Democratic Debates

For me, the first Democratic debates were mainly a time to snark and read snark online, but to the degree it mattered: Booker was combative, Warren was pretty good, Castro shone, O'Rourke looked unprepared, Buttigieg was decent, Harris slayed and Biden (who Harris targeted, especially on busing) looked rather bad. Various others should, along with "Beto," just go. Klobuchar and Gillibrand didn't move the needle. And, Chuck Todd was an ass.

We have the "tsk tsk" about debating busing, how unpopular it was etc., but BIDEN is the one who got us here both for his record and bringing up good times with segregationists. Doh! The spin is a broad group likes him, but the controversy is rather expected and he handled it lousy. He repeatedly does. People like me are strongly against him for a reason. And, repeatedly, there is a feeling he is kinda tired. Old. Sanders should go too but he is at this like a lively old radical full time, basically. Biden is basically in semi-retirement.
