Three Things To Watch During ABC’s One-Night Democratic Debate

This claim makes no sense at this point. Since we don’t have a president who will do anything, plans are all we can do.

Shit. I was gonna go out for a drink tonight. Now I guess I gotta stay home to see Warren mop the floor with these also-rans.

You could record it. That is what I will be doing, since I have to go to bed early. (I do hope to catch the first hour.)

  1. It’s still a problem with some ‘never Trumpers’.

  2. Sarandon bought it up nearly a month ago.

How will those plans become reality?

Though I really do know who she is:

Who?

Does anyone pay any attention to her anymore? The Jill Stein crowd maybe?

If you ask her, I am sure that she has a plan for that. The first step, I presume, is becoming president. What is Biden’s plan for doing anything? Is he just going to sweet talk conservatives and compromise until they agree to something? Will Warren be able to do everything she wants? Probably not, but we know that it won’t happen if no one tries. I hope that we are not already running on the idea that we cannot do anything (or at least anything more than keeping the lights on).

She was registered for 5 years as a Republican (1991-1996). It is mentioned on her wikipedia page: Elizabeth Warren - Wikipedia

Warren is wonky, detail-oriented and a high school champion debater. Biden is meandering, imprecise and prone to verbal missteps.

Wow, that seems like a biased and partisan critique. But then, the truth often does…

In that mode, they would actually all sit down and brainstorm over who are the best of them to be on the ballot. Then come to an agreement and explain it to the public in lieu of debating one another to death.

No machine can yet match an irasdad sentence, even on slow news day. Yang is right to point out that that our embrace of machines bodes a humorless future. And who wants that? Humans tend to be humbled by their own ridiculousness, or at least they can just go with with it. Lamar Smith wore a dead squirrel on his head for his entire 22 years in congress and he was smiling most of the time.

I hope one of the moderators asks Joe Biden whether he supports reparations for slavery. I would really like to hear his answer to that one, given the strong support he has received from the African-American community thus far.

Then what?

I think that I’ve asked that before…

What comes after that and what do you think that she should do next?

That will all depend on precise circumstances at the time. I will still prefer someone who wants to try to do something over someone who doesn’t.

OT< but Trump must be positively out of his mind with jealousy at this…

That’s a general statement.

Yes, I believe it is.
