Just saw a clip on NYT, I don’t like Castro at all. If the Dems elect him it’ll be Trump for four more years.

Nope. Haven't liked him so far, and this debate he was just being a dick.

There's a reason he's at the end of the stage. He now just needs to move all the way off.

Fk. Biden just said parents should put on the record player for their their kids at night... in a question something about reparations or something

This comment/moment from Biden is blowing up post debate.

He had some good moments, and some terrible moments. His lead will be cracking

I don't know... it seems like the Democratic party machine is backing Biden. It looks like we might be getting a battle for which old white guy who says stupid things while on camera will be leading America in the early 2020's :)

Reparations, basic income, free health care, free schooling, decriminalized unenforced borders, student loan forgiveness, etc. Buy those votes Democrats!

I agree with Biden on what he said about national debt and how Bernie and other promise all sorts of things but can’t pay for it. He’s right. Way too many empty promises, he’s at least being realistic.

I rather increase our debt to help the less fortunate and those in need in our country than increase the debt to make the rich richer and increase the gaping chasm between the 1% and the everyone else.

The Democratic party machine needs to fuck off, it already royally fucked this country during the last election and pissed off a shit ton of people.

Yes, we could fund a number of the promises made last night simply by reversing the Trump tax cuts on the ultra rich. They've been a total failure anyway so nothing of value would be lost.

The more I hear from Bernie the less I like him. I believe he and Biden to be just too effing old. The country needs new blood and new ideas, not a recycled old Republican in liberal clothing. As it sits right now the females look like the best candidates to me. I'd take Warren and her VP Mayor Pete in a heart beat. In fact the whole group right now would form the basis of a government 100 times better than what we have now.

This is what we have to keep in mind. While I have a preferred winner literally anyone on that stage would be a night and day improvement.

We have to remember that the most important thing right now is ending the national emergency where we have a mentally ill criminal in the White House. Everything else pales in comparison. That means people can't pout like the Bernie people in 2016 if their person doesn't win - everyone has to back Team Not A Criminal.

The same as recent presidents before him.

So to be clear, you are ok with the tippy top, of which you do not belong, getting handouts but not normal people, which you are one (barf).

I've said it before, I'll say it again, you are one dumb mother fucker!

"How do we pay for healthcare!?"
Says the only developed nation that cannot pay for healthcare.

Anyone noticing an American theme here? We have become a nation of "can not" and "do not" when it comes to the well being and prosperity of our people.

The question that those in power are actually asking isn't "How do we pay for healthcare?" but "How do we pay for healthcare without me losing my rich tax cuts and bonuses that keeps me at the 1%?" Politicians who keep screaming about how to pay for healthcare are in the pockets of the 1% or are in the 1%.

Didn’t watch much, I’ll be honest. I’m not so excited by Joes healthcare outline. I am willing to wait to see more detail.

Castro is probably the most dishonest individual I've ever heard.

Didn’t hear what he had to say. Was it build a wall that Mexico will be happy to pay for?
or
Healthcare that is cheaper, has better coverage, lower deductibles for everyone, choose any doctor and nobody dies on the street?
or
He has a secret plan to defeat ISIS and bring peace to the Middle East?

How could he? Obama already took all our guns.

How does someone like Beto who wants to seize guns get elected in Texas of all places??

His campaign even printed up t-shirts for the occasion. Someone is probably going to get shot for wearing one of those shirts in Texas :)

haha yeah, and replacing them with the DMV.

No, replacing them with Medicare, which runs very well and of which people seem to have very few complaints. Why did you just purposefully swap the known government agency which the candidates are saying will provide insurance for a state agency that has nothing to do with medical insurance that everyone complains about?
