11:00<\/b> On to the Daily Show<\/i>. (Or not, it appears that they are running reruns of of South Park)
10:57<\/b> Sanders goes back to being Sanders in his closing statement. Sanders implacable positions are his strong point. Even of they disagree, voters liek consistency.<\/p>\n
10:57<\/b> Someone is heckling Joe Biden. I cannot understand what they are saying.<\/p>\n
10:53<\/b> We have the candidates recite memorized statements. Meh.<\/p>\n
10:52<\/b> Closing statements.<\/p>\n
10:49<\/b> Advertisement break. I am completely sh%$ faced.<\/p>\n
10:48<\/b> Chuck Todd asks about brokered convention. Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he? MRDA.<\/p>\n
10:46<\/b> Klobuchar is pissed off at Buttigieg. So am I.<\/p>\n
10:43<\/b> Buttigieg notes that Klubuchar was the Democrat most likely to support Trump judges. That will leave a mark.<\/p>\n
10:42<\/b> Klobuchar invokes 99 year old Hispanic veteran. Pander much?<\/p>\n
10:40<\/b> This is clearly the most contentious debate so far.<\/p>\n
10:33<\/b> Another ad break.<\/p>\n
10:29<\/b> Warren may have had the line of the night, “We cannot be friends with Mitch McConnell.” It is a winning line.<\/p>\n
10:29<\/b> Biden has clearly decided to go after Bloomberg’s wealth. It’s a good tactic,<\/p>\n
10:27<\/b> Sanders is accused of being a socialist. Take a drink. Sanders notes that the rich get plenty of socialism.<\/p>\n
10:22<\/b> I am completely sh%$ faced.<\/p>\n
10:21<\/b> Buttigieg invokes that he is not a millionaire. AGAIN<\/b> Take a drink.<\/p>\n
10:21<\/b> The fact that the candidates have to f%$#ing raise their f%$#ing hands to get recognized if f%$#ed up and sh%$.<\/p>\n
10:18<\/b> Bernie Sanders notes that Billionaires pay less in taxes than their secretaries, and Bloomberg takes umbrage, despite the fact that his lobbying led to this.<\/p>\n
10:14<\/b> Vanessa Hauc asks about how rolling back Trump’s give away to mega corps and billionaires will somehow or other hamper small businesses. What the f%$# is wrong with you?<\/p>\n
10:11<\/b> Mayor Mayo is claiming that the problem is the two most polarizing people on the state (Sanders and Bloomberg). This is the least inspiring chant of Kumbaya ever.<\/p>\n
10:09<\/b> Biden calls for prosecuting polluting executives. I don’t believe him, but this is a good talking point.<\/p>\n
10:04<\/b> Sanders is challenged on his call for a fracking ban, and he comes right back to the questioner, saying that anthropogenic climate change is a moral issue and a crisis, and there can be no compromise. This is actually playing to Sanders’ strength, because he gets to show how he is not going to kowtow to lobbyist.<\/p>\n
10:02<\/b> Warren is challenged about her call to end drilling and mining on public lands.<\/p>\n
10:00<\/b> Bloomberg calls for rejoining the Paris agreement.<\/p>\n
9:59<\/b> Climate change is the next subject. Biden is asked first, and his response is largely word salad. Take a drink.<\/p>\n
9:57<\/b> Captain Morgan’s rum is like drinking perfume.<\/p>\n
9:56<\/b> No insurance funded anti-M4A ads. I am surprised.<\/p>\n
9:53<\/b> Ad break, and I am drunk.<\/p>\n
9:52<\/b> Biden is now begging to have some questions thrown his way. Take a drink.<\/p>\n
9:50<\/b> Klobuchar calls Buttigieg a loser. (His disastrous Indiana Secretary of State campaign) Hah!!!! Drink.<\/p>\n
9:48<\/b> Calling out Klobuchar not being able to recall the President of Mexico is bullshit, and I HATE<\/b> Klobuchar.<\/p>\n
