Asked what's the first and possibly only thing they'd do, Kamala says middle class tax cuts, and Bernie says take on the special interests. That tells you EVERYTHING. Kamala, while I like her, is another corporate liberal. Bernie is a true progressive. He never loses sight of what's important. That moment said EVERYTHING. There really is no one else to vote for. Bernie is by far the only one who has not bought in to corporate rule of our country.
Bernie's closing was the same. About what is fundamentally wrong and what change means.
Kamala did well, obviously. She was great on race. She kicked Biden's ass. She did a good job.
Mayor Pete was great, but if it's true that many African American voters won't vote for him, we can't afford his candidacy. He's young. He can wait a minute. I think he's amazing though.
Another good debate, I thought. I was never a big fan of Gillibrand, but she got my attention re standing up to Mitch McConnell.
I thought it was not a great night for Biden although he fought hard. His policies seemed -- and are -- behind the times. He looked old. Sort of strange really. Too much makeup?
Marianne Williamson is a trip, but I thought she made a great point about chemicals causing health problems.
I thought Rep. Swalwell did really well, especially on guns although Mayor Pete handled his defense well. A good showing.
But Bernie showed why he is the one to beat Trump and offer us a future, IMO.
