2020 Democratic Debate #1

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Because I am busy tomorrow.

8:58: Okay, ready for the debate. I’ve no idea who’s on tonight. I’m afraid when it starts I still won’t know who most of them are.

9:00: They’ve listed them all. I’ve heard of maybe four of them. That’s not good.

9:04: Warren started out well, although she didn’t really answer the question. All she did was deny that the economy is doing well for everyone, which I’m not sure is entirely accurate.

9:05: I wish they’d have their names on the screens under them. Since I don’t know who most of them are, that’d be helpful.

9:08: Oh, there we go! Booker’s name popped up. Thanks.

9:11: The President can’t pass the ERA.

9:12: Okay, she’s not even trying to answer the question. Nothing she’s saying has anything to do with equal pay. I mean, a lot of them are being vague, but she really ignored it.

9:14: Who the HÊLL is this guy?

9:16: They don’t serve hash at McDonald’s. I bet Trump knows that.

9:22: While I understand the problems with health care, I sure don’t want to switch out my coverage for Medicare. Mine’s been fine.

9:24: Delaney is making the most sense on this subject. At least now I know who he is.

9:27: Is it just me, or does Cory Booker look like Luther, Obama’s anger translator?

9:28: STOP ALL TALKING AT THE SAME TIME!

9:30: Goddamit. The Phillies tied the Mets game. Figures.

9:33: Seriously? They’re breaking for commercials? Do they always break for commercials in debates? That’s messed up.

9:37: I wonder if they’re asked about Israel, if they’ll speak in Hebrew. I’d vote for anyone who does that.

9:39: “Criminalizing desperation.” That’s a good phrase.

9:41: Stop interrupting each other.

9:43: SHUT UP! Jesus Christ!

9:51: So they pretty much all agree that pulling out of the Iranian deal was a dûmbášš idea. Good.

9:53: Yes, we know you served, you led with that. We get it.

9:54: I misheard her. I thought she said “Very ancient candidates” and I thought , “No, Biden and Sanders aren’t there.” But she said “anxious.” My bad.

10:00: Maddow should be able to shut them up.

10;06: Gun issues. This should be fun.

10:07: So Warren has no solution for guns. Not surprising.

10:09: If any of them says, “We need to get rid of the Second Amendment,” I will support them.

10:11: Caroline likes Ryan’s comments.

10:16: I just want to say, as a New Yorker, that I am utterly indifferent to deBlasio and I’ve no idea why he’s running.

10:18: Of course she does. Warren has a plan for everything.

10:28: I have no idea if anyone is reading this. I’ve checked my site and it seems frozen at Freak Out Friday from June 7: nothing since then. Just perfect.

10:35: I hate to say it, but I love when they go after Trump. He’s SUCH a dìçk.

10:36: Okay, that’s the most depressing personal history story we’ve heard tonight.

10:40: Christ, Rachel, stop them from talking over each other.

10:56: Klobichar is the only one so far who basically spoke about being electable.

Off to watch the Daily Show and Colbert live.

    1. McD’s hash browns are their breakfast potatoes. More like tater tots than classic hash browns. But I digress…
      Anyway, Peter, I checked in at 10:40 EDT. Have to leave now, but will read the rest after it’s over.

  3. Didn’t see the debate, went to see Toy Story 4. Sounds like I made the right choice. But I can see your blog.

  4. The site wouldn’t load for a couple of weeks this month. I never saw the last two FOF until you put up the debate post and I looked yesterday. I blame Gremlins.

    I have the broadcast taped; I was asleep. I work 11-7.

  5. Tried to watch this, but Pam got too incensed to finish. All responses to questions were of the format: 45 seconds of canned response that had NOTHING to do with the question, followed by 30 seconds of canned response that had a little, maybe, to do with the question. Pam was just screaming at the screen they were so ridiculous, and yes, she is a Democrat…

    .

  7. I can’t watch any presidential “debate“ these days without the scene from Newsroom coming to mind. Where they staged a mock debate to show what a real one should be like, with candidates challenged on their enters and probed on their positions. And then watch the actual one that did happen, where candidates were asked such serious policy questions as whether they preferred Elvis or Johnny Cash.

  9. This site hasn’t been updated in some time. Is it glitching again, or has PAD just been too busy to post.

  11. I don’t know. While our replies are showing up here, the front page says there’s only one response to his ‘most recent’ post.
