Re: But cept that was what made it affordable-ish

I watched almost all of it. Here's my take.

The Big Three:

-Biden: the worst of the three by far. He looks old (has he had plastic surgery or was that just his bleeding eye?) and is out of ideas. His whole strategy last night was to say "I'll be Obama 2.0". Not going to win a general election for you old man.

-Sanders: I admire him for sticking to his guns on healthcare and democratic socialism. He is what he is. For me, he's the most personally likable of the three but he's too much of a one-trick pony.

-Warren: Too political. All she had to do on healthcare was say "Yes, I will raise taxes but in doing so it will lower overall costs, here's how." Instead, she did the politician thing and didn't answer the question on raising taxes. Still, if one of these three has to be the nominee as decided by the Central Committee (DNC), I guess she's the best.

The Seven Dwarves:

-Klobuchar: Competent, didn't have any gaffes, but nothing there to excite voters.

-Booker: VERY good. If he would let go of Trump bashing and just be himself, he'd have a chance. He was great when he made the "no" translation joke and talked about realistic healthcare options and gun violence. I actually liked him, other than his opening remarks, last night.

-the gay dude (can't spell his name, ain't gonna look it up): A lot like Klobuchar, competent, sharp, and a little more appealing. But he's gay. It ain't happening for him.

-Harris: OMG. I cannot stand her. DJT would clean her clock. But she is so grating. Ugh.

-Beto: Won the night for me. DA-YUM. I admire anyone with the bawz to say "Hail yes, I will take your guns". It won't get him elected, but I loved the mix of passion and intellect. His best night yet.

-Yang: Train. Wreck. Looked like a deer in the headlights after his opening salvo of a free $1,000.

-Castro: A lil'banty rooster! Went AFTER old Biden. DAY-UM! But otherwise, not very appealing.

Moderator: What responsibility do you think that Americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country?

Biden: Well they have to deal with the an... the uh... look, there is institutional segregation in this country. And from the time I got involved I started dealing with that. Redlining. Banks. Making sure that we were in a position where...

Look, we talk about education. I propose that what we take is those very poor schools, the title one schools, triple the amount of money we spend for fifteen to forty-five billion a year, give every single teacher a raise to the equal or raise of getting out the uh the sixty-thousand dollar level.

Number two: Make sure that we bring in to the help the the stu... the the teachers deal with the problems that come from home. The problems that come from home. We need... We have one school psychologist for every fifteen-hundred kids in America today. It's crazy!

The teachers are econ... I'm married to a teacher. My deceased wife is a teacher. They have every problem coming to them. We ha make sure that every single child does in fact have three, four and five year olds go to schools. School. Not daycare. School.

We bring social workers into homes with parents to help them deal with how to raise their children. It's not they don't wanna help. They don't want they don't know quite what to do. Play the radio! Make sure the television the... excuse me... make sure you have the record player on at night. The the the phon... Make sure the kids hear words! A kid coming from a very poor school a ve ve very poor background will hear four-million words fewer spoken by the time they get there.

There's so much we...

Moderator: Thank you Mr Vice President

Biden: No no... I'm gonna go like the rest of them do, twice over, okay?

Because... Because here, here's the deal. The deal is that we've got this little backwards and by the way, in Venezuela we should be allowing people to come here from Venezuela. I know Madura. I've confronted Madura.

Number two: You talk about the need to do something about Latin America. I'm the guy that came up with seven-hundred-and-forty-million dollars to see to it those three countries in fact change their system so people don't have a chance to leave. You're all acting like we just discovered this yesterday! Thank you very much!

Mayor Pete's public option addresses this. The difficulty

And that shows that Obama was hoodwinking

You talking about the MIT econ guy?
