What a night. Wasn't sure if I was watching a boxing match or a debate. A few takeaways I saw last night from each candidate:
Tom Steyer: He didn't preform under the lights like I was hoping for. He means well, just doesn't have what it takes I think. I think his policies are a step in the right direction, but he got so out of whack when Biden called him out on funding private prisons. That ruined his entire plan of attack.
Amy Klobuchar: There is just no fight in her, other than when Pete called her out in Vegas for not knowing the name of the Mexican president. And she seems like a "me" person. Her only plan of attack on the stage last night was to say "I'm leading the bill for this" and "I'm leading the bill for that."
Joe Biden: He's done after Saturday, even if he wins. He's done. This guy went on national television and said that 150 million people have been killed since 2007. That would be half of the US population. He can't even get the endorsement of Obama, that says something about him IMO.
Bernie Sanders: I thought last night was a disaster for him. He's leading in the polls so everyone took shots at him and I get that but I just thought he got hit hard multiple times. Still no answer on how to pay for his plans or what they will cost (he actually said it would only cost 45 billion). His support of Castro didn't really come up like I thought it should or would but he still doubles down on it every time. That won't play well.
Mayor Pete: He's done as well. He's too nice of a guy to be the president. His intentions are there but he just needs to go be a congressman first as that is all he really cares about.
Elizabeth Warren: She should hang it up now. She flat out lied when she said she was fired from teaching because she was pregnant. That is 100% not true. She resigned from teaching when she became president. Big difference from fired and resigning.
Mike Bloomberg: It is official. He is literally only running for president because he wants to flaunt how much money he has. I was hoping for a bounce back debate and I thought it was equally as bad as the first. But he'll stay in the race and spend all his money instead of backing out and trying to back another candidate to beat Trump. Just shows that he only wants to flaunt his money.
Just my two cents here. Still a ways to go but its been interesting to say the least.
