3. Will Klobuchar wear: Pants or Skirt/Dress

4. How many times will Biden mention Obama (excl. Obamacare): 0-1 or 2-3 or 4+

5. Who will have the most speaking time: Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Sanders, Steyer, Warren or Yang

[AAABatteries]

1. Sanders
2. Billionaire(s)
3. Pants
4. 2-3
5. Buttigieg - I'm assuming they will have the same rule where if you are mentioned by name you can reply .  I think Pete gets mentioned a lot because of how well he's polling in Iowa - it's obvious Sanders and Warren have taken notice and I think they go after him
6. Yes
7. Yes

 

[Quint]

1. Sanders

2. Corruption

3. Pants

4. 0 - 1

I can't find it specifically in the rules, but I think they have to within reason ( they usually cut off the back and forths after a couple of rounds)
"According to PBS NewsHour and Politico, there will be no opening statements. Candidates will have 1:15 minutes to respond to questions from moderators and 45 seconds for rebuttals and followups. Candidates will have one minute each for closing statements. Lower polling candidates will deliver their closing remarks first."

Where's the question about Biden's attire? Odds he comes out in a kilt?

How many times will he say the wrong word and have to correct himself?  0-1: 2-4; 4+

(As someone much younger than him who does this repeatedly, no malice intended here).

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Cap'n - . Don't need to see those legs.
Adonis- I don't think we'd get much distribution on responses for that one. 4+ all around/

We actually do have  pretty good distribution of responses so far, with the most unanimity on the last two.

He needs to slow done in his responses. He tries to talk to fast and gets tongue tied. I think that's where he get in trouble. I've seen him being interviewed where he talks in a slower cadence and he's so much more effective.

Bernie hitting back with several “billionaire”s

[Long Ball Larry]

#######it i was going to go with billionaires initially

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Here are the correct answers. I'll be back later to figure out who hit on the most

1. Corruption Mentions: Warren 8, Sanders 4
2. A close one: Mentions of Billionaire(s) 18, Corrupt(ion) 17
3. Klobuchar  wore skirt
4. Zero Obama mentions by Biden
5. Top speaking time: (1) Sanders, (2) Klobuchar, (3) Warren (Pretty sure no one got this one)
6. No  Bloomberg mentions
7. No protesters that I noticed, but I missed a few minutes. Can someone confirm?

i thought biden did mention obama in response to a question about obamacare?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

BIDEN: I don't think it is realistic, but let me explain why. I introduced a plan to build on Obamacare. Remind everybody, 20 million people got insurance who didn't have it before. All people with pre-existing conditions were able to be covered. I could go on. We didn't get all that we wanted.

But now that it's been exposed, that taking it away has such dire consequences, I've added to the Obamacare plan the Biden initiative, which is a public option, Medicare if you want to have Medicare, reducing significantly the price of drugs, deductibles, et cetera, by -- made by underwriting the plan to a tune of about $750 billion, and making sure that we're able to cover everyone who is, in fact, able to be covered. Put your hand down for a second, Bernie, OK?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

ohhh... EXCL. Obamacare

I thought that it was including.  d'oh.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Put your hand down for a second, Bernie, OK?

Lol, old guys shouting at each other.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

I did that to distinguish between referencing the person vs. the healthcare plan.

  We’ve had protestors interrupt earlier debates, but last night didn’t have a moment like that.  So I agree 7 should be graded “No”, and I say that as someone who picked “Yes” on 7.

Thx for the confirmation. I really though Cosecha would show up again and interrupt Biden.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

And the winner is ............ @Dickies with four correct.
Most people got two or three. Most talking time is the one no one got and no Bloomberg mentions is the one most people guessed right.

Nice work and thanks for the levity!  Hope this continues.

A lark, or levity, looks to be a heck of a lot of substance. 

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

@Mystery Achiever -- make this happen again!

 

[Mystery Achiever]

@fatguyinalittlecoatThanks for the interest.   Cataract surgery tomorrow morning sidelines me for this round.
 I probably have time to make up a few questions if someone wants to do the work of figuring out the correct answers.

Good luck with surgery tomorrow!

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Thanks  !

 

[Mystery Achiever]

I'm really out of the loop. Didn't know Steyer made the stage.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

1. Is Tom Steyer in the debate?

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Okay. let's do one more round. Hope everyone will play again.
