For me.

Winners: Kamala, Gillibrand,Butiguege

Neutral: Bernie

Losers: John Hickenlooper , Michael Bennet , Biden , Yang ,Eric Swalwell

Just plain weird : Marianne Williamson
 
I did not know Bernie shared it so I don’t know how he’d implement it. I do know though that it’s a concept that goes way over people’s heads because they don’t care. It’s not what people want to hear about the Supreme Court right now. The judiciary has long been a bigger priority for republicans than democrats in voting. I think the stuff first with Garland’s obstruction and then Kavanaugh has brought it into the public eye. People want a Democrat counterpunch they can get behind. So I don’t think it’s a vote winner. It will just kind of be lost in the ether, a bit like Yang’s input on UBI.

@Carolina Red i think this was a Yale law journal article made into a vox article for a wider audience. He might have meant this
Thanks for the explanation and the link! I get what he’s saying now, but agree that it isn’t something that is really gonna ignite a voter base to action. Some policy is best left unsaid until you’re in office, because it’s just not going to excite people.
I watched tonight with a Republican and he was very impressed with her.

I think Harris would beat Trump in a general election and I think she’s a real player in this one. Bernie Warren Harris Pete are my four to watch now. I can’t see Joe Biden getting it, not after tonight
My brother is a mainline republican and so was he. The old GOP attack of “weak on crime” can’t really be used against her, which then turns out to be a point that moderates and mainline GOP types respect about her.
 
And the most google searched candidate last night was....

I searched Williams last night because I had no idea who the feck she was

I searched Williamson because I figured she had to have better bikini pics than Tulsi given her free love background.

I was disappointed
 
Gillibrand was just awkward. Would just butt in and say nothing of substance for the most part
On a night where Kamala sounded like a leader, Gillibrand sounded like a suburban wine mom desperately craving attention. Hopefully it’s the last we’ll hear from her.
 
Tulsi is younger, lives in Hawai’i and surfs, and is very fit. I don’t know how you thought Williamson would produce better.

I phrased that far too polite. I meant I thought I'd find nudes.

Seriously though the Google searches are literally nothing more than the combination of 1) no one knows who Marianne and Tulsi are 2) for politicians they are/were attractive and 3) they had sound bites
 
I missed the debate but the Mrs told me Yang got feck all time and complained after that they turned his mic off at times. Is that true about his mic?
 
What if she’s for Medicare for all? Isn’t that Sanders main selling point?

She was for it, then pulled back and last night she was for it. I believe she said she was for it eventually.
The difference between her and Obama who won the Rust Belt is that Obama had that Charisma.

The question is can she carry the Mid-West.

Last night proved my belief that in the end it will be about policies. Harris never went after Bernie because the majority of the party is where he is.
Health Care
Living Wages
College Tuition
Social Security

To win, a candidate needs to address these areas realistically.

The Hill link I posted above says that he was claiming that. It is certainly fishy and I wouldn't put it past them. I know Yang can come off nerdy, polite, and vanilla, but the guy loves talking and it was strange to see him so quiet.
