Amy won the debate.

[MontanaFarmer]

Hands down. Not close. Wish she could get more traction.

[scheming daemons]

1. There really was not a close second.

Amy won.




Yang lost.



Everyone else in between.

[sprinkleeninow]

2. She did extremely well. 😍

[UniteFightBack]

3. She's gotten enough traction to take plenty of votes away from Joe in Iowa. nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. Amy really did do well... congrats to her and her supporters!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

[DanTex]

[B Stieg]

8. Wish I could have seen it!

Friggin' Sling doesn't stream ABC...

[Celerity]

9. yes, she was the clear winner nt

[squirecam]

10. Amy is getting love

From the Hayes focus group.

[riversedge]

11. yes. she. did.

[squirecam]

13. Tweety is giving Amy love too

Says she was presidential

[Sogo]

40. Who's Tweety?

[murielm99]

41. Chris Matthews.

He looks like Tweety.

[Sogo]

43. Oh, well then I agree....

He was very effusive in his comments about her.

He was all but standing up and cheering!

Of course, so was I....I just caucused for her in Iowa Monday night.

[dalton99a]

12. Agreed.

[Baked Potato]

14. Yes, great debate for Amy !

[BootinUp]

15. Her closing was weak in my opinion basically

Saying it’s hard. But she had great style tonight.

[DesertRat]

19. Amy is on MSNBC right now nt

[Skid Rogue]

16. In a perfect world... nt

[DesertRat]

17. Yes she did and the pundits agree

Go Amy!

[UniteFightBack]

18. How is she polling with black folks? nt

[squirecam]

22. Wow....just wow....

Amy wins the debate and you immediately snipe at her.

Not a good look.

[UniteFightBack]

24. You need to retract your personal insult against me immediately. I've praised her repeatedly

tonight YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE WITH THAT BULLSHIT.

[squirecam]

29. In my opinion, under these circumstances

How are you polling with black folk is a snipe.

Amy has been stuck in the senate during a crucial period of time when she was starting to rise in the polls. She over performed anyway in Iowa, and had a great debate as witnesses by pundits and undecided voters. But the moderates in her lane got to stay in Iowa The Whole time if they wanted.

Most of America hasn’t considered her because she didn’t have $ and the time with multiple candidates. She is just getting a chance now, as the field narrows.

If you have praised Amy tonight, great. I just thought your comment was dismissive. She hasn’t had a real chance before tonight to get America’s attention.

Lets just take it down a notch.

FWIW I thought Biden did what he needed to tonight.

[stonecutter357]

30. +1000

[elleng]

32. Not a 'snipe,' imo,

a QUESTION.

[apcalc]

28. I think that is a valid question especially since

POC are strong Dem. supporters.

[squirecam]

34. They are

I just think Amy hasn’t had the opportunity yet to get a look from America. So it’s no surprise her poll numbers were low before the last few weeks.

[emmaverybo]

45. I like Amy and believe holistically she was all-around best in debate. Candidates who cultivate

relationships with AA communities and leaders over the years, get involved with their issues tend to earn AA voter support. This support is not only based on perceived electability, but to a great extent on trust. Candidates who see AA voters and their issues on their radar are seen in return.

White politicians have to work at it. I know Warren is trying now, learning. Amy isn’t being seen yet. She will have to get involved, listen, and learn, make mistakes, and keep on learning.

Too many discover AA folks when they need their votes.

[cry baby]

20. Totally! She won my support tonight. nt

[Awsi Dooger]

21. Meanwhile CNN didn't talk about Amy at all for first 12 minutes of post-debate analysis

Joe Lockhart finally said on aside, "Amy Klobuchar...who I thought was superb...consistently the best all night..."

In the background you could hear David Axelrod say, "We haven't talked about her yet."

No kidding. That's why it is so difficult to gain traction. I was going nuts when CNN led off with all the spats between the so-called frontrunners.

[squirecam]

23. MSNBC certainly has

Which is why I’m watching them.

[Awsi Dooger]

39. CNN later gave Amy a long live interview

Interviewed by Dana Bash and Erin Burnett.

Amy didn't back down on the criticism of Pete. She said his cartoon comment really did bother her, that it was like a gut punch. She continued by saying Pete's comments were degrading.

There was also quite a bit of discussion about the Democratic socialist moment tonight, where Amy was the only one to raise her hand. When asked about it, why she was the only one to raise her hand, Amy said it was because, "people don't want to piss other people off on the debate stage."

[cwydro]

25. Good to hear this.

She’s really my other choice.

Super Tuesday coming fast, and all I know for sure is for whom I WON’T be voting.

[krissey]

42. Mine too. I will go either way, happily.

[myohmy2]

26. "Amy won the debate."

...I don't think so...

...I think Bernie beat her hands down...

...what she did win was the possible support of Mitt Romney...Mitt Romney?

...I think most of us knew what he was doing...

[stonecutter357]

31. WOW !

[PatSeg]

33. Really?

I don't think "most of us knew" whatever you are inferring. That said, most of us think she had a great night, even those of us who aren't supporting her.

[MontanaFarmer]

37. Bernie is Bernie.

Doesn't do it for me, but i won't begrudge you. Amy was very cogent on the reasons we need alliances now and in the future WRT trade, climate, and national security. She displayed the relationships she's built within the party up there, and that can't be discounted. I thought Bernie was great regarding trump and the dangerous precedent set by the Senate GOP, but the rest was a version of his stump speech IMO.

[democrattotheend]

44. Exactly - he was too repetitive

He's great at staying on message, and that's a plus, but sometimes it feels like a broken record.

[still_one]

27. If she is doing as well as people are saying here, i think she will

[doc03]

35. My ticket Biden/Klobuchar nt

[squirecam]

38. I'm on board for that

[Ellen Forradalom]

36. I've been warming up to Amy lately
