    I have no idea what her record is. She is the only candidate whose ads kept showing up in my conservative (not neocon) youtube streams which I found odd.

    All I could get off the net was antigun and antiwar (like, who isn't antiwar) so I think that is closer to anti-military. Probably open borders too. Like to know if she's on this "New Green Deal" too.

    Hmmm...I watched with others and we all agreed that Gabbard died a very quick death last night. She referred all back to her military background and wasn't able to discuss policy.

    "Google Trends tracked the number of times Americans looked up a candidate.

    Those trends showed that prior to the debate, Hawaii was only state where Gabbard was significantly googled.

    But after the debate, a wave of green (the color used to represent Gabbard for the purpose of analytics) swept the entire western half of the country, and then some."

    Imagine if she had had more than 7 1/2 minutes total time to speak!!

    That may well be. But I'm afraid it doesn't change my view of her and how she did.

    On the first night, I thought Castro was very strong. As was Warren. Last night, the one that did stand out was Harris. Not because she attacked Biden, but because she was very clear and focused in her responses. I went in not being a fan of Harris, but she turned me around.

    She was the only one who did herself any good but not for policy just personality. Gilibrand came off a grating and over bearing. Most everyone else as forgettable. Bernie would be crushed in a real debate with Trump. In fact most would especially with good debate moderators who would ask hard questions with hard follow ups.

    So, why were they turning off Yangs mic when he wanted to interject? Is that normal?

    Ok.. I have a confession.. I didn't watch them, except for the high and low lights I've seen in clips.. which is about all you need.. I hear Booker got a substantial amount of the time..

    I'll hear and read more as the day unfolds.

    Did anyone catch that last night when the mods were asking all the candidates what would be their first act as President Biden said to defeat Donald Trump. Fox just showed the clip. As President his first act would be to defeat Donald Trump............:icon_jawdrop:

    I think we should strip straight white men of everything they own and redistribute it to women and minorities so that we can all starve to death.

    Maybe it will be a very close race with lawsuits and recounts, so Trump will refuse to leave and they have to wrestle on January 20.

    And THAT's what Biden was talking about? REALLY? Leftist conspiracy theories? And the question was "AS PRESIDENT" which would be after any lawsuits and recounts. He couldn't come up with something so jumped on the canard or is losing it mentally.
