2nd DEM Debate Thread: July 30 & 31, Detroit (MI), CNN

No one seems to want Warren and Harris on the same stage for some reason

I personally don’t want to see them together until later once we get down to the real contenders.

CNN is garbage.

All of the moderates on Night 1 because they are going to go after Warren and Bernie.

Harris, Booker on Night 2

Booker, Biden, Harris

Hope Biden takes debate prep seriously....

well actually I don't. LOL.

Warren, Bernie, and Mayor Pete relegated to the kiddy table?  WTF?

I don’t see anything kiddie table about 3 of the top 5 being on that night unless the not-Biden night is automatically the kiddie table in your eyes.

We all agree that Bernie's campaign basically ends in 9 days, right?

Depends what you mean by ends - whether it's when he suspends, when it becomes clear that he won't win, or that he has a terrible performance and therefore moves into the same zone as Buttigieg etc.

I predict that he goes onstage with Warren, they agree for 95% of the debate, Warren is already killing him in the debate via saying what he's saying with a lot more energy and enthusiasm, and she'll hit him on one little thing and it'll send him down to just under 10%. Not a dramatic thing but enough to make it clear he has no shot at the nom.

Still no, because Warren won't attack Bernie.

Why wouldn't she? She knows she has an advantage over Bernie on the whole staff unionization thing with all the recent news coming out that Bernie's campaign is terrible to his staff. I'm sure she has the upper hand on a number of other issues too.

Besides the personal aspect(the two are rather great friends) and the political aspect already mentioned(both Sanders and Warren need the others voters to win the nomination), theres also the well-known fact that Sanders and Warren agreed to a non-aggression pact. Warren isnt going to go after Sanders, and vice-versa, its just not worth it for either.

Non-aggression pact? Where is the source on that? Bernie has definitely said some shady and snarky things that teetered on coming for Warren.

No Elizabeth Warren slander will be tolerated 🙅🏿‍♂️

[Rookie Yinzer]

The way CNN is trying to goad the candidates into attacking each other is gross

[Rookie Yinzer]

Beto ends his bid, with that one sentence about reparations.

RIP

K.

Williamson SLAYED.

Williamson SLAYED.

Marianne mainstreaming reparations and talking about how Trump connected to the psyche of white voters was spot on and brilliant. All while not even attacking no one on the stage.

When she broke it down to raw numbers of what was owed I had chills. Never thought I’d see the day. I’m surprised they let her finish that statement.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Biden is going to gaslight the whole way through. And weak Democrats scared of “handing the election to Trump by fighting” will give him the nomination.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Biden is getting attacked left and right and not faltering at all

FTFY

Your fascination with the idea of the possible demise of Biden is just as creepy as RFK fan's.

I don’t have a fascination with anything. I put my words into action by donating and volunteering for the candidates I prefer. I think he sucks and don’t want him to win. I didn’t realize I had to get in line for who YOU want me to.

What's fascinating about it? He's obviously the least electable candidate. Literally every candidate has taken a jab and landed something on him.

He'll be easily stomped by Trump if Inslee can land something on him.

He leads with 80 year olds that the Dems already have locked down so he will crush Trump in the general. LOL.
