So I talked to some people I know [View all]
who watched last night's debate.
They had their own private little debate party, and talked to me about it today. Present: two Rinos, some Dinos, an independent, and the rest harder core democrats. Some of them are experienced debaters: a coach, and a couple of college team debaters. None of them have a preferred candidate yet.
Here are some things they said:
Webb: Clueless. Needs to be gone.
Chafee: What, is he in middle school? What an embarrassment of lame excuses.
O'Malley: It looks like he's applying to be someone's VP.
Sanders: Rough, but strong, and commanded the best moment of the night. They said something else, but I don't want to start another flame war when I'm just reporting the word I got on the street, so to speak, so I'll leave that off.
Clinton: Polished, professional, well done even though much of what was well done was excusing and avoiding.
*disclaimer: these are not my thoughts. I just thought it would be interesting to consider some outside voices.
