First of Three Challenges Met

[peggysue2]

Joe had a strong debate performance, sounded and looked presidential. Second challenge for Joe will be Nevada's results, and then onto South Carolina.

But tonight? Team Joe should be happy and proud. Joe Biden rose to the occasion!

Btw, I think Bloomberg was brought down to earth this evening. He may have more money than God but he has neither the presence nor delivery.

1. Exactly.

Joe is going to get back the support in the polls that Bloomberg had siphoned from him the past few weeks.
I am convinced he is going to do well in Nevada. Unions are pissed at Bernie.

2. Joe was great tonight. And it was telling that almost no-one went after him.

He stayed above the fray, in a way that just exuded presidential demeanor.

It was a wild night. Lot's of blows landed.
Seeing the mystery guy, Bloomberg, crash and burn like the Hindenburg, was a sight!

3. Yes, Biden was great tonight.

But, I worry about the press just ignoring it, because it wasn’t the headline they want to write.

4. Yep. They were doing the "tried to revive his flagging campaign" thing and then gushed about

anyone but Joe. But he was ahead despite them and still leads in swing states, still has a good chance in Nevada for strong showing. Be nice if some moderates with zero chance for nomination,
much less GE would move over now.

Joe was strong! He knew when to get his jabs in and when to stay out of the slug-fest.

5. Wasn't able to catch the debate

I had to work late, but nice to hear the feedback! I'm with Joe through thick and thin, all the way!

6. Biden is the only viable one of the bunch

Buttigieg once suggested that Sanders was getting "dark money." when Sanders got a sudden
enormous sums of cash. The source of that money must believe Sanders must be the easiest
for Trump to defeat. No one has question how Sanders plan to get the $32 trillion what financial
analysts determined that E. Warren needed to carry through similar, "medicare for all, free college tuition's" plans.

7. Yes he did...Joe was great!

He has what it takes! Bloomberg was in for a "rude awakening" last night...

8. Sanders campaign surged

after the Iowa Caucus. Buttigeig reported that the Sanders campaign was getting "dark money."
Today's NYT report on Russian efforts to undermine the Democratic primaries and the Russian support
of Sanders against Hillary in the 2016 primaries, seem to enforce the link.

9. I always wondered about that instantaneous surge.
