New York Times Readers Upset by Debates
The NY Times ^ | Feb 20, 2020 | NY Times Commenters

"I am finding this unbelievably troubling. The worst debate I have ever seen.

"All of the candidates — except one — is attacking everyone. The VERY BEST Circular Firing Squad trump could hope for... all democratic candidates bloodied.

. . . . .

"This is sickening, a real slug fest with everyone shouting at the top of their lungs as if the world needed a hearing aid. I almost wish I needed one so I could remove it. If these are the survivors of 9 debates, we're in worse trouble than I thought.

. . . .

"The goal is to elect a Democrat for President. The current candidates have lost track of that goal and are engaging in a free for all tearing down their “rivals” -the other Democratic candidates- to make themselves look good. It’s all about individual egos and not the good of the Democratic Party or the country.

......

"Horrid, debate tonight. This food-fight format is just awful. All the candidates should be forced to watch this in it's entirety, so they don't repeat this ugly debacle. Bloomberg's a disappointment. I can't listen to Berrnie drone. on. and. on. and. on.

There are plenty more comments in the same vein. Even the most liberal, educated professionals are disgusted by the behavior of the Democrats running this year.

Best debate ever.

Bernie and Warren were Mao-thing off.

Realistically, they shellacked each other and didn’t lay a glove on Bloomberg...

He Larry Us...

Won’t equate much to the ballot box.

They had more than a few side views of the stage. Nothing visible for Bloomberg, although he was placed next to Sen Warren.

I watched it all.

That is exactly the stuff I would be thinking if I were a lumpen dem.

In this group, they got what they asked for. Just like if they got their way running the country ... they'd get what they asked for, and they'd curse it, but they STILL wouldn't understand it was what they asked for.

Who do ANY of these people have to be mad at but themselves? These writers should be criticizing themselves, not the candidates, who are just a reflections. They don't realize that they are looking in the mirror.

And for the spoiler, Hillary will ride in on her broom cackling as she flys and save the day at the brokered convention. What a show!

He said something about Buttgiggity looking like him mom forgot to pack his graham crackers. I refrained from tweeting that if Pete goes camping, his mom packs the graham crackers, his dad packs the marshmallows, and Chasten packs the chocolate.

Pete played the cool customer Obama-clone approach tonight and I think he set himself up for 2024 or 2028.

Amy is toast. Bloomberg with the NDAs is toast. Biden is done.

They have NO candidate. Open convention.

They say it’s impossible to be in two places at once

Yet somehow Trump held a rally

and won a debate!

I must say, I’m not a big fan of intra-party debates in principle. I think all they do is hurt the eventual nominee in the long run.
