I might switch to Warren. Bernie is just too tainted as a candidate for me rn.

Warren still hasn’t even gotten rid of Trump’s dumb Pocahontas nickname for her. He would bulldoze her.

At a debate she would spend 20 minutes explaining a detailed policy and Trump would just call her a nerd and insult her appearance and then  win the debate. 

She can’t handle a toxic man like Trump. Bernie or Kamala would be able to put him in the corner though

I wished Warren got more time during the middle/end of that debate, but she held her own very well.

Surprise standouts for me were Castro and Booker. Gabbard had a really calm and composed demeanor the whole time, which I thought served well in terms of her presence.

Klobuchar and de Blasio were okay; O'Rourke, imo, couldn't really answer the questions and neither could Ryan (he sort of annoyed me this whole debate).

Finally, Inslee and Delaney were just sorta...there...

She could handle Trump. The problem is his base and the people who think calling someone names is better than literally anything Warren has to offer.

Also why did they try to speak Spanish? As a Mexican American voter it didn’t make the candidates seem more invested in me. It made them seem fake as hell. The only one who would get a pass on that is Castro because he actually grew up speaking the language and it’s a core part of his identity. 

Bernie and Kamala won’t pull this **** (probably) but I’m mentally preparing myself to hear Biden tell me to vote for him in Spanish tomorrow.  :saladga:

ALSO. Jay Inslee I appreciate the firm stance on climate change but BOI GET YOUR ASS BACK TO WASHINGTON (STATE) WHERE IT BELONGS AND DEAL WITH OUR HOMELESS CRISIS.

Standout for me included Warren and Castro. 

Warren just comes across as very sincere and authentic in her delivery. I especially loved her closing statement about her family. 

Castro was able to answer every question honestly and with enough policy specifics to explain how he will do "x". He vaulted over Beto and several other candidates tonight. I am not sure how far he will go, but he definitely saved his campaign. 

Tim Ryan came across as annoying and entitled. I'm not sure why he's even there. 

 I cringed at Beto's ~espanol~ just stop please. That goes to all politicians. I'm seeing mixed results over Beto's performance. While some parts were bad, people seemed to like other responses. He'll definitely stay for a while. 

I don't think Tulsi got a chance to speak that much. On the other hand, Booker spoke too long. 

The other candidates did fine or okay IMO.

Tulsi is the only one that can debate Trump and make him look stupid without saying anything. Just her presence will force Trump to respect her and if he does not, he will look bad. Even Trump supporters would be interested in her as a veteran whos anti war and is not a typical "leftist" who hates republicans. She also supports medicare for all which most Trump supporters want. I think shes the only one who can get republicans and centrists to vote for her.

I dont understand how they call progressives radical left when they are the ones who represent the majority of Americans including republicans but corporate democrats are considered centrists when they dont represent anyone.

Also I think Tulsi just ended Tim Ryan's candidacy.

The clear standouts were Warren, Booker, Castro, and, surprisingly, de Blasio. Castro thoroughly impressed me as Booker did. 

The rest are a no. O'Rourke was sadly so disappointing I was looking for something from him but I guess he ain't it. Oh well. 

I like Bernie but Warren has got it, and at this point I think I'm going with her.

I really believed in Beto back in 2018, but he really seems to not be holding up. That dude’s gotta stick to state politics. :awkney: Elizabeth Warren for the win!
