    I was coming here to post this. Yang did not even get 3 minutes. It was actually 2:56. Ridiculous.

    I can't even put into words how unfair this setup is. Give them somewhat equal time ugggghhhh. This whole system is antiquated to the point that I don't even know what to say. Thankful for the internet.

    And as I told you months ago @MojoMan Biden doesn't have a damn chance.

    I don't know why they don't keep a running tab on time and give rebuttals to those who need to make up timegaps.

    Kamalla might get some traction but she just comes off like a school principal and does not cross the likable threshold.

    Not exactly fair but its the reality.

    Biden and Warren will file it out but I don't know who takes that 3rd spot, thought Klobachar would have more traction.

    Biden will take a hit on the busing issue but Harris will not gain a lot of traction with it IMO.

    Because a black person was killed by police.

    Not joking. That’s why people think “he does not have the black vote”.

    Not this guy. As soon as he announced his sexuality was talked about as an issue with black people. I know democrats don't like to go down this road but it's his biggest issue.

    Why would they have it out for a candidate that's polling at 1%.

    He has to register for anybody to care about him.

    Also he sure has been on a lot for them to hate him.

    Nobody who gets the nomination will be advocating for that in a debate with Trump.

    And Trump is not going to fill anybody else with his Stephen A Smith imitation anymore.

    My thoughts, not based on who I support (Bernie/Warren full disclosure) but just on who seemed to do well:

    Kamala Killed it
    Pete talked good without saying much, props.
    Biden squirmed
    Bernie stumbled.
    Marianne was shooting coke in the breaks.
    Yang took a nap.

    And then there some pasty white guys who I can't remember lol

    If he got his poll numbers above double digits he would get more time.I

    The fact that he is on the stage to begin with is more than fair.

    Did he seem sick to you? He sounded a little congested and at least once coughed while the camera was panning. Could explain his lack of speaking.

    nope nope nope. poll numbers should have nothing to do with it. if the person is on the stage they should all get adequate time to talk and give their opinion on different subjects. Hell 20% of the time someone is talking they are being interrupted by a moderator.

    The setup is not good and as I said is antiquated.

    Biden stood by the Obama deportation policy. He has a centrist idea for immigration and health care (which means no free healthcare for northern Mexico residents, etc).

    He'll just smile his way through Trump's bombastic attacks and name calling - he has enough charm for that.

    Mayor Pete is too general so far with his "new generation" ideas, but if Burners will like his more centrist (than Bernie) ideas he might stand a chance. Too bad for his untimely gun violence issue - totally his fault though - he defended it poorly too.

    You're right. If you don't have enough time and can't have a more normal conversation without interrupting each other.
