Debate is lit! Gloves off!

Oppo dropping like meteors

Holy crap Betsy, dropping bombs on Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Bernie!

"Amy's plan is like a Post-It note. Insert plan here." Lololol

Bloomberg a nonfactor.

Angry Liz is bad Liz. Doesn’t pull it off.

Yeah. I appreciate the shakeup. She's got to do something.

What's the true net +/- of Medicare for All?

This is a good overview. The short answer is it depends entirely on how you ask the question and the information you give respondents. http://files.kff.org/attachment/KFFSinglePayerChartpack ↗

Bloomberg feels timid and weak. Smirking at every criticism. Unlikeable.

I like angry Betsy. She just destroyed Bloomberg on the nondisclosure release.

For a ruthless capitalist he sure likes getting publicly owned

He had a good answer on climate though.

Mike getting his sea legs

Maybe. He's still not likeable.

Absolutely not likeable. Did like the dig on Bernie though.

Let Amy talk! Thank you.

Interesting! Guessing Bloomberg is wishing his was 0:00

Bloomberg looks like Trumps twin

The contempt is palpable

I usually don’t watch this stuff in any capacity and didn’t watch a lot but man they all seem insane to me lol.

@kjayhawks I enjoyed watching Bloomberg get blown out of the water. Thought Warren won the debate, then Bernie. Buttigieg and Klobuchar nullified each other. Felt bad for Amy. Pete was kind of a d---. Maybe Biden did ok in that he didn't do anything good or bad. The talking heads think he did well. I hardly notice him.

Predicting the Nevada caucus. As @FarmerJayhawk has said, Culinary has been promoting "anyone but Bernie" because they don't want to give up their union insurance. Here's my pros and cons trying to make sense of who will win:

Bernie:
- Double digit lead in polls
- Says he will not give them something worse if he replaces their union insurance
- Has the most traction with latinos (Culinary is 50%+ latino and mostly women)
- Might turn out enough people outside Culinary (but Culinary has 60k members in a state that typically has 80k vote in caucus)
- Oppo is making a smear campaign out of "Bernie Bros" tweets, propagating that message among the latino community.

Biden:
- Has traction with minorities as well
- Doesn't threaten their healthcare
- Presumably not as impressive talking to people

Amy:
- Also a moderate, in some cases Culinary workers being interviewed are barely remembering the names, but voted for Joe and Amy because they are moderates.
- Caucus format allows people to vote for multiple candidates

Warren:
- Warren's strong performance will be spoiled by Amy. If this splits the educated female vote, it will sink them both. But she's still being touted as a progressive (that being a bad thing) and I think this will ultimately keep her momentum in check in Nevada.

Buttigieg:
- His campaign's support may be less volatile than the others in Nevada. A stable block in the low 10s.

I believe Bernie, Biden and Pete will be the top 3, with Warren and Amy cutting into each other's support, and it will be much closer than the double digit Bernie lead the polls are indicating. There are people who love Bernie who will vote with the union against him.

And Bloomberg...? Does this mean the debate makes him a non-factor?

@bskeet bloomberg is a factor in that by bombing he's given Biden more life in Nevada.

And Bloomberg isn’t on the ballot in NV or S.C. If this holds, brutal for Klobuchar and Warren 🐦 View Tweet?s=21

Bernie is obliterating the field. At this point I can’t see a path to the nomination for anyone else.

Contact in Iowa tells me Pete might be done after Super Tuesday. They aren’t getting close to their money goals and may not break double digits in most states moving forward.

At this point Warren needs to drop out as well. She is toast. I guess it’s down to Bernie and Biden but not sure it’s much of a battle.

I’m not going to say Bloomberg is dead until we see how he does Super Tuesday, but I think his only real shot is at the convention.

Feel the Bern.

At least one young candidate needs to stay in the race in case all the old guys keel over.

The people cry out for Bill Clinton (who’d be about the median in age among top tier candidates)

What’s happens if Medicare for all doesn’t pass in Congress? Any fall back plan?

@Crimsonorblue22 the thing about all of this is that the proposed plan never goes through. Soo we need to start as close to his plan as possible. The billionaires would never be okay with it. Hell look at Bloomberg literally throwing away money to try and beat Bernie. Rest assured of Bernie gets the nomination (looking more likely) ole Bloomy will spend billions in anti-Bernie ads.

Public option. But Republicans likely hold the Senate and probably pick up seats if Bernie is the nominee. He has very short coattails down ballot considering he’s never actually done anything for the Democratic Party.

He literally just said he’d support Bernie over Trump.

@FarmerJayhawk Look he's going to spend the money, it won't be traceable. STAY WOKE.

As of now only Bernie, Biden, and Pete get delegates from Nevada. Not clear Pete gets any when the dust clears. If Biden wins S.C. by a good margin (Double digits-ish) we’ve got 3 left going into Super Tuesday.
