The Democratic debate #3 discussion (Without videos)
Some need to bow out now and they need to start thinking about who stays around as a VP candidate.
I think Harris is definitely scoring points by constantly going after Trump.
Bernie sounds unhealthy. And angry. Bernie needs to drop out.
Michelle. Call me.
Wonder if even in this 3rd debate, any questions will come up about any women's issues. Not a peep out of anyone on any social media that funds are now withheld from Planned Parenthood and any other women's clinic that even tells women where to go for an abortion.
Just got no coverage anywhere. Planned Parenthood did not agree so they lost their funding.
At least one question would shed light on the topic.

Cory and Julian are the only candidates who advocate for the humane treatment of animals. Lots of dems still in the hunting crowd
Cory's temperament is so appealing after the mean spirited creature in the WH. I don't want anymore shouting.
I am watching the debate with my doggies. They like Mayor Pete. And they're ******* brilliant.
Warren has the perfect combo of wonkiness and enthusiastic optimism. She just might go the distance.

Oh yea, well Warren has my cats purring.
Good retail politician. Joe is generous with compliments first to Beto, now to Pete. He's shopping for a VP.

Can anyone point out Biden's gaffes so far?
No gaffes. Just scattershot, firehose responses. Doesn’t sound smart like Mayor Pete.

I think Joe admires Mayor Pete. I noticed the two talking after the first debate with Joe putting his arm around Pete’s shoulder.
Hmm...
Here we go @jamie, the vegan question! Drink!
And tie it into climate change! Yes Cory! Live your philosophy!
Go Vegan!
The Day After Tomorrow was a GREAT movie. I loved it when Dennis Quaid walked from Philadelphia to New York in one day during the biggest blizzard in history. I don't know how he did it but I was very impressed.

Not for me. She’s annoying me more and more. I understand we need to beat Trump as the ultimate goal but right now, we need to figure out who the best person to beat him is. The focus on Trump comes next.
- Take a shot the first time someone says “Trump” and then take sips after that. He will likely come up a lot, so don’t take shots after the first mention or you’ll be passed out within 15 minutes.
- Take a shot if someone takes a jab at another candidate who isn’t here tonight.
- Take a sip any time someone talks about Russia or Mueller.
- Take a sip if someone is cut off by a moderator or if a candidate interrupts another candidate.
- Take a shot if it looks like someone’s mic is turned off. Take two shots if Andrew Yang’s mic is turned off.
- Take a shot if someone talks in Spanish.
- Take a shot if someone talks about Hillary Clinton.
- Take a sip if anyone finds a way to plug their campaign website during the debate.
For specific candidates:
- Take a sip when Andrew Yang talks about UBI, $1,000, or automation.
- Take a shot if Andrew Yang talks about crowd surfing.
- Take a sip if Biden steps away from his podium and leans close to another candidate. Take a shot if he actually touches another candidate.
- Take a sip if Biden talks about Obama.
- Take a shot if Biden and Harris get in another argument.
- Take a sip if Harris talks about being a prosecutor.
- Take a sip if Bernie Sanders talks about traveling to Canada to buy insulin.
- Take a sip if Bernie Sanders talks about a “radical” idea (and uses the word “radical.”)
- Take a sip if O’Rourke is asked about his past, including his DUI or being in a band.
- Take a sip if Buttigieg talks about being in the military.
- Take a sip if Warren says “I have a plan.”
- Take a shot if Warren and Sanders hug.
- Take a sip if Klobuchar talks about fundraising.
- Take a shot if Buttigieg talks about Mike Pence.
- Take a sip if Julian Castro talks about his twin brother.
- Take a sip if Cory Booker talks about being vegan.
- Take a sip if Biden misspeaks.

Booker is winning tonight. Mayor Pete second.
But -1 for being a vegan.

Actually he’s pretty steady. More fight this time around than the last two debates. I don’t think he’s lost any ground.
Cory’s is standing out and surprisingly Amy K. too.
Cheap shot by Castro against Biden. The senior citizens are now up in arms. The first debate he attackEd both Biden and Obama. This time around, he gives kudos to Obama but continues to attack Biden. He should be going after a The clown in the White House.
Kamala is trying, but she sound a bit flat now. Smart move on her part to go after Trump. Guess she learned a lesson after the first and last debate.
The young folks in the audience love Yang and that free $1000!
Warren has some good points but the whole universal healthcare and how to pay for it, sounds unrealistic.
Mayor Pete, thoughtful and reasonable answers. He is a rising star.
OMG. There’s the headline tomorrow. Biden thinks we still use record players.
Way too aggressive. Not necessary as seemed quite biased against a few.
