Biden had lower expectations due to the pundits and Sanderistas acting like he is a drooling dementia patient and he easily surpassed that. Sanders hit one blows, and both had great moments, but we saw Biden raise his game tonight.

Then Biden appeared to win every round.

Never a knock out, but damn that was a beat down.

If this was a close race, I would have deep concerns about Bernie being able to go one on one with the Mango Mussolini.

But Biden wins by default because he was already ahead and this didn't change anything.

Overall, I was happy with the debate and more excited about both of our options after watching.

Pledging to nominate a black female Supreme Court justice and committing to pick a woman as Vice President. Well done! And just a day after endorsing Senator Warren’s Bankruptcy plan.

Think maybe that ice cream cone he's holding will look like the ticket...vanilla on top and some chocolate right underneath.

Harris or Rice would be my top two guesses.

Whichever flavor he chooses it's a great move with so many talented and qualified options out there.

Joe might opt for coconut and name Hawaii's Tulsi Gabbard as a running mate.

But some might think that's cuckoonut.

I was worried about how Biden would handle tonight. His behavior has concerned me. But he was sharp tonight and energetic. That was great to see.

We saw a warmer Bernie and he got some blows in on Biden’s record. I liked that he stuck to the issues and I always agree with that he says. He really speaks to me.

Successful debate because I loved Bernie as usual and Biden helped assure me he’d be ready to face Trump. After all, Biden is definitely most likely to get the nomination. I would be there for him.

but I thought the CNN panel did a pretty good job.

Probably a lot easier to control a 2-person debate instead of having half the Democratic Party up on the stage.

looks pretty close to what 538 is predicting for either man's chances to be the nominee.
