He's got a cult following to rival Trump's who unquestioningly accept everything he says.

She wasn’t desperate.

which in itself reveals some level of desperation. A non-desperate candidate talks freely and off the cuff.

Last night’s debate was important. I don’t think we should knock anyone for being prepared. Her interview with Tweety afterwards was just great..off script...she was quite warm and engaging.

A good candidate understands their material well enough to make it appear that they're talking freely and off-the-cuff.

If you don't believe that all of the candidates script most of their material and have prepared answers for expected questions, you're fooling yourself.

I saw a very inspiring Amy Klobuchar, strong showings from all but Yang.

BS and his endless loop finga wagging answer to every question is tiring.

really like her persona, but have concerns about her positions on issues. The standard Democratic Party approach of trying to accomplish big things through very small bites has failed miserably on the balanced economy front for 4-plus decades now. It's time to throw out incrementalism and start from the goal of accomplishing big changes. Maybe then we will actually achieve some real progress.

That is why I support Sanders and Warren ahead of every other candidate. They get it.

Having said that, my pledge is to Vote Blue No Matter Who.

Klobuchar is very well spoken and has been an excellent senator. However, I think she understates the nature of structural challenges that will require bold solutions.

Still, with her energy and clarity, I think she should be #1 among the moderates and would be a very good GE candidate.

I guess that's a positive?

Thanks for the thread JoeOtterbein.
