Democrats Kicking  Butt In Day Two Debate

The Democrats are having a lively and informative debate on the second night. All 10 of these people would be a vast improvement over Donald Trump. 

So far I would say Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders are leading the charge. Marianne Williamson of all people, is also kicking right wing behind. 

This debate is what we're talkin about !

All ten of these people are doing well, it is hard to choose between them.

I'm surprised you'd gush so openly about a party that has, in the words of the House Progressive Caucus a "child abuse caucus" and according to the Chief of staff of AOC has members in Congress who want to treat black and brown people the same way southern democrats did in the 40s.

Problematic!

You are trying to sow division among Democrats, lol.  I don't think too may Democrats care about your analysis of their candidates.

Did a Democrat al least pull a Julian Castro and get a nice Jewish lady to teach them how to speak a few word of Spanish so they can sound authentic?

That’s how you win!

Democrats do a good enough job of showing division amongst themselves on their own. They don't need anybody on the right to do that!jrSmiley_86_smiley_image.gif

What are you trying to say?  The southern Democrats of the 1940s were avowed racists who tried to deny non-whites equal rights.

Which democrats are racists?

Ask AOC’s Chief of staff. His words.

Thanks for admitting they were Democrats.

Those racist southern democrats let the party because they felt betrayed by the civil rights movement and Johnson signing the Equal Rights Act.  The south switched from blue to red between 1950 and 1996. The racist south is now a republican stronghold.

I agree with him. Blue Dog democrats (center/right democrats) do tend to tolerate racism that liberals or progressives do not. They aren't full on racists but they are also not progressives like Bernie, Liz or Pete. Given Hillary's previous stances on social issues such as LGBT rights and race, I would consider her to be a Blue Dog democrat and not a progressive or a liberal.   Those blue dogs would have been moderate Republicans 50 years ago.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff deleted a tweet that compared Democrats belonging to the Blue Dog Caucus to the white, southern Democrats of a bygone era.
"Instead of 'fiscally conservative but socially liberal,' let's call the New Democrats and Blue Dog Caucus the 'New Southern Democrats.' They certainly seem hell bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did the 40s," Saikat Chakrabarti tweeted.

The idea that none of these people could hold their own on a debate stage with Donald Trump is nonsense. From what I see, all of them could stomp him , and will. 

Very impressive night for the Democratic Party.

The only thing I dont like about this is that they have almost completely ignored Andrew Yang. Anyone who qualified for the debate should be given a chance to speak.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree with Donny Deutch - "In my heart of hearts I didn't see anyone there who could beat Donald Trump."

He said that about last night's debate. I doubt he will be saying the same thing about this second one.

I know and I'm saying it about tonight's debate. You don't have to take me so serious, I'm not the President. It's a good thing for many that I'm not!

Donald Trump was a game show host. 

Whats wrong with being a writer? 

I dont think she's quite qualified to be president, but then neither is Trump.

I don't think she stood out. I do think Kamala Harris helped herself tonight

All the candidates raised their hands to give illegal aliens health care. That will hurt them all in the general.
