How is it possible that enough people out there are unironically voting for Tom Steyer that it got him on stage tonight.
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) January 15, 2020
“Why are you best prepared to be Commander in Chief” is such a dumb question. It’s just an invitation to put out a live press release. These debates have all been like this, hence mostly useless.

*It's okay I was wrong on the Iraq War because I was Obama's VP* is literally Biden's answer.

I guess I wonder how much voters care about the 2002 Iraq war vote in 2020

Notice Elizabeth Warren lumps in "climate" while talking about national defense.
Interesting. #DemDebate

WOLF BLITZER: Tom Steyer, why should voters you should be Commander in Chief of the largest military in the history of the world?

What this #DemDebate is missing:
Mod: "Mr. Yang, how will you address not only Iran but also North Korea now with tensions so high?"
Yang: "Well, one thing I think with regards to Iran that we need is, if we just give people $1000, uh, Iran will denuclearize itself & buy PS5s"

We are about as close to the Vietnam war now, as voters were to World War 2… in the 1992 election of Bill Clinton. https://t.co/rE0c6emSMd

Klobuchar would pull troops out of Afghanistan except for some to do "counter-terrorism and training".
What does she think they are doing now?

Did the same authorization that didn't give Trump permission to do this in Iran give Biden and Obama and Clinton permission to turn Libya into a pile of rubble?
— Matthew Walther (@matthewwalther) January 15, 2020
Biden is lying. Libya was not anchored in the 9/11 AUMF. It was based on Harold Koh’s nihilistic construction of the War Powers Resolution.

Moderator asks @BernieSanders: "Are you unwilling to compromise?"
LOL! "No compromise" is Sanders's stock in trade.#DemDebate
— Jeff Jacoby (@Jeff_Jacoby) January 15, 2020
Because Warren is banking on Iowa, which wants it badly, and Bernie is betting on New Hampshire, which doesn't care nearly as much as his progressive base cares about blocking commodities trade? https://t.co/hrbjOLSBTw

Tom Steyer says on the first day of office he would remove the tariffs on China
— Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar) January 15, 2020
If you think Biden's trade talk sounds familiar that's because its how the Obama admin sold TPP
Which means he still supports it
— Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar) January 15, 2020
Warren has a completely unrealistic idea of how trade talks actually work.

FINALLY BERNIE VS WARREN FIGHT

MODERATOR: You’re saying that you never told Sen. Warren that a women could not win the election.
SANDERS: That is correct.
MODERATOR: Sen. Warren, what did you think when Sen. Sanders told you a woman could not win the election.
WARREN: I disagreed. pic.twitter.com/8UUKONNaCY
— Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) January 15, 2020
Asked about report he told Elizabeth Warren that a woman couldn't win the 2020 election, Bernie Sanders denies ever saying it at all.#DemDebate
— Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) January 15, 2020
Holy shit. The CNN moderator just openly took Warren's side, bailed her out, and saved her from having to back up her claims. One of the most biased moments I've ever seen in a debate. CNN is an absolute clown show. Amazing.

Warren should just point out that she has experience beating an incumbent Republican who happened to win his office only because he had the luck to run against a deeply unpopular woman and political grifter who radiated a belief that she was entitled to the office
— Michael Brendan Dougherty (@michaelbd) January 15, 2020
I love healthcare policy, but this is healthcare segment is literally the same as every other debate. Can't they ask other healthcare policy questions?

"Why do we keep having this conversation?" – Tom Steyer, winning me over.
— Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) January 15, 2020
Sanders's visible contempt at being asked How Much It Will Cost is always good, always gif-able
— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) January 15, 2020
I’d love Warren to point out what statute lets her cut drug costs by fiat.

"I WILL LOWER THE PRICE OF STUFF" -Elizabeth Warren. Why didn't any previous president think of this genius idea?
— Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) January 15, 2020
Steyer sounds like an idiot on health care.
— Damon Linker (@DamonLinker) January 15, 2020
Good line by Mayor Pete about Medicare for all: Health plans shouldn't just be valued by progressives based on how many trillions they cost or how many people they alienate. #DemocraticDebate

"This debate isn't real." – Amy Klobuchar.
Thank you, Senator.

What the hell is Klobuchar talking about. The story started in Vegas and ended with her dad getting married three times.
