Joe's eye blew up again. we can do it Sep 2019 #7

Huh? Sugarcoated Sep 2019 #15

Eye bleeding like last debate. we can do it Sep 2019 #24

Yeah and how'd that work out huh? nt UniteFightBack Sep 2019 #43

Had nothing to do with last debate. I've had a couple. nolabear Sep 2019 #47

Castro is the one who looked bad. madaboutharry Sep 2019 #22

Agreed MBS Sep 2019 #33

Biden's eye is full of blood and Castro looked bad. we can do it Sep 2019 #48

That was very disappointing MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #66

The first 40 minutes were fun - Yang Beto and Castro ran themselves out of the race. underpants Sep 2019 #8

Not sure re Beto but the other two...OY! nolabear Sep 2019 #12

Reparations underpants Sep 2019 #20

i thought beto was okay so far IcyPeas Sep 2019 #16

i don't think so. barbtries Sep 2019 #41

LOL @ the graphic! nt ecstatic Sep 2019 #61

I don't agree with you about Beto but I love the graphic MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #86

Yes, Joe! Good prison reform platform. nolabear Sep 2019 #9

WaPo real time fact check, 10 million remain uninsured under the Biden plan Celerity Sep 2019 #10

Wanting for Biden to remind Warren he was a Democrat when she was GOP McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #11

He won't because that is petty bullshit. demmiblue Sep 2019 #35

+1. nt tblue37 Sep 2019 #77

This.. too classy for that kind of crap! Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #177

Nah, Biden won't go that route peggysue2 Sep 2019 #97

I think I like bdamomma Sep 2019 #14

Better, yes, I agree, elleng Sep 2019 #17

Agreed. This one is better. All except Bernie are better. Wonder if he's ill. nolabear Sep 2019 #21

Glad you agree this one's better. elleng Sep 2019 #32

I couldn't do it myself! nolabear Sep 2019 #58

AWFULLY grueling, elleng Sep 2019 #69

Yes, Booker is doing great. femmedem Sep 2019 #34

I thot Cory and Pete... n/t sprinkleeninow Sep 2019 #182

Oh! Sandy Hook! That is dirty pool. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #18

Why? brooklynite Sep 2019 #23

Yang seems like he was bored and wanted something to do for a year. DrToast Sep 2019 #19

Ouch! Jirel Sep 2019 #55

nice praise by Biden for Beto IcyPeas Sep 2019 #25

I think Beto is transitioning from candidate to civil rights icon. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #29

He's killing it on guns and civil rights! Love it! nt ecstatic Sep 2019 #56

I like his anger and passion IcyPeas Sep 2019 #68

if Biden is the nominee, Beto would be too him what Biden was for Obama JI7 Sep 2019 #52

Have to agree!! Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #178

That was a great moment MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #95

Really liked that Biden gave Beto a peggysue2 Sep 2019 #121

Thank you for that, IcyPeas.. and Biden! Cha Sep 2019 #136

Where's Warren? It's a bit odd isn't it? nolabear Sep 2019 #26

Yes, I posted about her being excluded, too--and soon after she was allowed to speak. nt tblue37 Sep 2019 #107

So glad they are focusing on violence. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #27

Love Biden giving kudos to Beto and Beto's kinda shy and sweet response. emmaverybo Sep 2019 #28

I loved that MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #100

that works for me too dweller Sep 2019 #167

Nice, Joe!!! Sugarcoated Sep 2019 #31

Well said MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #101

They need to bdamomma Sep 2019 #36

This is where Harris can shine---keeping us safe! McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #37

Kamala does well with personal stories. nolabear Sep 2019 #38

BOOM! K. Harris : "Trump has certainly been Tweeting out the ammunition!" bullwinkle428 Sep 2019 #42

Beto is righteous! IcyPeas Sep 2019 #45

Go Beto! "I am" (proposing taking back assault weapons) ecstatic Sep 2019 #46

Beto bdamomma Sep 2019 #49

Beto is on fire! Forget the presidency, dude! March for us instead! McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #51

