The fact that we have a DNC and an RNC that clearly favor candidates, choose who gets the spotlight via some sort of arbitrary criteria, and then throw ten of those people on stage two nights in a row, who with the confidence of a religious nut use tweetable sentences to distill subjects that would take a lifetime to fully understand, is so effed. It's a weird illusory assessment.
I like Bullock, but even if he were up there for round one I see no way he would have rose to the top. In fact, I think the more someone "wins" a debate, the less I like them. It's not about logic or facts, it's about the signaling.
All that said, of all the Dems I saw the last two days, I liked Gabbard most.
