(7,873 posts)Washington Post called Biden one of the debate losers, and that was clearly not the case. Anyone who think his performance was bad, or even as worse as Bloomberg, is clearly not objective. It was his strongest performance yet and clearly stronger than everyone else other than Warren, who could also make a case for being the debate winner.

(81,466 posts)Biden had a pretty good night.
Bloomberg did not. But this is his first such outing. The next one should tell the story.

(5,256 posts)Because they know that in a fair fight, there are more Democrats and more people who agree with Democrats. In order to gin up a horserace and ratings, they have to tear into the Democratic frontrunner - or the person they think will do the best against the Republican. This is often also a candidate they perceive as boring. Hence, they hated Gore, hated Hillary, and hated Kerry. Now it's Biden. They know Sanders has no chance of winning the general, but they want the drama he and his supporters bring, and/or a brokered convention. Biden winning just doesn't help them out.

(871 posts)Warren went over the top. She went well beyond an assertive female candidate. She was firing cannonballs at everyone, and at every answer that was not hers. She ended up sounding like a bitch know-it-all.
I am not anti-women. I was admiring her strength and fortitude. I felt positive at her aggressiveness to be heard. The problem arose because she went too far with it. Every single time someone else spoke, not necessarily to her, she would start raising her hand, wiggling it, jumping up and down, mouthing to the questionnaires. Her behavior, at first was a positive forcefulness, but it continued after every other nominee spoke becoming a distraction. The constant drone of her voice and her bouncing around waving to speak almost constantly turned the audience off.
Just my opinion

(65,180 posts)Maybe I am too nice, but I really didnt think anyone but Bloomberg did badly.
Warren - A+
Sanders - A to A-
Biden - A-
Buttigieg - B
Klobuchar - B-
Bloomberg - D-
For the first half, Bloomberg was a clear F.

(17,988 posts)Obama was a bad debater in his first debate, became better as the others made him. Joe Lockhart.
Joe did fine, so did Elizabeth, Amy, Mike.
But Elizabeth seems to have made an impression.
I do not want another 4 years of an angry man. That is all I have to say.

(65,180 posts)It is nothing like Trump IMO. There is productive emotion and then there is hate.

(22,913 posts)I would give him a "B", and that is only because (paradoxically) he needed an "A plus" performance to have the impact that a standard "A" performance would have netted him earlier in this race.