Yeah, Beto!!! nt tblue37 Sep 2019 #53

Warren isn't getting to speak, even when she signals she wants to. nt tblue37 Sep 2019 #64

Beto!!!! Sugarcoated Sep 2019 #54

Sorry Beto. I'm not with your mandatory gun buy back aikoaiko Sep 2019 #57

Forget the quibbles, elleng Sep 2019 #62

Taking guns away from law abiding people is not really negotiatble to me. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #98

'Sorry,' turn them in and get paid for them. elleng Sep 2019 #126

It won't become law and but the stance will help Republicans keep their seats. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #134

right! play politics on gun control jcgoldie Sep 2019 #154

Remember, Bill Clinton attributed the 1994 Rep takeover to the NRA's pushback on the AWB. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #161

You're OK with citizens owning machine guns? TwilightZone Sep 2019 #131

Do a little research and find out how many legally own machine guns have been used in homicides aikoaiko Sep 2019 #145

So, the answer is "yes". TwilightZone Sep 2019 #151

Thanks elleng Sep 2019 #146

They are weapons of war designed only to kill people jcgoldie Sep 2019 #133

hmmmmmm .. that is NRA's position nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #65

It is my position. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #74

Yes and their tactic is to engage in semantic arguments ad nauseum. We've banned ARs before hlthe2b Sep 2019 #78

And that ban didn't work. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #83

Bullshit hlthe2b Sep 2019 #88

Yes, the ban made them very popular. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #150

Nonsensical response hlthe2b Sep 2019 #162

Its hard to prove, but yes, I think the ban contributed to rising interest in AR15s and aikoaiko Sep 2019 #165

You are correct, the number of deaths related to gun violence went down during the AR15 ban Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #179

This is a principled stance, not a political stance. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #70

I'm not sure what his principle is in this case. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #125

Taking a stand, for one. TwilightZone Sep 2019 #138

As if "weapons of war" is not a semantic argument. aikoaiko Sep 2019 #149

Summarily dismissing a plan for which you have zero details... TwilightZone Sep 2019 #153

Either am I n/t Devil Child Sep 2019 #89

Amy bdamomma Sep 2019 #60

So glad she brought this up. emmaverybo Sep 2019 #82

Just taking note: I think the moderators are doing a very good job in this one hlthe2b Sep 2019 #63

You mean asking real questions? Jirel Sep 2019 #72

Yes elleng Sep 2019 #79

I was just thinking this. Perhaps the DNC should agree to ONLY ABC moderated debates going forward? ecstatic Sep 2019 #73

The whole thing is better. It feels like a serious race with serious candidates. nolabear Sep 2019 #75

Yes elleng Sep 2019 #76

Agree! The Mouse is a Democrat. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #81

Except.. cannabis_flower Sep 2019 #90

agreed gristy Sep 2019 #91

What happened to Warren? She needs in on the conversation. Oh, Booker just has to go emmaverybo Sep 2019 #67

Finally...a license to possess a gun!! Sancho Sep 2019 #71

Outf'ingrageous.Eliz Warren has been completely ignored since Stephanopolous' questions stuffmatters Sep 2019 #80

Agree. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #84

She's being iced out. Wonder if it's by design. Blaukraut Sep 2019 #85

Partly her own fault cause she gets so plan preoccupied. Needs to deal with issues not just detailed emmaverybo Sep 2019 #87

This message was self-deleted by its author femmedem Sep 2019 #104

Agreed...but... ihaveaquestion Sep 2019 #172

Each candidate's time so far: nolabear Sep 2019 #92

Sorry about the buried Yang message. But stats are good. nolabear Sep 2019 #96

If EW time is 16.8 minutes of speaking then she's getting her chance Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #180

Beto 'Hell yes we are going to take your AR-15' Anyone thinking risk-adverse Biden is picking Celerity Sep 2019 #93

