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

[NOVA Green]

de Blasio being loud and interrupting people, just like any good new yorker

Truth... even my Mother who despises DJT but grew up in the Central Atlantic region as WWII "shore leave baby", likes that style of Political figure that will throw rhetorical punches with maybe with a pair of brass knuckles on to make a point.

Ton of folks out West and parts of the Midwest, and much of the South find that a "turn-off", but especially in a DEM prim debate might well be considered "rude" considering it is a national primary election.... nut hell, at least he's being talked about esp within one of the largest Media markets, home to major national media outlets, in the US.

How anybody can say Warren was a winner tonight is beyond me.  Those people must have just wrote her in as a winner before the debate and then didn't watch.

I have no doubt that a lot of headlines were pre-written.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

the biggest loser for sure was N. B. C. Cameraman, just a bad performance all around, as well as N. B. C. Microphone, who had an unfortunate gaffe

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Great:
Castro

Fine:
de Blasio
Warren
Gabbard
Inslee

Eh:
Booker
Klobuchar
Delaney

Drop out:
Ryan
O'Rourke

[PSOL]

A smashing final statement, finally. We still can grow and move on from this, Warren still has the momentum.

Don't agree. I think Tulsi and Castro are gonna take some of her support after this debate and I think Gabbard could rise into mid single digits.

Warren has the most solidified base of support in this race, so while there will be a curve down, this debate won’t bring us down.

[Sestak]

Warren actually did very well when she did speak.

[Orwell]

I liked De Blasio and Inslee

I don't think shes gonna collapse or anything I just see Castro and Gabbard rising in the field.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

Didn't watch any of the debate but looking through this thread I'm glad that everybody was simultaneously impressed by the candidate they already liked and thought the candidates they already didn't like did horribly.

[Pandaguineapig]

Overall this debate probably won't move the polls, Gabbard and Castro did well but will still be overshadowed, O'Rourke was already in low single digits and Warren had an opportunity to move into the top tier with Bernie and Biden but stumbled

I don't buy that. Sanders has a pretty clear floor of around 15% (which may also be his ceiling, but that's a separate issue). Warren has just recently shot up from the single digits, and while she is certainly doing wonderful now, I don't see her support being nearly as deep (yet, anyway).

I supported Liz she disappointed

[henster]

Tulsi getting a lot of search interest on Google.

[Grassroots]

How can anyone say Tim Ryan did poorly is beyond me. He did great IMO, can one of you people explain.

[History505]

De Blasio surprised me tonight. O'Rouke did not do well in that exchange with Castro.

[Former Crackhead Mike Lindell]

Terrific performances by de Blasio and Castro!

[OkThen]

If you really believe this debate will result in Warren's standing shifting for the worse you're kidding yourself. She did what she needed to do tonight.

[Bojack Horseman]

Beto's "Vote for me because I'm vanilla Obama" crap isn't going to work. Biden is still #1 for me right now, but Klobuchar is #2.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

How can anyone say Tim Ryan did poorly is beyond me. He did great IMO, can one of you people explain.

He was way out of his league. Not that smart, not that articulate, didn't propose much, and basically pivoted everything to standing up for people who live near the Great Lakes. His only mildly impressive moment was when he criticized Gabbard's excessive anti-interventionism.

[Sestak]

Uh his complete dismantling by Gabbard might have had something to do with that.

He did ok, but Gabbard got him with the war topic.

[YE]

He got totally destroyed by Tulsi on foreign policy.

I'm starting to think the only reason I liked Ryan's performance is because he pandered to rust belt people like myself.

Ryan mixing up the Taliban and al-Qaeda was pretty darn bad.
