#2 Bernie is such an obvious communist that it's hard for me to believe that anybody would vote for him.

Bloomberg actually called Bernie a communist, actually used the word, which Bernie denied but not at all convincingly.

But Bloomingbird is diminutive in stature and he has a high pitched voice. Mrs. Uluque said that doesn't matter but I think it does whether voters are conscious of it or not. Besides, he's beholden to the Chinese.

"And most Americans don't see where they fit if they've got to choose between a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire that thinks money ought to be the root of all power. Let's put forward somebody who actually lives and works in a middle-class neighborhood in an industrial midwestern city. Let's put forward somebody who's actually a Democrat," Buttigieg said.

Not that I would ever vote for a Democrat, let alone the Booty Boy, but I thought that was one of the best lines of the night.

Maybe the party will split. That would be the best possible outcome.

If I had to hold my nose and choose one of them it would probably be Klobuchar. But when I look at her and listen to her I can't help remembering Hubert Humphrey so I can't believe she'll win.

#3 buttigieg had some great lines that he obviously rehearsed

however his smarmy demeanor and his attack on Klobuchar probably ruined any benefit from them

Apparently the moderators asked no questions about immigration nor about 'catch and release' of criminals nor about the AB5 disaster in California nor about why leftist cities have growing homeless populations. The next debate is scheduled for 25 Feb in SCarolina. The one after that is scheduled for 15 March in Phoenix, AZ.

#4 Abu, as a Minnesotan, I can tell you that if you vote for the Klob, you'll get Hillary, except without the adorable girlishness.

#5 Klobuchar was like the leper with the most fingers.

No need to ask any of these candidates about immigration. They all want open borders and they don't give a damn about the Mexican gang bangers or the cartels. They are OK with legalizing all of the drugs just like in LA and San Francisco. They just want more votes, dammit. They want massive apartment blocks all across the country to accommodate the newcomers and they don't give a damn what it does to existing neighborhoods. They want health care for the newcomers and they don't give a damn what it does to our taxes.

It was fun to watch them bicker among each other but chilling to think about any of them anywhere near the White House.

#6 "Klobuchar was like the leper with the most fingers."

I would have hated to have missed this quote.

#7 That moment when I realized Bootygig was flat cribbing the Obama delivery method.
