Are you up for a 3-hour Democratic candidates debate tonight?

Seems crazy. But we’re going to at least start to watch. The show’s on at 7 Central. Feel free to heckle and cheer in the comments.

ADDED: My son John is live-blogging.

THREE hours?
So, they're Intentionally making it unattractive, so that people Won't Watch?
strange!

Vindman Bros. fired and escorted from White House property!

Charlie Currie said...

Pre debate appetizer - Vindman twins and Sondland out. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Peter J. Brown to take charge of all U.S. efforts in Puerto Rico.

And, Friday's not over quite yet.

Yancey Ward said...

Were Bloomberg in this one, I might watch in the background, but no, I am not watching. Will probably check out Althouse Jr.s live blog if he does it tonight.

mockturtle said...

No, I thought I'd watch some paint dry, instead.

Yancey Ward said...

Damn it!!! I forgot to buy paint.

mccullough said...

Why isn't Bloomberg there? They couldn’t find a box for him to stand on?

Yancey Ward said...

Seven are in, right? Who gets the center spot, and who is to their right and left?

Yancey Ward said...

Bloomberg isn't contesting the NH primary is the reason he isn't in this one. He will be invited to the next one.

mccullough said...

Klobuchar should drop out. She came in last in Iowa.

This is the big time. And she is small time. A nobody.

walter said...

Romney there?

mccullough said...

After New Hampshire, we’ll be down to the Bs

mccullough said...

When are the other candidates going to acknowledge that Bernie was right. A woman can’t beat Trump. They can’t even beat Bernie

Yancey Ward said...

Bloomberg is going to learn a harsh lesson, though. By not contesting the first four states, he is going to find out that television ads are no replacement for winning or finishing second in a primary. Even with the massive debacle of Iowa, all the candidates were talked about in the news while no one really talks about Bloomberg.

Seriously, who even pays attention to political ads on TV? If they mattered, Tom Steyer wouldn't have been taken behind the barn and put down after Iowa.

Yancey Ward said...

Good, Jalcoh is liveblogging this affair. Saves me the time of watching it.

JML said...

What debate?

Big Mike said...

A woman can’t beat Trump.

If women really want to see a female President they need to get behind Ivanka in 2024.

If they are smart, they will poke and poke at Biden, irritating him more and more, in order to knock him out. He's the one on the ropes. Taking on Pete or the Bern or Fauxcahontas can wait.

Yancey Ward said...

The last polite debate I saw was briefs or boxers.

Yancey Ward said...

Can Joe Biden stay awake for three hours?

Laslo Spatula said...

"If women really want to see a female President they need to get behind Ivanka in 2024."

uh.

I am Laslo.

Mark said...

They can even cloak it in praise for old Joe. Saying how they are sure that there is nothing shady with his shaking down Ukraine and in his unqualified family member getting a ton of cash just because.

Yancey Ward said...

Damnit, my polite debate comment now makes no sense.

Yancey Ward said...

Yeah, I considered making a remark about getting behind Ivanka, too. I like to imagine her with a ponytail.

Jersey Fled said...

Ha Ha

Spellchecker changed "political debate" to "polite debate" in my just deleted post.

Now I lost my train of thought.

Big Mike said...

Biden hasn’t quit yet?

Mark said...

Because the best way to determine who is best for president is by 30-60 second soundbites.

Because snap answers play such a HUGE role in presidential action.

Limited blogger said...

Biden surrenders in his opening answer

Mark said...

So Clinton Boy takes a shot at Bernie, but not old Joe.

Sanders mumbles something and gets crazy cheers

Is Stefanopolos gonna be tough? We'll see

Mark said...

Yeah, I can't see or understand how "young people" would be so ga-ga for dinosaure Crazy Bernie.

Yancey Ward said...

Yes, Biden surrendered in the first comment.

Yet another reason I'm glad I don't have a tv. I will check in on John's live-blogging and the comments here but that's as close as I want to get.

Bernie and Steyer: The answer is GO-TV -- get out the vote.

So much for attracting people by having better ideas.

Limited blogger said...

Warren trying to amp it up even further tonight. Socialist shit disguised as good government

Yancey Ward said...

Amy Klobuchar trying to take credit for the fact that Minnesotans turn out to vote.

Romney there?


You know, that's Crazy Enough; That It Might Just Work!

The Democrats should nominate Mittens Romney !!!
If you add up:
The Automatic Democrat votes (dead, imprisoned, non residents)
The Standard Democrat votes (clueless, brain dead, senile people; like my dear old mom)
The Never Trumper, Life Long Republicans
Some of the female independent voters, who don't think it's fair Trump gets to grab 'em by the pussy
You MIGHT very well have more people than Trump

"Help Us, Obiwan Romney; you're our only hope!"

Mark said...

