Nevada debate thread

I don’t like Pete, can’t figure out why- I think he’s too vanilla for me.

Pete has spent most of his time as mayor watching what Obama did and is essentially copying his approach. He is very well rehearsed at telling people what they want to hear. Personally I’m of the view that our president should be someone with more life experience than a 37 year old.

I agree. 37 is the new 27. And I’m of the view that our President should be someone with no homosexual experience.

A few takeaways from the debate:

1. Bloomberg was everything I thought he would be, an arrogant rich guy trying to buy an election and who is nothing more than the democrat version of Trump with a lot more money. I find it funny that a former republican now democrat want to run against a former democrat now republican. Don’t trust neither of them rich bastards. They don’t care about US, just money, power and winning.

2. Senator Warren has receipts…a lot of them. I think she would be a decent candidate for the dems if she was more of a centrist and had a better personality. I think she’s qualified for the position.

3. Bernie was Bernie. I’m not buying what he’s selling. Him and his sycophants need to really work on their messaging especially about the differences between socialism and what Bernie is. Bernie is many things but he’s neither a traditional socialist or communist. Also, on the socialism thing, they really need to attack the brand of socialism we are experiencing with the wealthy.

4. Mayor Pete is a moderate which is fine, but he’s way out of his league policy wise. Also, the south and the Midwest would never elect him. IMO, he’s a poor man’s Obama. I think he’s better off running for Governor or US Senate.

5. Senator Klobuchar? SMH…not sure why she’s still in the race. Her beef with mayor Pete was a waste of time.

6. Besides Senator Warren, Biden performed well. I still think he’s a unstable old man still riding on the coat tails of President Obama.

7. This debate was nothing more than a food fight and great ammunition for the Trump campaign.

8. Sigh…none of these guys are beating Trump so I’m prepared in dealing with Trump’s nonsense and him perpetuating WS for 4 more years. As a member of the global majority, we will get through this.

Warren probably doing the best so far.

Mayor Pete is dong better.

Paging Dr. Freud!

It’d be nice to see one with a spine as well. Say what you gotta say, agreeable or not, and stand by it. But that’s not politics, so never mind.

None will be able to tap a VP from this lot with the attacks back and forth. Of course Trump made the same error in 16.

Sanders not honest on taxes for his National Health Care. First of all, he says let’s be like Denmark. Denmark is a capitalist country that does have a Nationalized Health Care Plan. They pay about 56% income taxes, but they have a low, 22% corporate income taxes so capitalism can thrive, so businesses can be successful. Finland’s government just collapsed over Nationalized Health Care. United Kingdom people are going blind because they don’t get covered in preventive manners, until it is too late. Most of the countries he lauds are actually moving to more private insurance, in the Nordic Countries the very thing he wants to abolish. Private insurance in the US is helping very many people on Medicare, because Medicare by itself is insufficient. The Medicare supplement, private insurance has been a more important way to sustain people. Also, Sweden, they have a low corporate tax rate,21% and everybody gets taxed at about 65%, and they have no minimum wage. And they have private insurance to complement the single payer because single payer by itself is insufficient. Why doesn’t he tell us that everybody will get taxed at 65%, the rich as well as the poor. That is not what he wants. Also, many of the countries that have universal coverage do not single payer. Switzerland has universal coverage but it is privatized insurance. Germany is mostly private insurance.

He doesn’t tell you because he doesn’t want you to know your taxes are going to rise so much.

It would sink him.

He hopes the low information voters do not figure it out.

@conan

Is Bloomberg standing on a stool? He seems to be just as tall as Warren and Sanders.

Bloomberg is 5’8"

Warren is 5’8"

Sanders is 6’0"

Biden is 6’0"

Buttigieg is 5’8" or 5’9" depending on the source

Klobuchar is 5’4"

Trump is 6’3"

To me, they are ALL short people.

[Weedhopper]

Not one question on National Security, with all these investigation into Obama’s Deepstate not surprised.

[GWH]

Then they have no reason?

Randy Newman reference! Well done!

I don’t think there was a clear winner, but the clear loser, IMHO, was Bloomberg. He looked weak, underprepared and uncomfortable. Did not inspire confidence.

Warren, on the other hand, seemed over prepared. From the jump, her remarks seemed very rehearsed and stay-on-script. Nothing new, fresh or compelling.

Sanders seemed angry. He’s got a lot of energy, but I thought he was on the defensive a lot.

Buttigieg and Klobuchar both seemed okay, comfortable, nothing special. Both make me feel like they’re campaigning for the VP spot.

Biden - again, nothing special, nothing inspiring. Trying to think back to last night, anything he might have said that stood out, and I can’t think of anything.

[zantax]

Anyone else notice, Warren attacked everyone but the front runner, Sanders. She should change her name to Ted Cruz.

It would be kinda fun watching the business cycle crash and the deficit doubling to $2,trillion under trump and watch the GOP response

I mean, it’s going to happen no matter whose in

[bigtwnvin]

When Bloomie said to Sanders (I believe and paraphrasing), “One thing is for sure this conversation is why Trump will win in November”.
Admittedly, I lost it. Not because of what he said but how he shut comrade Sanders off with that cavalier New York sarcastic flavor.
It’s entertaining to watch rich old guys trade barbs!
