Greer said there was one clear loser in tonight’s debate: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s quixotic quest to go from Gracie Mansion to the White House.

“De Blasio was the loser tonight,” she added. “Not even the [Eric] Garner question was directed at him.”

WINNERS

Julián Castro Analysis: Presented a strong case for attendance in the next debate with measured and thoughtful answers to complex issues — including on Eric Garner and President Trump’s racist tweets. He started to lay a foundation as to why he deserves to be in the conversation. It could be enough to catapult him into the conversation as a top-tier candidate.

Cory Booker Analysis: He had a strong night on almost all issues and had quite a few moments that resonated with the audience. He even got in a few jabs on Biden and retweetable moments — especially his “Kool-Aid” exchange with the former vice president on Biden’s controversial 1990s crime bill.

LOSERS

Bill de Blasio Analysis: Consistently tried to insert himself into debates and goad Biden into a fight — and was ignored. There’s nothing worse than that in a debate. Even the moderators swatted him away at times. His answers on Eric Garner and lead poisoning were insufficient. Who would be interested in his campaign beyond those doing business with New York City?

Booker's moving up the Veep charts. The veep absolutely has to be black, no matter which white person heads the ticket.

He wants to hard to pass for both ghetto and straight. But he's a gay boy from the wealthy suburbs of NJ, who is officially whiter than Biden.

There’s an equine paradox in Houston tonight: 10 more horse’s asses than horses.
