Watch live:
Reactions and other things:
It’s all sad, really:
This debate is happening in an alternate universe. Filibuster? Term limits? Qs about basic platform positions? It's as though the Democratic Party is not on the edge of a Sanders runaway – and as though the moderators were not aware the primary did not start yesterday #SCDebate

Biden was touting his experience with the Swine Flu:

Biden is Bidening:
Joe Biden getting a little too prissy for his britches: "I will win South Carolina."

You knew this was coming:
This debate is a 6 on 1 attack on Bernie Sanders.
There’s a decent chance Bernie will yell “I’ll see you in hell!”; throw down a smoke grenade and disappear into a cloud of vapor.

Klobuchar is staring down Mayor Pete. Again. Which seems a silly strategy at this point:

She’s done.
15 minutes in and @amyklobuchar hasn’t said a word. #PresidentialDebate

Can't wait til Klobuchar says to dance like no one's watching…

Though probably unintentional:
Klobuchar laying out a good, tough case against single-payer healthcare.

7 white candidates talking about racial justice is exactly what you’d think it would be:
Now we're in the "I know black people" part of the #DemDebate

I’m early by a day, but i’ve given up watching dumpsterfires and excessive schadenfraude for Lent.
Hope someone in the audience brings this up as one of their questions.
Bloomberg called Warren ‘scary’ and vowed to ‘defend the banks’ in closed-door 2016 event (Video included.)

MUST SEE.

Pete is a Hussein ? stooge

He’s just as lame, too.
What a collection of mediocrity coupled with incredibly bad ideas.
The emasculated male makes for lousy leadership. ESPECIALLY when they’re as stupid and malignant as obama or butthead.
Tonight Butti . . . also stole Obama’s line about going back to the 50’s.
I’m hoping they ask bernie about his rape fantasy writings. That should make for good times on television.
Kemberlee Kaye, let us know when the Dems start telling how some of their friends are Black people.
FYI
Republicans Flip Democrat Seat (while the DEMS Debate)
Republican Richard White won a special election Tuesday night in eastern Kentucky.
The seat was left vacant by Democrat Rocky Adkins…
https://www.wsaz.com/content/news/Richard-White-wins-House-seat-to-represent-parts-of-eastern-Ky–568191341.html
White had 4,750 votes to beat Democrat Bill Redwine who received 3,731 votes in the special election.
That seems pathetically low
It was a “special election.”
Let me see if I can find out how long the DEMS held that seat.
The DEMS held that seat for 33 YEARS!
That district voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
President Trump is correct:
Big Story, Big Win – Except in the Fake News, which won’t cover it!
President’s retweet of:
Ronna McDaniel
✔
@GOPChairwoman
BIG WIN in Kentucky House District 99.
It’s a district Democrats held for 33 YEARS, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by double digits, and one the Democrat governor carried in 2019.
But tonight, Republicans flipped the seat!
More dislikes than likes on the youtube feed. No comment section? That sucks.
I’m watching this train wreck of a debate. Norah and Gayle are awful awful awful and have zero control over who talks when, so much so Joe had the best line so far saying something like “I guess if you want to talk you just jump in and talk over your allotted time”. He got a huge applause.
Bloomberg officially sucks. They do not want him as candidate.
Did Bloomberg really just slip up and say something like
“I bought those 41 House Seats?”
Too good not to pass along:
Blue says: This is the first dem debate I have forced myself to watch. I watch all of President Trumps rallys.
This is a bunch of white people acting racist.
It really is the plantation. Why can’t everyone be called Americans? I am so offended by these people.
Mini Mike did! Mini Mike did!
He did say that. Confirmed in today’s House GOP leaders’ press conference. Go to about 20 minutes into it.

Watching this is a hoot … on my 2nd bowl of popcorn.
Tell you what.
Joe Biden is having no malarkey Today. Not on his watch.
He won’t put up with any shenanigans either. No mention of Bernie’s houligans though. I guess “tá sé toirmiscthe”.
I wonder if clown car is big enough of a farce venue for these people. I think it entered the Three Ring Circus stage.
Narcissist Bloomberg, White Obama Buttigeig, Olive Oyl legs Klobuschar, Biden or the other Biden, Squaw Liawatha, Comrade Castro Sanders, Simpleton Steyers. Who would serious think any of these would make a good choice for any public office, let alone President?
Bloomberg said wed have naked dancing cowboys everywhere. What’s that mean?
He said he didn’t want a Naked Dancing Cowboy everyone.
There is a street artist called “Naked Dancing Cowboy” in NY, though he is not really naked. He just looks like it.
Sorry I meant everywhere not everyone.
Well in that case I absolutely agree with this policy position. In fact this is the best policy proposal I’ve heard so far.
Vote Bloomberg. No Naked Dancing Cowboys.
Heard Bloomberg’s voice on an ad today. He sounded like the exact voice I would expect out of that little puppet boy meme of him where he is superimposed over the face of the baby that Trump was holding.
Also, leave it to Bloomy to think that a NYC specific meme like the Naked Cowboy plays that well to the rest of the country. Not only is it extremely dated, but no one outside of that city even connects with it.
Where does Mini Mike think he is?
40 years ago in New York?
Noones gonna ask Joe how much money his kid pulled out of China?
Crikey, another one?
Anyone got the ‘nads to ask Slow Joe about his newest grandson? Didn’t think so.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand Trump wins another democrat debate. He’s been on a yuge winning streak. Something like 120 to 0 fans.
The other team seems to be in a fog and swings at all those pitches in the dirt. They look like golfers instead of baseball players Curt.
Anyone else getting annoying “flash player” out-of-date pop ups??
The left is now more excited about corona virus hurting PDJT than they are about the chances of their candidates in an honest heads up general election. Every dem debate is worse than the prior debate, which defies the laws of nature. What a time to be alive!
So I take it I didn’t miss anything important.
Kemberlee: Thanks for watching so I didn’t have to.
“A lot of people think that [coronavirus] goes away in April, with the heat that comes in” – Donald Trump
Methinks it goes away now since we’ve discovered the DEMS
COLLUDING with the COMMUNIST on it!
SNARK!
