2020 Democratic presidential primary

Have the candidates been asked about the Evangelion subtitles controversy yet?

It's difficult to know whether the moderators believe their own outrage about 70 percent rates, open borders, and abortion for everyone; because it's NBC and MSNBC, I say their producers sound a lot like Nicole Wallace, Charlie Sykes, and "Morning" Joe.

watching the debate dubbed in spanish on telemundo atm and whenever beto/booker say something in spanish it is so jarring and hilarious

Gabbard scorns this "chicken hawk" Cabinet. I know what she means but. Also: EEE-Ran?

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

BORING!

hahahahaha

fuck him

no thanks

lol

i haven't watched much cable news recently. nbc is really bad!

legit funny Trump, really leaning into his character now

has Maddow asked a 2-minute RussiaRussiaRussia question yet

even this little commercial break trump approval breakdown by the dork who points at the large touch screen during elections. they need to fire whoever does their graphs and visual displays, they are permanently stuck in a 1996 episode of Dateline

So far, Booker is the breakout, but I don't see him competing with Warren and Sanders for the progressives.

LOOK OUT AMERICA. Chuck Todd's here.

So far, Booker is the breakout,

what crack are you on?

castro is the breakout if anyone

I don't see anybody breaking out

lol, there's been a line change on the debate moderators

chuck fucking todd and maddow are on the scene

oh my god

what the hell is happening

Microphone circuits malfunction suddenly when Chuck Todd approaches them.

hahahahaha

i am serious, THAT is one of my nightmares

Um. They may be laughing on stage, but as someone who’s been there, they are swearing like sailors in the control room.

he'd know

Looking forward to Donny’s take on this snafu

at 87, Dan remembers at least

the last couple years i did some freelance baseball audio gigs. every once in a while something fucking terrible would happen and a reporter's audio gear would just stop working, and it would be terrible. just humiliation as everyone angrily turns to you to fix it and it's gonna take a while to troubleshoot it. one time i even got yelled at by the main broadcaster guy, for a long time. it usually wasn't my fault, but the thought that it could and would happen at any time was so incredibly stressful, i had to stop doing it

Man I went to bed and missed the lineup change.
What I last saw was the edge guys speaking out of turn (?) and immediately getting shut down by the moderators.

everyone's answers to the gun questions will suck

fucking cowards

Classic Sparklepants answer:

I obviously disagree with everything Warren says, but she’s shown tonight why she’s leading the rest of the candidates on this stage

Rich Lowry is full of shit, I agree with everything Warren says, but other candidates have been stellar in this debate

I know Rachel Maddow's intention: she wants candidates on the record about packing the court. Booker blew it.

I like gabbards hair

Booker is doing a good job frankly, impressed me more than I expected.

I like booker’s hair too

no one replaced his larynx like the doll in Toy Story 4 did.

lol

most of the men in this debate have been just blaring and awful

lookit

Alfred, the dems are not going to pack the courts

How do you pack the court if you don’t have a majority in the senate? If McConnell is still majority leader and a dem is President and a seat comes open, it’s just not getting filled. I don’t see how you get around that.

I'm not watching but did Beto stand on the podium yet?

Yeah it’s a stupid question. Someone should have just said they’d have McConnell killed.

really disappointed that "Here's how we have that conversation in Texas" wasn't the setup for a "Texas belt buckle"

I thought Beto was great, Castro too

thanks chuck fucking todd for implying that putting a price on carbon is "politically impossible" in your question to the guy who just had his bike stolen, tim ryan

how does chuck todd have a job, who on earth likes this twerp

How do you pack the court if you don’t have a majority in the senate? If McConnell is still majority leader and a dem is President and a seat comes open, it’s just not getting filled. I don’t see how you get around that.

If you get a majority, you eliminate the filibuster.
