I don't think it's hard to look like you won a debate when you're given the most speaking time.

I don't think it's hard to look like you won a debate when you're given the most speaking time. Did you read it? Yglesias discusses that Bernie is actually very politically savvy. I didn’t watch the debate yet, but to me this article was less a discussion of “who one” and more of “Bernie was making smart political moves but will they be enough to overcome his weaknesses”?

Yeah, I think he and I watched separate debates. But, I get it. Matt Ygleisias is a pretty hardcore Berner so anything he writes is going to paint Bernie favorably. That's his candidate. Of course he's going to say Bernie won. I personally don't feel you win by dodging the questions and constantly pivoting away like Bernie does. From my seat, Klobuchar had the much better night.

Not to harp on Bernie, but re-watching footage from last night, he looked every bit the old man. Maybe that's terribly ageist of me, but that does not inspire any amount of confidence that he can handle the rigors of the presidency.
Frankly,the only ones that didn't look rough last night were Klobuchar, Buttigieg, and Yang.

I’m hearing good things about Klobuchar’s performance and wonder if that translates into votes for her! I think Biden dropping out would be a huge favor but don’t see that happening in time.

Amy has definitely grown on me lately. She has really improved in the debates, has a clear message, a great voting record, and she hasn't made any major gaffes.

I thought that’s where you were dc2london...I remembered seeing you in the Disney question thread on GD. I’m so jealous! We’re not going until December. Glad you got a break but also glad to have you back!

I feel like I don’t need perfection but just be non problematic for BIPOC and LGBTQ+. I’m sad that it seems that’s to much to ask in this field. Exactly this. It should absolutely not be too much to ask.

Welcome back dc2london! I leave in 3wks for my own week at Disney/break from politics. Except Super Tuesday falls in the middle of that week so I'll have to make an exception to check on those results.

Except Super Tuesday falls in the middle of that week so I'll have to make an exception to check on those results. I stopped to watch the Senate votes on conviction bc we happened to be on a pool break and also, history. And I caught the 3 minutes of Monday night coverage needed to know that Iowa is fired. I deleted Twitter off of my phone for the week, I didn't read the papers, I watched/listened to no news. It was a good breather.

Lol.

It seemed reasonable at the time. Lol.

I had a dream last night that Amy hit a big surge and was actually a seriously viable contender in the primaries. I'd like that to be true. Also, I think I need a politics breaks. Clearly my brain is saturated.