Principles over politics. McCamy Taylor Sep 2019 #99

Oh, I agree personally, but when is comes to actually gaming out the real election, my cynicism Celerity Sep 2019 #103

"I love Beto. He is too good to be a presidential candidate." pangaia Sep 2019 #158

Yup. cwydro Sep 2019 #163

Bernie needs some water BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #94

He sounds very hoarse MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #106

So do Biden and Warren, though not quite as hoarse.. nt tblue37 Sep 2019 #152

or lozenges bdamomma Sep 2019 #112

That calling for regrets is foolish. Joe is handling it well. nolabear Sep 2019 #105

OK, WTF is Jorge's angle here? What is his goal? ecstatic Sep 2019 #108

I believe he asking why immigrants should believe Dems now. Raven123 Sep 2019 #123

Castro has really lost me tonight. I'm angry too, ecstatic Sep 2019 #109

I can only think this was a planned strategy, to take on the front runner. Not a good one as I see emmaverybo Sep 2019 #117

it's like he's trying to get Biden in a "gotcha" moment IcyPeas Sep 2019 #119

Same here. I don't know what his plan is but he's just looking desperate for attention. Gidney N Cloyd Sep 2019 #124

Same here. Raven123 Sep 2019 #127

This is wrong. Barack Obama drew up a comprehensive Immigration Reform Act. He did not betray emmaverybo Sep 2019 #110

Did Joe mention that? Raven123 Sep 2019 #132

Exactly bdamomma Sep 2019 #137

Who said he did, emmaverybo? The Cha Sep 2019 #144

Yeah. Forget how he put it exactly. Something about Obama promising immigration reform and then emmaverybo Sep 2019 #174

Thanks.. they get so much Wrong. Cha Sep 2019 #175

Damn, Castro. Being a dick again. nolabear Sep 2019 #111

He is being a dick. He's OFF my list. CousinIT Sep 2019 #115

He is self-destructing and can't see it. hlthe2b Sep 2019 #116

Guess he doesn't want to be VP. His loss. eom tarheelsunc Sep 2019 #122

What's he doing? the "jeering" wasn't enough Cha Sep 2019 #148

I like his directness. No BS. ihaveaquestion Sep 2019 #171

Castro not recalibrating. madaboutharry Sep 2019 #113

Unfortunately, I think his scripted play tonight was to chip Biden. Jirel Sep 2019 #129

Sure seems that way. A bizarre and self-defeating strategy Raven123 Sep 2019 #139

Really childish and embarrassing.... pangaia Sep 2019 #164

What is with the (lack of) enforced time on this "debate"? debsy Sep 2019 #114

That has to be the quickest 45 seconds I have ever encountered. eom tarheelsunc Sep 2019 #118

I wish they would ask all the candidates questions n/t FreeState Sep 2019 #120

Agree heartily. emmaverybo Sep 2019 #128

I've arched for over half an hour FreeState Sep 2019 #130

We don't deserve Mayor Pete underpants Sep 2019 #135

I admire him so much. madaboutharry Sep 2019 #141

I have high hopes for him too IcyPeas Sep 2019 #147

In a bit of a box. underpants Sep 2019 #157

Indeed!! He's ahead of his time..has a very bright future. Should run for Congress then senate Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #181

I've started another debate thread for anyone interested MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #140

What the heck was with that "Socialism" commercial? AnnieBW Sep 2019 #156

Wagering on the nomination. Crowman Sep 2019 #159

Pete: I'd like to see HIM make a deal with Xi! Takket Sep 2019 #160

pull back the curtain dweller Sep 2019 #166

Biden is doing well tonight. So is Pete. nt SunSeeker Sep 2019 #168

Except for his last response... pure word salad. ihaveaquestion Sep 2019 #170

Everyone is looking tired at this point. nt SunSeeker Sep 2019 #173

I think Kamala's comparing Trump to the Wizard behind the curtain in the W of Oz was brilliant. jalan48 Sep 2019 #169
