Buttigieg won this debate.

Cool under pressure.

2. LOL..their friends Biden and Harris.

[Celerity]

7. he is getting roasted on NBC, CNN, etc for that

[StarfishSaver]

10. That was bad but not terrible

What I found cringe-worthy, though, was his insistence that he had said "first" black female senator, not the "only"one. He may have THOUGHT that's what he said, but he said, "only." That made him go from sounding dismissive to sounding confused. It was a bad moment for him

17. That was funny

He misspoke, but I think he had the idea.

[emmaverybo]

13. He corrected himself.

[Celerity]

19. not really, he outright denied he said it, he said he said 'the first' when he said 'the only'

[madaboutharry]

3. He has a lot of self-discipline.

He looked pissed off at Tulsi. It would have been interesting to know what he would have said if Bernie didn’t get to speak.

4. I deeply enjoyed his banter with and own of Gabbard.

I've liked Buttigieg for a few years now, so it was a win-win for me.

6. He got some nice moments in,

especially showing what a clown Gabbard is. But overall I thought Booker and Harris were a tier above the rest. Yang was good too.

[StarfishSaver]

8. He was very impressive.

[Hoyt]

9. I do get tired of Buttigieg acting as if his military service gives him some special insight

on military policy. It’s almost the opposite in my mind unless one is focusing on boots on the ground stuff. Not a supporter of Gabbard, but I think she has a better grip on military policy at least in Middle East. Not a disqualifier, just an observation.

[emmaverybo]

14. It gives him insight into soldiering. That's it. Important, but does not give him FP cred or make

him an authority on military interventions, the military, our policies.

[tishaLA]

11. I thought this one belonged to Sens. Booker and Harris

they both had really outstanding debates, but I wonder whether people are watching after being so overwhelmed by impeachment.

[emmaverybo]

15. Harris was very strong. Booker gets too intense-eyed for me. He has a powerful presence though.

But his tenure as mayor, which he touts, can well be criticized.

[SaschaHM]

16. He had a great debate.

There word "experience" got thrown around a bit too much without any good rebuttal to it though.

His rebuttals and the whole "Washington experience" bit w/ Klobuchar is ripe for backlash.

If there is a word that he should not be using, it's experience.

[Renew Deal]

18. I saw part of the debate

And it sounded like 2008 with all the experience talk.

[Celerity]

20. Pete, Harris, Booker had the best nights (I leave the order up to others) IMHO