Warren: because that's want people want to hear -- bitch, bitch, bitch, everything is lousy, negative, negative, negative.

walter said...

Did Steyer just answer a question without mentioning climate change?

Mark said...

Warren: because that's want people want to hear -- bitch, bitch, bitch, everything is lousy, negative, negative, negative.

Limited blogger said...

Mayor Pete all about 'style'. Ok, guy is a genius. But I can't listen to his lecturing for 4 years.

Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan said...

I kind of agree with Yang that the socialist bogeyman doesn't mean much in our modern world, because it is largely irrelevant to the problems that we are going to face.

Mark said...

Pete has more than a bit of that Nixonian sweaty upper lip thing going on.

Yancey Ward said...

Climate change has charred so many South Carolinians, Steyer thinks he has 24% support from black people in the state.

Limited blogger said...

Bernie is a one trick pony. Ok, we get it pops, let's move on

walter said...

Snuffelopagous with the Pete assist: You mean Sanders?
Pete: Yes!

Mark said...

Bernie -- you bring people together by attacking others.

Yancey Ward said...

Warren attacks corruption, not once saying the word Biden.

Limited blogger said...

How did Old Joe get center stage?

Limited blogger said...

Joe is sleep talking

Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan said...

For a 78 year old guy who recently had a heart attack Bernie has an incredible level of energy.

walter said...

Joe bringin' energy.
Push-ups could happen.

Yancey Ward said...

The knives are out for Sanders here- Stephoclinton has made it a point to get the other candidates to go after Sanders by name, but Sanders is fighting back, and has the loudest supporters in the audience.

Limited blogger said...

Anger is an energy. I agree. But not sure what the anger is about.

tim in vermont said...

" because it is largely irrelevant to the problems that we are going to face.”

Yes, you guys always know what it is best to do today about the future that you predict which never comes.

“I don’t have a magic wand!” - Obama saying that we couldn’t bring back jobs.
“You can’t drill your way out of this!” - Obama saying that we would never be energy independent.

stevew said...

Not watching. I'm still stuck on the fact that only Iowa has happened (poorly executed, btw) and NH will be over by this time next week and a goodly number of candidates will be declared "DONE!". Why would I spend my Friday watching that shit show?

Yancey Ward said...

"How did Old Joe get center stage?"

He still leads the national polls.

Slow down Joe!! wow, he just burst out sprintin'

Biden attacking Sanders' Medicare for All plan with a lot of energy.

Yancey Ward said...

I will say this- so far, this is the most aggressive debate between the candidates on the stage.

Mark said...

Video feed went out!!

Damn. It came back.

Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan said...

Bernie is right, that we spend a ridiculous amount of money on health care. It is a giant tax on actual productive economic activity across the country. Bernie's plan is unworkable but things have to change if we are to remain economically competitive.

I think Bernie will die before Biden. Sometime in Trump’s second term. Unfortunately Trump will not be able to order the flag to fly at half staff since the hammer and sickle isn’t the US flag

Mark said...

we spend a ridiculous amount of money on health care

Well, telling the healthcare industry that we're going to open up the U.S. Treasury and give it free access to the money-printing machine is hardly the answer.

Yancey Ward said...

Poor Tom Steyer. You would think a 100 million dollars of ads could buy him some spot other the podium in the parking lot where Stephoclinton can safely ignore him.

mccullough said...

We certainly shouldn’t spend any tax dollars to keep septuagenerian communists alive.

Neither Joe or Bernie will live out the term.

Buttuvwxyz is the most polished of these people on the stage, but there is no passion there.

"Leave the politics of the past in the past" is polished and meaningless at the same time.

mccullough said...

Mayor Pete comes off the best among this sorry squad.

I can see why he’s doing so well. He’s like the social director of an old folks home.

While I disagree with Bernie's solution, he is right - we pay too much for too little and no one else does.

Bernie and Biden are older than the oldest Baby Boomer.

Warren comes off like a thin Hillary. What a harpie.

Klobuchar is the white girl Obana dumped for Michelle.

Well, you said his name YW, and off Steyer went.

According to Bernie, the American people want low-skilled people priced out of the labor market, and job creators taxed out of existence.

This crowd couldn't generate excitement in a bordello if they had a case of Tres Agaves tequila and a few dozen little blue pills.

Steyer mentions Snuffelopagous having worked in the Clinton campaign?
Gonna pay for that.

Two things I've been hearing my entire adult life (which began in 1975): federal deficits and rising healthcare spending are going to totally crater the economy and our standard of living. Always tomorrow, of course.

rcocean said...

Thanks to John for live blogging. BUT its absolutely insane that nobodies like steyer and yang are wasting everyone's time by attending the debate. They didn't get 5% in Iowa and they won't get 5% in New Hampshire.

