Former Vice President Joe Biden: Wayne Gretzky said you have to go where the puck is, not where it was. Biden’s politics are stuck in the Democratic Party’s past.And his responses frequently veered off-course. I was paying close attention and he lost me at least three times by jumping around.

Arrow: Down

Sen. Bernie Sanders: His answers often seemed like a reprise of his performances during the 2016 primary debates.I don’t see how he picked up any new voters tonight, and it’s hard to keep old ones with so much talent on the stage.

Arrow: Down

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: She comes off progressive, unflappable and authentic, which might be the dream combination in this race. Voters crave personal authenticity.Democratic activists crave progressive authenticity. Warren’s got both in droves.

Arrow: Up

Sen. Cory Booker: This was his best debate yet, especially on guns and veterans. His critique of Beto needing a massacre to happen in El Paso to wake up to the gun epidemic was powerful. Might have been the best outing of the night.

Arrow: Up

Mayor Pete Buttigieg: When Mayor Pete talks about his Douglass Plan to fight racism, he sounds smart, passionate and inspiring.He had a really solid second half, too, talking about Afghanistan, his military service and respecting teachers.

Arrow: Up

Sen. Kamala Harris: The former prosecutor started strong but faded. She should have been ready for questions about her shifting positions at this point, but seemed surprised. Her quips were overly scripted.

Arrow: Sideways

Andrew Yang: Lots of hype on his surprise announcement turned out to be a letdown. And he didn’t seem to have much else to talk about once he unleashed his 10 winners. On the flip side, if his list gets millions of new sign-ups, maybe it will be worth it.

Arrow: Down

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke: This was his best debate yet, but was it enough to break out? Not sure a straight white guy can inspire Democrats in 2020 with a field this crowded.

Arrow: Sideways

SO MUCH TALENT?? What’s this guy been sniffing?

[Paul R.]

Warren = Authentic. Uh-huh. Mr. Hicks must have some really good weed...

[[SO MUCH TALENT?? What’s this guy been sniffing?]]

He’s obviously a brown noser-

[[Sen. Elizabeth Warren: She comes off progressive, unflappable and authentic, which might be the dream combination in this race. Voters crave personal authenticity.Democratic activists crave progressive authenticity. Warren’s got both in droves.]]

Yep- old princess Pocahontas is ‘authentic’ alright- about as authentic as a jackalope

[Bob434]

Mr Hicks is driving hte narrative- just as he’s been ordered to/paid to do

Warren, without the Indian-DNA-heritage business...would be way ahead of the nine others, and might be a better candidate than Hillary (at least in the debate business).

But then you come back to the Indian heritage business, and how her entire life/career was built around this false background. It’s like a skunky-smell....you just can’t get over how she advanced, and arrived where she is today...with the fake Indian business. Black males in particular...will just sit and laugh over the fake nature of this.

Full disclosure... I did not watch tonight, just wanted to share the meme!

[Widget Jr]

I didn’t watch it either, and I’m pretty sure you got it right.

[Fresh Wind]

Horizontal Harris went sideways. Lol!

[equaviator]

Not one mention by any of these candidates of the coming recession? I find that hard to believe!

[FreedomPoster]

Perfect!

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Thank you for sharing!

[jonsie]

I think Julian Castro did.

[wastoute]

Any mention of Mueller or Impeachment?

[ronnie raygun]

Call me when they ban a chicken in every pot, seems to be the only thing left

[basalt]

some guy named Coffey actually graded the debate, not the writer...

[Rodm]

A bunch of losers

[MrEdd]

Nah.
Even without the fake Indian foundation on which her entire career has been built she still is a screechy old shrew.
She’s like that aunt who never forgets you broke her window when you were seven, and embelishes that story more and more even though you are in your forties now.
