Last night pundits said Biden won. Tonight they're saying Warren won this debate.

CNN thinks she would be the strongest debater against Trump because of her combination of vision and ability to fight.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I can see her ripping into Trump,
while I fear many of our other candidates will be "polite".

I do fear that his old guy machismo might make it just a personal wrestling match which would be much easier for thug Trump to handle than a visionary like Warren.

Warren would beat trump in a debate, but trump would still win reelection against Warren.

The pundit class will not decide the nominee.

Most of them are afraid a real progressive will win, no matter how much sense they make.

He complained about conflicts with NFL games. My hunch is he will find some kind of manufactured grievance.

Would not surprise me at all if he found some kind of manufactured grievance to get out of one or more of them. Some will remember he complained in October 2016 about NFL games conflicting with the debate. So, it’s not exactly uncharted territory. Also important to remember there is no requirement to participate. Sure, it would look bad to half of the country that is sane. His supporters would love it. So more or less how it normally is every day of this admin.
