Democratic debate 2019: Unexpected winners and a clear-cut loser
NY Post ^ | August 1, 2019 | 12:03am | Post Staff Report

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?

Again with “Trump’s racist tweets.” There were no such thing. I reject the premise of the article.

Big deal. Whoever wins the rat race will become the chief rat. That’s all. Unless the election is stolen, I see any one of them going down in flames, come November 2020.

Democrat candidates debate and one of the key issues to get you to the next stage, besides everything for free, is "Trump's racist tweets"?

Ok.

It was nice to see a military presence at last nights festivities: Major foul-up, Major Disaster, General Failure and course Private “parts” Biden.

Racist Tweets?

I did not realize that the term Rat Race actually meant that rats are a race.

My reaction too. When 65 million of us are racist - and Trump too for noticing Baltimore's a corrupt mess then the term has no meaning. And people who toss the term around lightly are idiots.
