The Thursday night campaign trail was a tale of two cities: Houston, where 10 Democratic presidential hopefuls battled in their third debate of the cycle — and Baltimore, where the man they're running to beat had the stage all to himself.
At roughly the same time the Democratic faceoff began, President Donald Trump strode into a Republican gathering halfway across the country — unashamed to show up in a city he’d called “rat-infested” a few weeks ago — and launched into well-honed attacks on his would-be replacements.
He trotted out the set of derogatory nicknames he's rolled out over months of re-election rallies — "Sleepy Joe," "Pocahontas," "Crazy Bernie" — while warning that a “grim specter of socialism is descending on the Democrat Party,” full of radicals who will destroy America's economic and physical security.
It was a well-practiced performance honed over more than a year of repetition: the same one-liners, the same personal insults and policy barbs.
Meanwhile, for the first 30 minutes of the Democratic debate, the candidates struggled to figure out who their main opponent was. They battled each other over health care, with former Vice President Joe Biden echoing Trump’s narrative that the universal health care plan advocated by several candidates would cause millions of people to lose their private health insurance, boosting the tax burden for working Americans. "That's a reality," said Biden. "Now, it's not a bad idea if you like it. I don't like it."

President Trump was absolutely wonderful last night - so on target and so funny and so good - worth watching the whole speech..,

The Democratic debate was like a fundraiser for Elizabeth Warren at Kentucky Fried Chicken - all they served was left wings and a**h****.
analysis
1) He was right on Biden, he was all over the place incoherent. Kinda sad to watch as he clearly isn’t in full charge of his faculties. As much as he’s the safe bet for the majority of the party, he’s failing.
2) Beto, unconstitutionally confiscating guns is a non-starter - DOWN BIG TIME
3) Bernie - he comes across as a kook, because he is. DOWN
4) Warren - I agree that she may be the final candidate because she can talk, chew gum, and flail her arms at the same time. But her politics are radical and won’t sell in a general outside of very liberal Dem Massachusetts.UP
5) Booker - no real plank except I’m Black and the country is racist. down
6) Castro, mean to grampa Joe - Down and OUT
7) Asian guy, sideways and soon out.
8) Klobachaur - sideways, not enough support or gravitas to get the nod
9) Kamala - very annoying and zero gravitas - flat on her back
10) Trump - the winner, these folks are plain kooky
11) Dem party - Down, seriously these potential nominees are not anything to cheer about.
12) OVERALL IMPRESSION - The debate consisted of platitudes and lacked any substantive proposals backed up with reality and numbers.
What High School are they trying to become class president of?
Then they have a gander at who their "guy/gal" looks and sounds like in the debate. You could literally hear the air deflating from their balloons. What a bunch of clowns and ne'er-do-wells.
Bernie looked like the angry Nazi at the soup kitchen in Seinfeld. Biden looked like he needed a new tube of Fixodent for his dentures. Beto flailing away about free gun confiscation. Comedian Yang promising free income. Pochahontas promising free (sorta) healthcare for all.
If you want to know who won last night's democRATic debate, it was one Donald Trump. He outshined them all and he wasn't even on the stage.
All the policemen and soldiers in the world couldn’t disarm Tampa.
“If you want to know who won last night’s democRATic debate, it was one Donald Trump. He outshined them all and he wasn’t even on the stage.”
Yep.

What a loaded up article. Typical of “unbiased” reporting we get from the “news” media./sarc
Can anyone confirm: No Debate Tonight!
At one point Biden said if you like your health care you can keep your health care. Yes, he really did go there.
And why would he be ashamed to show up in a city he'd called "rat-infested?" It is exactly that--rat-infested! President Trump, a MAN OF TRUTH, has never recoiled from TRUTH--something that baffles those who oppose him.
And what better place to show-up while the Democrat "debate" blathered on than Baltimore, a city once beautiful, enlightened, and ascendant, that the Democrat Party and its policies have converted into a dangerous, rat-infested, murderous hell-hole?
People wonder why the enormous divide in US politics has become so wide and so angry.
People wonder why Democrats and Republicans cannot come together for the good of the country, as they did in times past.
The answer is easy:
On the one hand, there is a MAN OF TRUTH, who loves America and believes in the American Dream, whose rallying cry is "Make America Great!" a genius who has brought the USA to unprecedented prosperity, who donates his Presidential salary to charity, who promises ever greater greatness for America and for all the people in the world,
and
On the other hand, a gang of hate-filled, angry misfits who hate America, consider the USA to be an evil, racist, nazi nation, and who intend to destroy the USA.
This is why they can't come together:
The DEMOCRATS HATE AMERICA and want nothing for the good of the country. They don't care if they destroy the USA. In fact, their objective is to DESTROY AMERICA!Whereas PRESIDENT TRUMP LOVES AMERICA, believes in the American Dream, and intends to MAKE AMERICA GREAT!
OVERALL IMPRESSION - The Democrats have nothing to offer but anger and hate.
Must be a miserable life to be so full of hatred.
Good one, HotHunt!
They are miserable. And their objective is to make America and all the people of the world as miserable as they are.
Typical angry, hate-filled misfits.
Maryland's extreme gerrymandering includes in Cummings' district a very wealthy area of northern Baltimore County, connected to the inner city part by miles of a few, perhaps even one, road. Most of the largely Republican people there are completely disenfranchised, though they may be 40% of the voters.
Dems have used the power of computers and voter registrations to have Congressional representation 7 Dem to 1 Republican. The state is heavily Dem with so many dependent on government,either for their job or their handout, but NOT 7 to 1.
Yes. No wonder Baltimore is rat-infested, crime-infested mess!
Baltimore was once America's crown-jewel. Detroit was once a booming, ascendant metropolis. San Francisco was once the golden city of the golden state. Los Angeles was once the world's glamor capital.
Look at them today. This is what Democrats and their policies have to offer.
Like psychopathic individuals, the Democrat Party always leaves a path of destruction in its wake.
President Trump's objective is to make America great.
The Democrat Party's objective is to destroy America.
The democratic debate looked like a row of Sponge Bob Square Pants characters.
