparing with.

To compare:
Denmark has one of the highest tax rates in the world. Average Dane pays over 45%. That’s how they afford their system. Even a similar system would mean a huge tax hike for nearly every American.
Denmark’s system is very localized. It’s managed at a regional and local level, not federal. M4A would be exact opposite.

Denmark allows supplementary private insurance. Bernie’s M4A plan notably bans it.

Soviet leaders used to also talk about how people in America were dying in the street while Soviets had free care.

In reality: Americans had immediate access to best care in the world while Soviets had to bribe your way to see a doctor in any reasonable amount of time.
But those living in the USSR had no idea what they were missing out on. They thought bribing doctors to come to your house was the norm and Americans were suffering.

Understandable they would buy into the propaganda about our system, but what excuse do Americans have?
The thing about socialism is you get the financial ruin (just evenly distributed) and you get shitty healthcare. In America, you get the best healthcare in the world, but it’s sometimes exceedingly expensive. Imagine knowing that and still choosing the former.

Btw the schmucks who spent the last 2 years loudly declaring they will support any Dem should think about the incentives they created. As was always obvious, they removed any incentive for Dems to moderate or appeal to anyone but the extreme base.
Most actual Trump-skeptical conservatives recognized that their principles didn't only apply to Trump and that they might require them to oppose some potential Dems, but those grifters were too scared to alienate their new resistance audience to maintain any principles.
And now we might be put in a position where the choice becomes Trump or a radical lifelong marxist who wants to completely destroy the American economy while also putting actual bigots in positions of influence.

And they already committed to supporting that guy. Schmucks.

Welcome to the ninth #DemDebate live tweet! If you are too depressed by democracy to stand this, now would be a good time to mute me for 24 hours.
Appearing tonight:
- Pete Buttigieg 😒
- Bernie Sanders 😕
- Elizabeth Warren 😁
- Amy Klobuchar ☹️
- Joe Biden 🤢
- Mike Bloomberg 🤮

Yang dropped out and Steyer did not qualify.
The pre-debate hosts have already talked about Klobuchar's "momentum" and Bloomberg's "appeal to moderates" and somebody has said "what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas" and it's a good thing I don't drink because I would already be dead.

Sanders: "Donald Trump lies all the time." That's why no one should believe him when he attaches the socialist label to Democrats.

Sanders showed how he would respond to Donald Trump's scaremongering on socialism in speech in 2019:
medium.com/@kevin_33184/b… #DemDebate
Biden said, "President Trump wants to stick a [socialist] label on every candidate." He thinks Trump will attach this label to all down-ballot Democratic candidates and that would be bad. #DemDebate
Steyer echoes Bernie. He doesn't promote this idea that "socialist" label will be bad. Turnout must be increased substantially to beat Trump. #DemDebate

Palmer Report is live-tweeting the #DemDebate in the replies to this tweet, starting right now. Join us.
Here we go. Twelve people on stage together for no apparent reason. Beats having to do this two nights in a row.
To give you an idea of how many of these people should have already dropped out, Andrew Yang – who has literally zero chance at the nomination - is polling in sixth place. Everyone below him is just delaying the inevitable.

The #DemDebate starts on CNN and cnn.com in 30 minutes. Tonight is Debate 2 Night 1: Delaney, Williamson, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, O’Rourke, Klobuchar, Hickenlooper, Ryan and (for the first time) Bullock - replacing Swalwell.
A lot of the press and pundits have expressed a lot of interest in two match-ups: Sanders vs. Warren and O’Rourke vs Buttigieg. Williamson is perceived to be doing her own thing and Bullock hasn’t been in these debates but the rest are perceived to compete for the centrist lane.
In the previous debate Klobuchar did much more poorly than I expected and Tim Ryan did better than expected, so I’ll be especially interested in how each of them perform - though moreso with an eye towards a VP slot than a POTUS one, unless polling changes.
