Who will have best and worst performances tonight.

I’m gonna go down the popularity scale and say Beto will say f it and be best (as Melanoma would say) and Yang will make a big announcement that the media will pan as the worst moment.

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

The candidates have been told not to swear,
so I don't know what Beto will say to get attention.

It's forced, planned and scripted. IMO, it's not the type of demeanor or temperament that I want at my president.

The occasional Bill-Clinton-gesture (fist with pointing thumb... as if handing someone a letter) is fine with me, when used to emphasize a specific POINT.

What's annoying and distracting is whenever a candidate uses his (or her) whole body to gesticulate to the beat of every syllable uttered. That's just too much for me, and I can't even hear what he (or she) is saying because his (or her) exaggerated body movements are "louder" than the words themselves.

All I'm trying to say is that the person who comes across as being the most presidential will be the winner in my eyes. Smart answers, reasonable plans and ideas, no PIE IN THE SKY promises, no swearing, minimal gesticulation, no yelling, no finger wagging, no interrupting, no attacking other candidates, NO ATTACKING THE PARTY...

It will certainly be interesting, won't it?
