My takeaway...

[brooklynite]

Top performers were Bullock in the moderate lane, Warren in the progressive lane, and Buttigieg in the “fresh face” lane. Bernie still come across as too angry. Nobody sitting around me in the theater thought he could win. Klobuchar doesn’t seem to be gaining traction in terms of moving to the top tier. Delaney, Ryan and Hickenlooper should pack it in.

1. Down on Pete tonight?

[brooklynite]

4. Sorry, typo

I meant Buttigieg in the fresh face group.

[CTyankee]

2. Was Bullock the guy from Montana? I liked him.

He has humor and style.

[Bayard]

13. And he was wearing cowboy boots....

[Raine]

19. I like him too

I'm not saying I'm picking him but I like him and want to know more about him.

3. Pete Buttigieg

got a good chance to deliver more of his thoughtful, measured remarks. Hopefully, he stopped the bleeding.

[CentralMass]

5. I respect your opinion however there are those of us who think that Bernie style is just fine

10. Welp.

Under his winners:

*Donald Trump: An extended conversation about eliminating all private insurance. A top-tier candidate -- Warren -- fully embracing decriminalizing illegal immigration. All of that is music to the President's ears. Remember that his poll numbers -- job approval that has never broken 50%, etc. -- suggest that there is no positive message that wins Trump a second term. Which means he needs as much fodder as possible to cast Democrats as deeply out of touch and representative of a creeping socialism. He got plenty on Tuesday night.

[NYMinute]

11. Yep, those socialist talking points will be the bane nt

[Drunken Irishman]

12. Running on decriminalizing the border is very questionable as well.

[NYMinute]

15. Yes ... that is not a popular position at all -- suicidal. nt

[OnDoutside]

18. Chris Cillizza's fake. In the tank for Trump last time.

[JI7]

20. he still is

[CentralMass]

21. My take is that Sanders and Warren won the night.

[comradebillyboy]

6. Warren is running a very good campaign, Buttigieg is a very

appealing candidate, I like Bullock a lot and I'm very sorry Klobuchar isn't doing better.

[DesertRat]

7. Thanks for your report.

I'm sure it was very different actually being in the room. I'm looking forward to your report again tomorrow night.

[watoos]

8. Bernie should have been angry,

this debate was set up to take him and Warren down.

When you have a question from the moderators, "are Bernie's ideas too radical to beat trump,?" I would get pissed too. Who else had a question directly attacking them?

I will be interested to see if cnn runs the next debate to take down Biden and Warren.

[Blue_true]

14. Warren handled it far better than Bernie.

That should really set in with people that are torn between the two.

[oasis]

9. Elizabeth Warren A-. The other nine, B. Good debate.

Made me proud to be a Democrat.

[crazytown]

16. 'My takeaway'

No dinner dates tonight?

[Princetonian]

17. Nothing wrong with Bernie's anger. That's the way working-class boys from Brooklyn fight!

No high-tea manners evah.
