Quick conclusions on tonight's debates.

[RandySF]

1. Hillary and Bernie reinforced their current supporters.
2. Biden lost big if he had any plans of running because Hillary likely reassured people who were on the fence.
3. O'Malley is done.

1. Big difference from the GOP debate

All the GOP did was argue, call names, rude and unprofessional.

2. I pretty much agree,

I missed some of the beginning, but the when I first tuned in the question to Chafee was on the (wrongly-named) PATRIOT Act, NSA, etc votes. His incredibly lame answer was " I just got to the Senate, and, uh, it was 99-1.

I've never seen him speak before, and that absolutely sucked.

Jim Webb hasn't been very impressive either. It really is Clinton, Sanders or O'Malley.

And it's so DAMN refreshing to hear issue discussion instead of the tRump bullshit that goes on nonstop in the media and the republicon debates.

3. Well,

I would say {President} Sanders was presidential.

Mr. O'Malley would be a great VP for Sanders...

And, Hillary...just go and count your $millions and be a grandma...

[Blasphemer]

4. Fair assessment

This debate won't be a game changer and I agree about Biden. I thought that if he skipped this debate, his prospective run was over and tonight confirms it. This would have been his moment. O'Malley needed a standout performance but, unlike Fiorina, he's up against strong, polished, and informed debaters. He's been good but the leaders have been better.

5. The debate on TV is more satisfying that the debate

here on DU.

[AtomicKitten]

6. basically agree + Chafee kicked butt

[cyberswede]

7. I thought O'Malley did pretty well. He has the toughest climb, and I hope he gets some traction.

I agree with points 1 and 2.

[Arugula Latte]

8. I thought O'Malley positioned himself for a veep slot ... maybe.
