Do I like yang because he’s sharp and quick witted or because he’s able to pin point the issues using hard data?
Yang seems to be the only one that understands the transformation we are going through. Biden is still the worst, both because he is borderline senile, and he because he doesn't understand how M4A will cost less than what we have now. At the end of the day, all 7 of them would probably be great Presidents. Which one of them wins doesn't matter nearly as much as taking the Senate and having the balls to nuke the filibuster if they don't have 60.

Crazy, could it be that he isn't a politician and actually comes from a business-based background?

Overall I thought it was a good debate with no real losers and a debatable winner. Even though it was obvious that Pete was the target, he handled himself.

I'm still not seeing anyone proving they are a way stronger candidate than Biden.

At least I didn't have to suffer any Tulsi Fucking Gabbard today tho. 👍

To be fair though, Biden hasn’t proven, at least debate wise, why he’s a stronger candidate than anyone else.

Do you fall over and hit your head on a daily basis?

First it was 10%, now you're saying that I said 1%, which is it sugar tits?
Nice try!! maybe you should go back to your handlers and they can send you back with newer fud!!
That FRree stuff mantra is the mantra of Trumpsters who have no clue and use scare tactics to get voters.....pathetic

He doesn't need to win debates, just do good enough.

It's been his best debate so far. Not brilliant, but good enough.

Otherwise he's known, experienced, and proven in the wh. Not everyone is looking for the most progressive polices.

Outside of the debates you are right...so far.

FREE STUFF FREE STUFF.


"Sir, how will we pay for it?"

"THE RICH WILL PAY FOR IT! "

"But Sir, according to our thorough calculations, even if you taxed the rich at 100% you still wouldn't have enough"

".... So... We will tax the rich MORE!"

Trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, and hardly a voice of caution to be heard

But a-ok if the Chinese are funding free tax cut money and all the new military toys huh?

Sanders doesn't hold the monopoly on sanctimonious bullshit I see.

I'm tired of Klobuchar. She was annoying tonight.

"Pete can't win elections. I'm a winner tho! Pick me!"

-checks polls. Pete #1 in IA, Amy 18pts behind.

Lol

That doesn't mean shit considering the government is not supposed to be a business.
His gift isn't that he's business man, in my opinion, but an out of the box analytical thinker focused on solving problems. He is unconstrained by brainwashing and conventional thinking. He has real genius, again in my opinion.

Christ - this is a fucking joke. Debates are such a crock of shit.

"Who would you forgive or give a gift to on this panel"....

Wow. Just wow. Can we increase the minimum IQ level for panelists to ask questions?
I'll agree with you here. I hate the "let's end on a happy note" questions.

It's not that many, and many were ruled correct.

They were all ruled correct with one saying Bernie was a little imprecise. That’s pretty fucking amazing in my opinion, a debate where the candidates were actually factual. What a breath of fresh air from the alternative facts we got from the impeachment hearings.

Was able to watch some clips of it afterwards. Klobuchar really got some digs in on Buttigieg. He responded pretty well, but the dig was too deep to remove entirely. Klobuchar may get some boost from this debate. She's very smart, and a better campaigner than she's been given credit for.

She also has the best argument of all of them for why she has the best chance to beat Trump.

You see that brain pattern? That is exactly your problem.

I watched the whole debate, well worth it.

Look, someone please answer. Occasionally very lately I've had this problem. I can't hit Anandtech Forum pages without doing a Captcha thing verifying I'm not a robot. WTF. Today, it's worse. Once verified if I go to a different page in these forums, change forum, whatever, I have to do that danged thing again. WTF is going on and how do I stop this BS?

Even staying in this same thread I've had to do a Captcha suspicious activity I'm not a robot verfication several times. WTF do I have to do to stop this??? I never had this happen before a week ago.

It was a tough question, put people on the spot, obviously. They handled it well, every one, but had to think. Anyway, it wasn't that bad a question, but was a fuzzy dumb curveball. Kind of like the one when Trump and Hillary Clinton were asked, what positive thing can you say about your opponent? I remember her answer, not his.
