Amy, Pete and Liz are on FIRE!

Clear and concise. Iowa, we cannot wait to see what you do in a matter of weeks! If this debate were to end now, please keep these three in the top tier.

Amy and Liz especially... WOW

We're watching the debate as a family, my house is ready to see both Biden and Sanders fade away. It's time to move forward, shopping time is over. It's time to take our purchases to the cashier.

We're donating to Amy, Pete and Warren tonight!

...he looked upset, angry and he needs to stop pounding the podium. The mike is on it, plus he is yelling.

I think Biden is actually doing better then usual in terms of discussing specific proposals, though he still leans heavily on his nice grandpa routine.

Angry old man versus nice old man with Steyer agreeing with both.

Agree that Warren, Klochbar and Buttigieg are impressive so far.

...I think it underscores that people are tired of rage filled guys yelling from the podium, but it is not quite enough to take Steyer seriously.

Call me geeky, but I appreciate Pete, Liz and Amy diving into the weeds and disagree without looking like they hate each other's guts. I thought it was a credible for Liz to agree that Amy, Pete and Biden's plans would improve the current health care system, but argue that her plan would be better.

In contrast, Bernie seems to reject any plan or proposal that is not his, but takes serious umbrage when you offer a mild critique.

I think that three I called out are running circles around everyone else, but I could show some love to Steyer. Focusing on the home audience is a very smart strategy!

He is just trying to be agreeable, but I am not really getting a good sense of what his proposals and positions are. How can someone agree with both Bernie and Biden on a healthcare question?

Honestly I think Klobuchar is coming across as arrogant, but it has been a good debate without many personal attacks.

We need Bernie and Liz to be cordial to each other.

They gave her the bait, she refused to take it. Total class move, that of a Stateswoman! I think Amy is funny and I think she's doing the best tonight. I'm really impressed by her.

And I liked Bernie’s answer about Hillary getting 3 million more votes. I think both are putting the attacks behind them.
