The Hill's Morning Report - Warren cements front-runner status in first Dem debate
[The Hill] With most of the heavy hitters taking the stage tonight, Wednesday was a big opportunity for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the lone front-runner on stage, and she made the most of her chances throughout the two hour affair.

As Jonathan Easley writes from Miami, Warren delivered a strong performance. While she did not lead the pack in speaking time ‐ Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) paced the group -- Warren stayed above the fray as she delivered lines from her stump speech throughout and did not find herself caught up in back-and-forths with any of her fellow Democrats.

Even when other Democrats appeared to disagree with her, they declined to ding her by name, namely Booker and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Additionally, Warren was treated as the true front-runner on stage and was given the first question at the top of the first and second hours. By virtue of her center stage position, she also closed out the debate with her closing statement.

The debate was a culmination of a dream month for the Massachusetts Democrat, who has seen polls propel her to second place, neck-and-neck with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who will debate tonight.

Wednesday’s question-and-answer format, which produced only a handful of authentic debate exchanges, set the table for tonight’s marquee matchup featuring front-runner Joe Biden, who is campaigning as a civility Democrat, and Sanders, who says he needs to do a better job of explaining his definition of socialism to voters.

#1 Seems the Party is pushing Warren. The viewers think Tulsi Gabbard won.

#2 She should have 'won' that round, given that she was set up with no strong opponents and fed the most and the easiest questions.

#4 I'd like to hear some really tough questions, like "How many genders are there?" and "Do you accept that there is no god but Allah?"

#5 Gabbard is the smart, sensible one. She also looks and sounds genuine. No wonder the viewers like her, and why the corrupt DNC shall lean toward fake women. Genuineness just ain't their game. They only feel in control with completely made-up personas, puppets with a simulated voice and programmed ideas.

#7 "Won" as in the political machine set it up so she did. I guess they feel Biden has too many negatives and she is best set to beat Trump.
