I think it’s much more a reflection of the debate format than any inadequacy of the candidates. I’ve heard all of these candidates in other settings and they’re much better. Except maybe Biden, I’m stunned that there are people that continue to support him.
Oh come on. You may dislike Sanders policies, but there really is no way he gets close to much of it enacted anyways. At least he cares about people unlike Trump who only cares about himself. Anyone who doesn't vote against Trump is doing the country a major disservice. I beg you to reconsider.
It's a logical outcome of the format. These debates aren't set up to provide us any nuanced discussion that leads to meaningful differentiation, it's just a free for all to show us who tramples and withstands trampling best. I guess those are sort of desirable qualities in a President, but we don't get much more insight than that.
Something tells me the Dems would kill for a John Kasich type candidate right now.
I definitely get it - these things are forgettable at the end of the day. If I'm an undecided voter though, nights like last night are not really helping anyone's cause to gain ground in a race.
This is a very important point too. These debates are more of a talking point/soundbyte format than anything else. Sanders’ talk with Rogan for example was much more substantive than anything I’ve seen in these debates.
Is Sanders is the nominee I am voting for Trump, I will not be the only Democrat voting this way.
Based on this article (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/election-update-what-our-forecast-says-about-every-super-tuesday-state/) Pete, Liz and Amy should all exit after Super Tuesday. They simply won’t get enough delegates to make it worth staying in the race - which means their fundraising will dry up at some point.
In hindsight, that should have warned us that this election cycle was going to be extra stupid this time around.
I have a feeling your kids are going to register to vote and turn out for Bernie.
I started to get that feeling when he ended every rally with 'Vote for the other guy!"TheIronSheik said:I'm not sure Biden gets how this whole thing works. Last night, he made a good point, and the crowd erupted in applause. And what did he do? Yelled at them to be quiet , "Let me finish!"

Someone asked me what the qualifications for the next debate would be. I responded ‘whatever Tulsi has plus one.’
Are you suggesting Bernie is incapable of making that point? (Or that it hasn't been brought up in previous debates?)
I really just hate wasting time with candidates with zero shot. Biden/Sanders, let’s go.
Bernie doesn't have the killer instinct. He just has the same talking points. Although it does appear in the last day that Bernie is going to raise it up a few notches and go after Biden. Maybe he's finally fed up with the BS.
They didn't have any problem with Marianne Williamson, Beto, Gov WhatsHisName, and Booker taking the stage.
Maybe. But he has a better shot than Bernie.
Exactly! There are now primaries and caucuses going on. She;s winning actual votes, not polls. She's winning delegates!
I am not sure what you are saying.
I can only think you’re kidding. The first Samoan-American candidate didn’t even win American Samoa.
She met the criteria for this coming debate. And then they announced it would be changed 20 minutes after she did and the official announcement was of that was today.
I am not making the claim.You're implying that Biden has.
They have been setting new criteria before each of the last few debates.
She qualified, and then they changed it after she qualified. That's a fact. There's no reason to change it if he she didn't qualify before. They could have simply stated it.
