I missed the debates last night but I guess Beto didn't use the F word like he does now in all his speeches...really disgusting.Did anyone watch last night? What's your opinion?

In my opinion Elizabeth Warren had the best overall performance. She has an excellent grasp of policy both foreign and domestic. While I like Joe Biden, one can clearly see his forte is foreign policy while he seems to falter a bit with issues of race and segregation although by no means do I think he is bigoted in any aspect. I like Biden but I don't think the debates have been that great for him.
Bernie Sanders whom I think has some good ideas does not energize crowds the way I think Warren has. He needs to learn to talk TO people and not shout AT them.
I think Kamala Harris would be an excellent candidate to debate Trump. She would easily show him to be the racist, homophobic, misogynistic moron he is and how little he knows of policy foreign or domestic. She would be the one to show the public that Trump is little more than a puppet being used by McConnell and the other "old boys" to further their agenda and his own accomplishment if you want to call it that, is tweeting vulgarities at anyone who disagrees with him.
Before the debates I was quite hopeful that Corey Booker would emerge as a viable candidate and while I find his speeches about racism and the perils his own people have faced quite moving, I think he falls shorts in other areas which make his overall performance a bit lackluster. The same can be said for Beto O Rourke. He is fantastic on the issue of gun control but the democratic nominee has to have a strong grasp and viable solutions for the myriad of problems plaguing our country, especially those made worse by the current administration.
Julian Castro should go ahead and drop out. He doesn't stand a chance given that his most notable showing was attempting to heave personal attacks on Biden and it turns out Castro even misspoke.
I am not impressed at all with Andrew Wang and I believe the only thing the public will remember about him is his offer to give 10 Americans $1000 a month for a year.
Amy Klobuchar made a pretty good case for the public option in healthcare and I found Pete Buttigieg's personal testimony about coming out quite moving and I thought he was right on point about the election being about the people and empowering them.
So that's my take on the debate for what it's worth.
