- moderator asks “in one word what’s the biggest threat to America” and pretty much nobody knows what “one word” means except for the dude who gave the super predictable obligatory “trump” answer met with uproarious applause
- there’s a couple parts where people just started speaking Spanish for no reason. I think maybe one of the questions was dual-phrased to be answered in Spanish, but booker and I think Beto just kinda launched into it awkwardly at a couple points
Plenty of roundabout politician answers. Booker and Warren still the front runners for this batch. Beto looked kinda bland and out of place. Castro was on point, but none of the others said or did anything to set themselves apart imo and should probably drop out ASAP
Gabbard is probably the best choice if the goal is to appeal to moderates but liberals will never support her because of her anti-gay past, and I definitely think they deliberately kept her time short
Bernie and Biden should be the main focus tomorrow

I watched it lol thanks for the recap though
I think Gabbard did well if you didn’t have high expectations for her. I like her and Yang so was hoping she’d be more aggressive about grabbing mic time like Castro did. Booker and Castro were strong. DiBlasio too. Warren didn’t need to do much. The Spanish stuff was cringey for Beto. Completely pandering. When Castro spoke Spanish he did so in a question that affects Mexican Americans which made perfect sense. Beto overall did awful and looked like a tool.
I don’t think the DNC nominee was at last nights debate