Stop wasting our time with these losers. The debate should be Warren, Buttigig, Biden, Benie, and Klochblob. That's it.

Seeing Red said...

Buttigieg is the son of a Marxist professor, and a red diaper baby just like Obama.

And just like Obama, he hides it under a mountain of wonk-speak.

Yup

Yancey Ward said...

Tom Steyer finally gives up trying to get attention from Stephy, just interrupts and take control.

Mark said...

A kernel of truth/commonsense from Yang.

First appearance of either at the debate.

rcocean said...

Bernie is the only one telling the truth on health care.

Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan said...

Buttigieg is too smooth for me and I liked Obama.

Limited blogger said...

There's Yang. Making sense, but still invisible

stevew said...

Yeah, healthcare is going to kill us all.

Mark said...

Warren -- "no one is above the law."

(lame lukewarm applause in response)

rcocean said...

All the D's love Romney. He's a "Brave man".

mccullough said...

Why should Klobuchar be on the debate?

She’s not going to win anything either and finished fifth in Iowa

Let’s face it, it’s Bernie, Buttigieg, and Biden. No one else has a chance.

But Yang is way brighter than a Klobuchar and Steyer is way more accomplished. She’s totally worthless.

walter said...

Biden's leg hairs standing as Warren talks accountability.

Limited blogger said...

There's goes Warren with that forelorn affectation. Hate it.

Mark said...

Not as shrill as Hillary, but Warren's still quite annoying to hear for very long.

tim in vermont said...

"While I disagree with Bernie's solution, he is right - we pay too much for too little and no one else does.”

The problem with the Democrats' plans is that they think they can get the money by taxing the rich, when every other country that has a. single payer system finances it with regressive taxes, VATs, which are where the big money is. No Democrat wants to face that reality.

rcocean said...

I'm giving up. Everytime I look at the TV, i see Yang. Who cares?

Yancey Ward said...

Yang nails the entire field.

Mark said...

Crowd's getting tired of the call for Trump's blood.

tim in vermont said...

Plus when the UK and Canada nationalized health care, it was right after the war when all of the doctors were already in the employ of the government. There was no taking of hundreds of billions of dollars from private businesses and throwing hundreds of thousands of people out of work.

This lady asking tough questions!

tim in vermont said...

We need to look to countries with private systems that we think work better than ours. But you know, there are four hospitals in the US that do more medical research than the rest of the world’s hospitals combined.

Other countries let children die that we fight to save.

It’s just not as easy as saying we pay to much. We demand a lot, do Democrats think we demand too much from our health care system? They should say so then.

Illegal aliens, who work without labor protections and things like health insurance, but who must be treated anyway are another costly issue? Can we really insure anybody who comes here? Canada doesn’t do that. The UK doesn’t do that. Australia doesn’t do that.

FullMoon said...

The money would be better spent making our export industries more competitive or improving our schools or paying down the debt. The pharmaceutical industry and some medical device manufacturers create value, but most of the medical industry is a local service industry. It doesn't make the country more globally competitive and we shouldn't be paying a premium for that.

Yes, these deplorables with there lamentably poor genetics want a health care system that will keep the inevitable defective children they tend to breed alive. Don’t they see that other countries just throw those babies in the dumpster in the name of competitiveness? It’s a sad reality.

BTW, we are globally competitive. The limits on growth now are lack of employees since every person who wants a job has one. I don’t know what this fantasy economy is that you are talking about that is bigger than the US workforce.

It’s like you just say things that you haven’t thought through because they sound good.

The real problem that ARM has with the economy is that labor is getting expensive.

Black Workers’ Wages Are Finally Rising
After a decade of stagnation, black and African-American workers have seen pay increase. One man’s story shows the hope — and limitations — with that shift.


But when Mr. Mitchell looks around his relatively low-income and heavily black neighborhood, he worries that the rising tide of a strong economy has not been equally good for everyone in his community. And when it comes to his own labor market gains, he’s working hard to make sure they do not prove fleeting.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/business/black-unemployment-wages.html

You know how they could ensure that their gains are not “fleeting”? They could re-elect Trump and not go with one of these people with hair brained schemes to re-engineer an economy that is finally working for them.

Biden bragged about being part of the Iran deal which he declared ended Iran's nuclear ambitions and bragged about how he brought China into the Paris Climate Accord.

Iran never gave up nuclear ambitions, just arranged to get the US to provide updated nuclear technology and sanction relief in exchange for putting off nuclear bomb program for about five years. China and India gave no promises about cutting their carbon footprint, at least for a decade or two.

The Dem's believe that State Dept. and diplomacy will solve all military problems -- tell that to the Palestinians. Dem's believe Trump is a threat to NATO, yet only Trump has forced the NATO members to contribute $ to keep NATO in existence.

Can't wait until the debates with Trump.
