    Care to elaborate? Dude didn't hardly get to speak, and what he did say was nothing that deviated from his platform.

    Hes smart but he doesnt the voice to command a room. I cant imagine this guy giving a presidential speech at all. And hes too much about economics and barely knows anything about other issues. He legit feels fixing the economy will fix everything else.

    Black vote is important in Michigan and Pennsylvania as well.

    The low turnout in those states where big reason trump won.

    OK, when you said "lost my support" I thought you meant you actually supported him before this and were familiar with him. Confusion cleared up.

    Why exactly does Buttigieg not have the black vote? I thought he gave a great answer to the cop situation tonight

    Mayor Pete has been having a big problem with the way he handled a race related incident in South Bend. There has been a lot of controversy. It looks like it may be a mortal wound with the Black community.

    Seriously I'm wondering if Donny is in denial or just doesn't remember?

    Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were lost in large part because the black vote in Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia didn't reach the levels it was supposed to.

    He was at 0% of the black democratic vote before that incident.

    Separate chances to speak in tonight's debate (30 seconds or longer):
    Biden: 13
    Sanders: 12
    Harris: 10
    Buttigieg: 10
    Gillibrand: 8
    Bennet: 6
    Swalwell: 6
    Williamson: 5
    Hickenlooper: 5
    Yang: 3


    The freezeout of Yang was intentional. He'll keep rising though. Can't hold the people's champ down.

    As unlikely as it may seem, he may have actually gone down below that afterwards.

    a star was born


    Kamala Harris made her opponents look like squabbling children
    With a “food fight” joke, she came off as the adult in the room

    the Thur debate featured a lot of interrupting / squabblng. But Sen. Kamala Harris cut through the noise.
    Then Harris got the conversation back on track.

    “America does not want a food fight,” she said of her squabbling opponents,
    “they want to know how we’ll put food on their table.”

    The moment got a cheer from the audience. It was a chance for Harris to show leadership in a crowded field — and on a loud, crowded debate stage.
