I was able to watch the last hour of the debate.  Elizabeth was on fire -- she was great.  Bloomberg certainly didn't know what hit him!  I especially liked how Warren defended Klobuchar after Pete kept hounding Amy about forgetting the name of the Mexican president. 

I really pray that Warren comes out in front, but I fear that she might be ahead of her time.  Then again, maybe it has more to do with how the media drives public opinion?  I'm not sure.  What do you all think?

Warren is one of my favorites in the Dem candidate race but you kind of have to ask yourself if anything that took place in last nights debate actually matter, even as interesting as it was. Meaning alot of the candidates have been defined by they platform with the exception of Bloomberg or as i like to call him, Bloomer. I think most dems know who they are going to vote for during the primaries and you'll see alot of candidates drop off the race by the first and second week of march ( tulsi, Steyer, maybe even Amy and Biden). 

In every election the candidate that promises the most change is generally the one to win the election this was true for Obama in 2008 and Trump in 2016.  Right now, the ones representing that change are Bernie or Pete, both are the boldest opposites of Trump. 

Its a shame that Warren has been losing support until yesterday, she deserves the win.

BTW, I do recognize that its still too early to say but this does shine a positive light into the outcome of the 2020 campaign.

Hopefully democratic participation will stay strong.

for those that say TLDR: article basically states blue wave rising in cities and conservative momentum in rural areas waning.

Warren skewered Bloomberg last night. It was brutal and he never saw it coming. His sexism is what led him to walk right into it unarmed, which is beautiful irony. He expected one of the men to go after him on stop and frisk-most likely Biden. He never saw it coming from some weak old woman who would never stand up to him. Right out of the gates she took him on and never let up. It was pretty clear to me also that if she gets the nomination, Klobuchar will be her VP pick. I like that situation a lot. Amy has her demons but as VP she can work thru them and then take over in 2024 or 2028. Bernie and Buttigieg look like they are going to destroy each other battling for first and I definitely see a path to victory for Warren or Klobuchar now. Bloomberg is done. It doesnt matter how much he spends, Warren painted him as Trump 2.0 and any misogynistic voters out there that might be intrigued lost all respect for him when a woman took him out with perfect precision last night.