9:47<\/b> Sanders notes that Bloomberg wanted to cut social security and ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED<\/b> for Bush in 2004. Good point.<\/p>\n
9:45<\/b> Biden notes that Bloomberg could release them this moment. Nice hit.<\/p>\n
9:42<\/b> Oh, snap. Warren’s response, “Bloomberg’s defense is that I’ve been nice to SOME<\/b> women.” Calls for Bloomberg to release the women from the non disclosure agreement. Blood drawn, and Bloomberg is sounding awfully snippy.<\/p>\n
9:39<\/b> Bloomberg is challenged on his refusal to release his tax returns. His response is, “We’re working on it, but it will take a while, until after most of the delegates are allocated.” Asshole. Take a drink.<\/p>\n
9:35<\/b> The shot at Bernie on his health status. What Sanders has released is a detailed description of health status.<\/p>\n
9:33<\/b> Klobuchar is confronted on her refusal to investigate police misconduct and the case of of a highly dubious conviction. She shucked and jived on this.<\/p>\n
9:31<\/b> Warren notes that “Stop and Frisk” was intended to terrorize peoples of color, and that Bloomberg’s apology was profoundly insincere\/<\/p>\n
9:29<\/b> Bloomberg is still defending, “Stop and Frisk.” He claims that he stopped it when it got out of hand. HE DID NOT<\/b>. As Biden notes, Bloomberg was FORCED<\/b> to abandon the policy, he fought dropping the policy tooth and nail. Point Biden.<\/p>\n
9:26<\/b> Biden notes that Bloomberg called Obamacare a “Disgrace”. Good point, but Biden is largely invisible.<\/p>\n
9:26<\/b> Warren went after Klobuchar’s plan, and notes that it constitutes only 2 paragraphs.<\/p>\n
9:24<\/b> Sanders notes that we are the only industrialized nation that does not have public health system. Drink.<\/p>\n
9:22<\/b> Klobuchar’s claiming Post-It Notes for Spain<\/strike> Minnesota is kind of amusing.<\/p>\n
9:19<\/b> Warren (IMHO correctly) accuses of Buttigieg and Klobuchar of having phony healthcare plans, sand makes the point that take the wins and move forward. (Not unreasonable) I like her description of Klobuchar’s plan as a “Post-It Note”.<\/p>\n
9:16<\/b> Amy Klobuchar claims that nominating a woman will end misogyny on the internet, because that worked so well in 2016. That level of stupid is worth a double.<\/p>\n
9:14<\/b> Buttigieg accuses Bernie of fomenting nastiness on the internet. Seriously? Twitter is a f%$#ing cesspool, and the “Bernie Bros” is a fraud.<\/p>\n
9:11<\/b> Colloquy between Sanders and Buttigieg, and Buttigieg restates Bloomberg’s republican talking
points about Medicare for All. Take a drink.<\/p>\n
9:09<\/b>: Buttigieg makes the point that Bloomberg is not a a real Democrat. Touche.<\/p>\n
9:07<\/b>: Biden says that he polls best, so he should be the nominee. Meh. <\/p>\n
9:05<\/b>: Klobuchar piles on too, goes with her, “I’m the only heartland-American here,” schtick. Drink.<\/p>\n
9:02<\/b>: First question, to Sanders, “Why won’t Bloomberg be the moderate who can beat Trump?<\/p>\n
Sanders response, “You need turnout, and Mayor Stop and Frisk won’t drive turnout.”<\/p>\n
Bloomberg, “Medicare for all, is taking people’s insurance away.” Bullsh%$.”<\/p>\n
Warren unloads a can of whup ass, and notes that Boomberg has said a lot of Trumpesque misogynist sh%$. Take a drink.<\/p>\n
9:00<\/b>: Introductions. <\/p>\n
8:59: I am doing rum (Captain Morgan’s) and coke. <\/p>\n
