"Play ball" should be the real answer for them

"Dropping out and running for Senate" is what the real answer is for us.

Good dig by deBlasio towards all the Congressfolks about not actually bothering with war powers authorization.

10 people all screaming in unison "we need to fix some things, but at the same time we can't go too far."

CSPAM had a decent summary:

Pancakes posted:

To begin the night:

DeBlasio: Unpopular mayor, WTF are you doing here?
Ryan: Who?
Castro: Obama admin + Latinx
Booker: Sellout + Rosario Dawson + SQUATS
Warren: Professor DNA test
Beto: SEX CRAMPS
Klobuchar: lovely boss centrist
Gabbard: Crazy homophobe
Inslee: Single-issue climate change warrior
Delaney: Hates Medicare for All

After the debate:

DeBlasio: MY BLACK SON
Ryan: Who hurt you?
Castro: Slayer of Beto, most improved candidate
Booker: Started slow but recovered well, covered a lot of issues decently
Warren: Dominated early on economic issues then disappeared
Beto: RIP
Klobuchar: Boring centrist with nothing new to say except faux-folksy bullshit
Gabbard: ARE TROOPS
Inslee: Angry uncle who hates global warming
Delaney: Shut the gently caress up. You're out of your element.

Also Booker visibly psyching himself up to spit out a few lines in Spanish after Beto and Castro.

Copying my debate grades:

Warren: A-, nailed almost every question she was given, only downside to the debate was that they stopped asking her questions

Booker: B- those eyes will haunt me

Castro: B- had one niche but hit it hard

deBlasio: B- had some decent answers and some weak ones

Inslee: C+ like Castro he had one niche but didn't hit it as hard

Gabbard: C I really have nothing to say about her but she murdered Tim Ryan so that gets her some marks

Klobuchar: C- I don't actually remember any of her answers

Tim Ryan: D- got murdered by Gabbard

Beto: F- see me after class

Delaney: G for "Would have rather had the rotting husk of Gravel for entertainment purposes," also the only grade lower than an F

Warren was the only one who actually answered questions instead of diverting to whatever subject she wanted to talk about, which is probably why they stopped asking her anything.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

I’m not surprised at all but it was still weak as hell and really out of touch for every single candidate to go hard on the ~weapons of war~ angle and that only hunting and collecting (but not shooting!) is okay. Not a single person mentioned self defense, an increasingly urgent concern for the working class people they’re supposedly trying to refocus on, and the LGBTQ and minority communities.

Kudos to Warren for saying more research into the contributing factors needs to be done.

I think only one person even mentioned trying to fix the alienation in schools that incites most of the school shootings.

Nobody mentioned the right-wing terrorists though.

No mention of fixing holes in the background check system that let states just not report information into it, so people like that Air Force dude who got in trouble for being caught trying to sneak guns onto base after making threats to his command can’t continue to buy more after being convicted of disqualifying crimes.

A lot of the same old coastal elite policies that have been chasing away people for decades.

Holy poo poo everyone but Warren was just awful. I guess booker didn’t completely trip over his dick but he definitely sat on his balls.

I hope this leads to a bump for Warren. Tonight’s debate is gonna manage to be an even bigger poo poo show. Just watch.

I appreciated Warren not taking Chuck Todd's stupid loving bait of "BUT WOULD YOU SEIZE THE GUNS?"

It did far better than any preceding Dem senate campaign in Texas had in a long long time. His coattails helped a lot of down ticket races too, so it's still worth commending

Problem was, Beto misread that and thought running for president was the next logical step.

Yeah, that was a major mistake. I guess self-deception is a skill all these fuckers must have, because thinking they had a snowball's chance in hell of winning against someone like Warren or Biden or Bernie is "holy gently caress" levels of self-delusion.

Beto should've waited until the other Texas seat was up. Or he should've tried for a House seat. Dumb gently caress.

lol he was actually the US Rep for El Paso in a pretty safe seat and gave it up to run against Cruz. Taking a serious swing at the Senate wasn't a bad plan but then thinking that would set him up for a POTUS run was pretty nuts. I'm hoping Stacy Abrams takes note and doesn't torpedo her own political career trying to jump straight to the top in one go.

Kinda weak on the "are you gonna raise taxes?" 10 second followup though. Like, I am completely fine with my taxes going up to pay for that stuff, but you know they are all gonna leap on him for it.

Since he's an establishment Dem, and is probably trying to get centrists and peel away suburban Republicans, I say not at all.
