Yep. I do think she gets a bit flustered in more of a debate format but hopefully she can iron that out.
I really want to apologize for the ally Pete comment. I was trying to set him up to be dunked on because I figured he was bad on all civil rights matters, but that was a terrible assumption and really rude of me to ask, especially to gay people. I respect you all so much for fighting the good fight and I'm very sorry.
I'm an odd one.
My ranking:
1) Warren
2) Klo
3) Harris
4) Buttigieg
5) Booker
Warren was amazing, really not much to say other than that. Just a solid performance.
Klobuchar started out a dud. But I literally said to a friend I was watching with "Damn...Klobuchar is really good at the 'Baptist Buildup'" on her final answer. The way she brushed off the heckling, embraced and connected with audience member who submitted the question (then asked him to stay on stage, a smart way to check the hecklers). And then she showed real, emotional resonance in her answer. She paused in all the right places, guided the audience along with her, built in intensity toward the end, and then left the audience fired up. It was a very "church" moment of the type Obama (and well, most black Baptist pastors) is really good at. In the game of politics, it was a masterful play. Go Klo.
I ranked Harris slightly above Buttigieg because I stan her and hate him. Actually, the real answer is in lieu of actual policy talk, I was expecting Buttigieg to at least give us the emotionally resonant moment Klobuchar did. Instead, he sort of rambled his way through a lot of feel-good platitudes. So Harris beats him out just on her ability to point to her record of actual achievement for LGBTQ people. Even if she stammered a bit...a lot.
Don't care enough about the rest to have thoughts. Booker could really sense the thirst in the guy asking him questions and really leaned into it. That was hot.

The two did not interact publicly, but Harris was directly asked by her interviewer about her transgressions
(her response, as i recall, amounted to "i was just following the official policies")
I didn't watch it because I was working, but it looks like Warren was really over as fuck at the forum, right?
Yes. The moderator literally said, we're gonna start trending higher when she came out. lol
For me, Pete connected HARD with the blood donation thing. That is something no one else on that stage has even an inkling of understanding about.
The amount of money and business the Saudi's and kushner must have together... oooh baby, I'm sure it'll be a scandal 10 years from now
I just dont think you can beat this tweet this year. Like... I'm nearly weeping at how wholesome it is. This woman with be a legendary icon for generations
Selzer isn't coming until 7PM CST on Saturday. Lmao she's about to break political twitter for an entire weekend.
It lasted for almost two straight weeks and the tornado never got any blame
LMAO. It's sad I used to go by Nate through middle school.
I'm happy she did well as I don't know her background with the LGBTQ community and it's promising more of the candidates are able to speak on these issues without putting their feet in their mouths. Outside of Bernie, I don't really root against any of the candidates at these forums.
I also like her because I dare Trump to be sexist/chauvinistic to her. She terrifies me.
I think pretty much everyone who likes him does for superficial reasons. He'd be a young, cool, hip black president, like Obama! He is absolutely trying to invoke Obama 2.0 to appeal to the base.
Obviously that's not working, but Booker is also way more blatantly corporatist than Obama was, even complaining about Obama's attacks on Romney over his time at Bain Capital in 2012. I'm not one to really question someone's stated views, I think politicians usually are genuine in what they run on (the problem is usually more systemic than simply "oh they didn't try hard enough/they were lying about supporting xyz") but every time Booker signs onto a progressive bill (like M4A) it just feels like he's ticking a box.
who did the deep state hit. i've seen people grousing about how harris's record re: trans people in prison was handled differently than warren's record re: trans people in prison, but is the belief that the deep state is trying to sink harris.
Everyone is terrified of Amy.
It's Klobberin' Time!
Will St Birdie be going to the steak fry lol.

Booker is a cool dude, we'll, the persona he gives off in the debates is interesting, he comes off as this peace loving pacifist, and I like him for that.
Now, as far as his Wall Street ties go, that's another convo.
America is a top heavy wealth nation and it would be ridiculous to think that one party can beat a wealthy party without tapping into large funds.

So the NYT is trying to say there is a scandal in something they debunked and that Rudy's problem is that he's undermining the story as being a partisan hit job. It amazes me how Trump has finessed the NYT for years.
In this case, less finessing and more Ken Vogel is actively a steaming pile of shit and has been since he started at Politico
I've known a few vegans in my life, and all but two have been awful people. The foodie version of Evangelical Christians. :/
Tbh it was easy to tell when candidates were actually making an effort during the lgbt forum
Booker did a great mix up of actual policies + his own personal story
Hes gone from "meh" to "eh" in my personal rankings
Sestak was kind of embarassing. Marianne was Marianne.
Castro had the bad luck of going after Warren

marianne spoke about psychic battles and spent a lot of time talking about her AIDS activism in the 90s + the need for the united states to take in lgbtq asylum seekers
