Random thoughts for both nights:
-Donald Trump won here with how some of the immigration questions were posed. And I say that as someone who would vote for any of the 20 over him. There has to be some middle on this issue.
-I'm not sure if either debate changed the narrative of the race too much, mostly due to the format.
-Biden looks frail compared to just a few years ago. It sort of looked like he didn't want to be there. How many times did he say "oh my times up." And it didn't come off as doing it out of respect, it came off as he was rambling, didn't know where he was going so it was an easy excuse to stop talking. That's the last thing I want to see in someone going against Trump.
-Sanders says the same thing over and over which I think is going to hurt him in the end. His speech feels like old news by now and if he couldn't get it last time by being the one alternative to the frontrunner, I'm not sure how he'll even come close this time.
-Harris is the overall winner of both nights. I was always so-so on her but she has my interest now. It's just not clear who she takes support from to reach a top tier status at this point.
-Warren did what she needed to do on her night, which was to not have a bad moment to kill her current momentum. I'm a big believer that debates generally can hurt you way more than they can help you.
-Castro won the first night.
-As a younger person myself, I thought Swalwell came off as a dick with his "pass the torch" thing. I thought it was the most cringe worthy line of both nights and way worse than anyone speaking in Spanish.
-Tim Ryan trying to appeal to the midwest felt oddly inauthentic.
-Does Beto even want to be in this anymore? I was initially on board months ago, but what was that? He's lucky the field was so crowded and that it's early.
-I liked Marianne's answer on healthcare, but other than that she feels like a hallucination you have at a music festival or something. At least she was the most entertaining.
-I'm still just as undecided as ever after watching. I don't think anyone has really emerged yet as being the best knockout against Trump.
-Half of these people should really just drop out in the next few months.
