I'm not sure how this debate is gonna shake out for everyone who isn't Bloomberg (who's a crater) or Warren (who will get a lot of good press) but I can say I'm pretty drat sure Sander's candidacy didn't take any hits tonight

Bernie stayed the course, I don't think he is going to gain or lose much here. Warren is probably going to gain some points, as she was a loving hammer in this debate. Klob will probably fall, which I think bodes well for Pete...sadly. Bloomberg well

They're immediately re-running the debate if anyone wants to watch Warren come out swinging.

Bernie is always solid during debates, the destruction of bloomberg was the goal tonight and goddamn did that happen spectacularly.

So based on the usual tendencies, Warren did good so they'll declare her the frontrunner suddenly and Bernie did good so they'll not mention his name. Got it.

I'm slightly worried that Warren will start to pull from Bernie's numbers. Best case is she starts to pull from Bloomberg and Bernie keeps rising too. I hate this whole process and I wish my brain wasn't broken.

Moderators asked if they're willing to vote against Bernie at the convention if he has the most delegates. They all said yes they will try to make someone else the nominee if that is that case. Also Bloomberg looked like a complete idiot as expected.

If Warren had been like this for the entire campaign, she might have pulled from Bernie. But spending six months triangulating and being a snake will have alienated leftist voters and her reputation has already alienated centrists. Unless she somehow swings a top 3 finish Saturday, tonight isn't going to be enough.

Sanders is projected to end the primary with a huge lion's share of delegates and the moderates are strategizing on convincing superdelegates the moderate position is the stronger one so Warren growing in support hurts Butt/Klob/Biden more than it hurts Sanders.

Has the candidacy ever gone to a candidate who wasn't ahead going into the convention?

Because holy poo poo if they do that I don't want to hear one loving word out of centrist assholes on FB blaming Bernie Bros.

Don't believe there's ever been a contested convention in the modern primary system (and front runners have lost at convention prior to that), but the only way we get to a contested convention is if some loser(s) breaks the usual protocol and refuse to get out of the race even after they're mathematically eliminated AND a substantial tranche of voters back those losers in a campaign whose only goal can be to destroy the Democratic Party.

She definitely is going to get some juice, but she burned that bridge to the left hard. A good debate performance isn't gonna repair that rift. Especially since she's been calling those same people assholes for the last couple of weeks.

I think Bernie stays the same, which is fine since he's, ya know, winning, but Bloomberg and Klob's deaths are gonna help Warren, I hope she doesn't get too much of a surge since.
