in his nasty attack on Biden. One of them said this was "the nail in the coffin" for Castro's campaign.

Booker's back-stage agreement with Castro was also brought up.

And they had some comments on ageism.

I'll post video when it's available.



Editing to add a tweet with several minutes of video. This doesn't seem to be complete video of their discussion, but the video of that segment isn't on YouTube yet.

1. What was Booker's backstage agreement?

[hlthe2b]

2. That is my question, too.

[highplainsdem]

5. Even McCain's daughter?

[wildflower]

21. I wondered about that too

Since he did the same thing to Beto in the first debate

[Zambero]

6. And quite possibly any hopes for a future cabinet appointment

Self-inflicted unforced errors are STOOPID.

[BlueIdaho]

7. No one likes what the disaster twins did last night.

Booker and Castro fell on their swords.

[IronLionZion]

8. I guess Castro is off Biden's VP list

I hope it's a liberal woman like Warren

[elocs]

9. Yes, the women of The View are influential to my political thinking.

I hang on their every word.

[highplainsdem]

12. Almost every candidate has appeared on The View. The show has great ratings and has won dozens of

Emmy awards.

[question everything]

18. Sad commentary on our time

[Cha]

19. Yeah your snark about their opinions is noted.

The point is not just The View.. They are just some of many.

Julián Castro repeatedly attacked Joe Biden, but was wrong in debate’s most viral moment

While the moment quickly went viral on social media, the Daily Beast’s Lachlan Markay pointed out that Castro was incorrect — Biden didn’t actually say people would have to opt in to his plan. Instead, he said the exact opposite just a minute before the widely shared exchange.

“Anyone who can’t afford it gets automatically enrolled in the Medicare-type option we have,” Biden said of his plan.

Castro Blew it.. time will tell how badly.

[question everything]

10. That the "women of the view" - whoever they are, and Oprah are now the oracles to listen

about our political leaders is a really sad commentary on our times.

I am sure that just looove Williamson.

[highplainsdem]

13. See reply 12. And no, they don't love Williamson.

[highplainsdem]

11. Just edited the OP to add a tweet with several minutes of video.

[jcgoldie]

14. meh.

Why do we care what "the women of The View" think again?

[highplainsdem]

16. Why don't you ask all the candidates who've appeared on the show, in some cases multiple times?

[jcgoldie]

17. I'm assuming they appear on the show to get publicity like any other television appearance

And probably not because they are concerned about Whoopi Goldberg or Megan McCain's personal opinions about their debate performances.

[Cha]

20. "meh" it's not just the women of The View..

15. That was really bad form on Castro's part.

22. LOL@".. be careful what you do with

old people 'cause we will turn on you.."

"..25% of voters are old people.. "

Mahalo, highplainsdem.. this is great!

23. I didn't watch the debate. I never do, but this has changed my opinion of JC forever.

I thought he would be a great addition to a Biden cabinet. This makes me question his judgment. Attacking the frontrunner may feel good in the moment, but you only hand ammunition to the GOP against the person who is most likely to be our nominee.
