    The simple reality is that they shouldn't let this many people be on stage.

    I'm well versed on what happened in the Midwest in 2016. Turnout was down for Dems all throughout the Midwest, and the number of Obama-Trump swaps was abnormally high. You are pinning everything on the black vote, it's very strange of you.

    The biggest winner tonight was Donald Trump.

    He got to eat his KFC mashed potatoes in bed, fart, troll pornhub and watch a bunch of not ready for prime time candidates crash and burn. I’m sure Trump was able to throw a couple of Mexican slurs out as well and likely made reference to the sexuality of one of the candidates a number of times.

    No sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. My point is that you need all of those votes to come back and I think if you go Mayor Pete that the black portion won't.

    The explanations are not mutually exclusive. MSNBC has had it out for Yang. This was expected.

    Sure, I already said he's the Democratic Ron Paul. At least the moderators didn't call him a traitor.

    My argument to you is that the black vote can be supplemented with increased non-black turnout. Especially with a popular, charismatic guy from the Midwest. All the Democrats have to do to take back the Midwest is not completely **** their pants, which I can't see Pete doing.

    Exactly, he's not. But he's a firestarter like Stephen A Smith, he's going to be loud and bombastic. He's black and white, tonight everyone was grey, open boarders ,health care for undocumented immigrants and no deportations? He'll eat them alive

    Because of the racism happening in his own city. There is a whole racial discrimination controversy in the police department in South Bend. The way he has handled the whole thing has been super poor. You have people yelling at him whenever he goes back.

    Look, life as a concern troll is just bottomless, endless loss.

    Poor @Outlier he can't help but despair always. He needs some Marianne Williamson counseling.

    Trump is a GREAT debater, just not in the classical sense. He's amusing, he's entertaining, he doesn't backdown, he flip flops with no care, he gaslights, he bigfoots his opponent, he has no intimidation, he understands he can make stuff up about difficult topics and nobody will no the difference...

    These debates were so messy.

    Can’t wait for the race to shrink down to about 5 people


    That 5 will probably be

    Bernie
    Biden
    Harris
    Pete
    Warren

    Dark horse Castro

    Trump isn't a great debater. He's a greater ****-talker and entertainer. Debate is a bit more nuanced.

    The Democrats need someone who is the kind of person who would not be afraid to call him a lying fat b*stard to his face.

    Only reason he's less than Delaney, Inslee and Gabbard from last night is because unlike them he didn't force his way into the conversations.

    Yeah I said not a great debater in the classical sense. He's a great debater in the American entertainment sense.

    Yang said at the fundraiser I went to last week that he would have no problem "just butting in and talking over everyone" if it came down to that. I didn't see him even attempt that tonight. Yikes. Gonna have to work on that.

    He literally sat their politely waiting to be called on. I mean I respect that he tried to follow the rules.

    I didn’t start with the personal attacks. That’s been going on for several pages by various posters asserting Im a liar but I see your chastisement is only reserved for me. Big shocker.
