1st DEM Debate Thread: June 26 & 27, Miami, MSNBC & NBC & Telemundo (9-11pm)

Warren being at the kids' table honestly does suck for a number of reasons:
1. She's not in there with Joe.
2. This will probably pull in less viewers, though I don't expect too many people, outside of us political junkies, to watch these debates at all. It's going to be pretty boring in comparison to night two.
3. It isn't like she really deserves to be at the kids' table either.
4. Quite unbalanced when four of the top five are up on one night.

Good things to come out of Warren's placement:
1. As already said before, she is the biggest name there and will probably outshine everyone else anyway.
2. It might be a cake walk for her especially when compared to what night two has.

Other good things from these debates:
1. Biden has a lot of competition. The main ones that we need to keep our eyes on are Sanders and Williamson. It will be challenging for him.
2. Lower-tier candidates that I do want to see how they carry themselves: Klobuchar, Inslee and Gabbard for night 1; Gillibrand and Williamson for night 2.
3. Sanders and Hickenlooper on the same night...
4. Interested to see what happens with O'Rourke considering how he was on top of the world for a little while.
5.Buttigieg will be interesting as well.

These people look like the citizens of the Capitol in the Hunger Games. Are all rich coastal dems like this?

Really?
