How dare these others people have plans. Am I right?

No, you have to have plans. Nobody is saying that you don't. But American politics is won on passion.

Trump didn't win on plans, he won on "Make America Great Again."

Obama was a Ivy League grad and Law professor. But he didn't win on that. He won on "HOPE/CHANGE."

When was the last time a wonk won the Presidency?

You have got to have that human component. You have got to tug at people's heart strings and the things that keep them up at night. Some candidates are close, but if Williamson has one impact on this primary, I hope it's that truly viable candidates realize that you have got to touch people.

Hierophant · Jul 30, 2019

Republican conscience hahaha

TheSkullPrince · Jul 30, 2019

Republicans are beyond saving

ChrisBliss117 · Jul 30, 2019

Sanders and Warren destroyed. See ya later everyone else.

Beefsquid · Jul 30, 2019

Republicans never had a conscience

Beto's strategy is basically the off chance that Texas turns blue

Beto's strategy is to get on a ticket as the VP.

I thought about writing that but I didn't want to sound too dramatic

Sure, there will be survivors but the fact that, right now, so many are going to be killed off within the next 100 years is something to absolutely avoid.

Sordid Plebeian · Jul 30, 2019

Delaney had a good night tonight when it comes to being a potential moderate figure, not that I agree with his positions.

peyrin · Jul 30, 2019

sanders and warren tag team is everything I wanted and more. hell yeah

too bad tomorrow is copmala and biden

Can't wait for this field to get sliced down significantly. This was another farce tonight, only Bernie and Warren were saying anything worth listening to yet agaib.

Yep. Let's get this thing parsed down to the 8 or so like yesterday. What a joke. Moderation was bad but it suffered more for having this format of 20 candidates.

Odrion · Jul 30, 2019

I'm willing to donate to Marianne's campaign if it keeps her running longer than these other goddamn dickheads.

What did he not give an "honest answer" to? Your arguing in bad faith by default by automatically assuming that people have to hide actual concerns with M4A when such things are not the case

He refused to say that taxes would have to be raised for the middle class to pay for M4A. What else is refusing to answer the question, and screaming "republican talking points," but hiding from actual concerns. That is not being honest.

Ashodin · Jul 30, 2019

WOW straight up dunking on Trump

They are irrational and heartless, so of course they never had a conscience.

Lmao how can you say you're the only one talking about curing disease after Marianne just went

Lol I wonder how long he spent crafting his closing statement, only to have Marriane one up him. And following her fervor, he came across as even more dull and insincere than before.

Forever love how Bernie just comes out and says it

sadly, tomorrow copmala will get all the spotlight and today will be mostly forgotten. Having night 1 instead of night 2 is a disadvantage.

FreezePeach · Jul 30, 2019

is there a replay link anywhere? i completely forgot.

Dude she's anti-vaccine and has a bunch of other deranged views. I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Robin · Jul 30, 2019

Is there seriously no way for me to tune in from the beginning until tomorrow?

Ashodin · Jul 30, 2019

Bernie and Warren killed it

JABEE · Jul 30, 2019

BERNIE KILLED.

He won the night.

Warren also did well.

This proves he is up for debates. Great result.

He refused to say that even though he's said that countless times? in addition to the fact that co pays, deductibles and all of the private corporate taxes paid would disappear thus net saving people money? I'm sorry, but your making a weird argument trying to act like its some secretive thing he's hiding when that could not be further from the truth.

THe issue is that it is a republican talking point to cry about taxes taxes taxes without actually talking about the benefits. Its a mere deflection.

Gyro Zeppeli · Jul 30, 2019

Bernie got the biggest pop in the audience. He usually does.

She had one or two good opinions. So what? I'm sure you could find even Tulsi does that that doesn't mean they're good candidates.

Fat4all · Jul 30, 2019

Warren and Sanders back to back was basically a ticket stump speach

BADMAN · Jul 30, 2019

Debate winners
1. Marianne Williamson - Did exactly what she needed to do tonight and likely dug her way out of the 1% polling tonight to make it to the next debate
2. Bernie Sanders - Showed some fucking fire tonight, reminded people why he's in the top 3
3. Elizabeth Warren - Same as Sanders, just not quite as firey
4. Buttigeig - He did fine. A couple of good responses.

Everyone else go home.

SweetNicole · Jul 30, 2019

Warren
Bernie
Pete

PhaZe 5 · Jul 30, 2019

Thought that was a pretty good debate.

Huncho_Houdini · Jul 30, 2019

Bernie and Warren won.

Buttigieg did alright as well.

3rd tier was Delaney and Beto.

Marianne remains insane but entertaining.

Blue Skies · Jul 30, 2019

Beto had a way better debate than last time
So did Bernie
Pete and Warren did about the same

Everyone else is trash, get out of the race.

hitme · Jul 30, 2019

Cheating here, but Warren+Bernie combo fucking murdered tonight.

Fat4all · Jul 30, 2019

Marianne will get a bigger bump than Delaney

The winners here were the progressive wing of the party. Bernie and Warren defended their polices and showed why they're the way forward.

Thorn · Jul 30, 2019

How people like Marianne is beyond me.

Bernie's telemundo appearance in 2016 against Hillary also showed this
