She argued that detailed policy plans on substantial health care reform is a "superficial fix" and then said that Donald Trump didn't have plans, just a simple slogan... but that you can't win with a simple slogan, you need to go deeper. Huh?
Pete Buttigieg: 300. Had some solid remarks, differentiated himself on some key ideas, and made good mention of his age. Fumbled a bit on the recent shooting. Enough to keep him going and get some google searches. Not enough to put him up there with Biden or Bernie or, now, Warren and Kamala.
Joe Biden: 500. Solid for all but the bussing part. His campaign had previously explained, and noted support for him from AA leaders in his state at the time, that the bussing issue was over how Delaware did it and the need to have local fixes that work. Still an awful look and that prevented him from being the winner of the debate. Besides that, he did what he needed to do.
Bernie Sanders: 300. Came off as angry. Repeated the same red meat his supporters eat up. Probably didn't win anyone but did what he does. Deflecting away from his comments on diversity by just yelling "the 1%" wasn't the best move. Him shouting over everyone on nearly every question early on wasn't a good look.
Kamala Harris: 1000. The clear cut winner. No contest. Her "food fight" comment shut up Sanders and Gillibrand. She took Biden to task and delivered the sharpest blow to him. Her experience as a prosecutor serves her well in this debate and people are imagining her debating Donald Trump in the way a prosecutor might question a petty criminal on trial.
LOL you beat me to it.
Agree Harris came off best. She presents BETTER in debate.
Her best moment was the Biden challenge, but she made solid points on every issue--except for the last question regarding 1st day priorities. 
Biden: Sleepy Joe Had a number of good moments. He does have a very good record, and actual foreign policy experience
But that bussing vote. 
You don't defend a bad civil rights vote by affirming "Local issue-Local control." 
The segregationists defense?
Buttigieg did well, and owned his problem back in Indiana.
Poised throughout.Sanders--something is wrong. He is not as articulate as he was three years ago. He was harping on the most important point--the lobbies and the 1% run the country. Nothing changes until that changes.
But then we need data, cases, examples. Sanders stock is dropping. 
I don't think Williamson did badly. She is not a politician and she is not going to be elected, but I liked a lot of her points
One last comment--Yang will not get much traction after this. He is a one trick pony, and doesn't know how to elbow his way into the debate.
