“They got
Little hands, little eyes,
They walk around telling big big lies”
Don’t want no short people (3 X)…

Trump is 6’3"

To me, they are ALL short people.

“They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time…”

Good theme song for Mini Farmer Mike.

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.

The clear winner was Trump.

Donald “Short-Fingered Vulgarian” Trump. Still the best shade.

Solid takes. I would add:

• Biden only seemed sure of himself when on the defensive. The rest of the time he seemed to struggle to pull talking points out of the cobwebs.
• Bernie was angry all right. Constantly interrupting. Not a good look.
• Mayor Pete kept harping on a pitifully few attack points that were not the haymakers he seemed to think they were. And Klobuchar did a good job of backing him down at one point.
• I wish she had a chance at the nomination. Of the six people on stage, she has the least baggage that the CEC can use against her, and the most centrist cred.

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.

Life expectancy now is 20 years longer than it was back in day. Too young as far as I’m concerned. Regarding him being homosexual, don’t think that is going to play well in many of the swing states.

@Jamerican

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

This was actually the first time I got a really good look at her. She sort of looks like a mannequin.

Last poll I saw said 14% of democrats and independents say they won’t, but I am sure democrats can afford to lose them.

I get the impression he spends hours in front of a mirror perfecting his Obama cadence and condescending tone when he talks.

I don’t see Trump ridiculing hard working farmers.

I agree. “He should aim for less arrogant and out-of-touch than Mike Bloomberg.” That won’t move the needle much, but it’s a start.
