— BIDEN STILL NEEDS LESSONS FROM BUTTIGIEG ON HOW TO STRING SENTENCES TOGETHER, AND THE GAFFE MACHINE WAS ALWAYS ON THE VERGE OF WORKING OVERTIME. IN ADDITION, UKRAINE IS STILL ON THE BRAIN AFTER ANDERSON COOPER’S EXCELLENT QUESTION WAS LEFT NOTICEABLY UNATTENDED.

— HARRIS AND CASTRO WERE CLEAR AND FORCEFUL, BUT STRUGGLING FOR ATTENTION AND AIRTIME

— TOM MAKES AN APPEARANCE AS THE TOKEN BILLIONAIRE, AND WHAT MAY’VE STOOD OUT THE MOST WAS THE STEYER ATTIRE (THAT RED TIE WAS MORE THAN A LITTLE BUSY)

— ANDREW YANG’S POINT ON THE VALUE-ADDED TAX WAS EXCELLENT AND WORTH SERIOUS CONSIDERATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO A PUNITIVE WEALTH TAX

— SANDERS SMILED, BUT SEEMED DETACHED, TONED DOWN AND, AT TIMES, ALMOST FORGOTTEN

— IF YOU CAN GET BEYOND THE ANNOYING HAND GESTURES, BETO DID HIS BEST JOB YET, MAKING COGENT POINTS AND THINKING ON HIS FEET

— KLOBUCHAR TRIED VERY HARD, BUT HER DELIVERY FELL A BIT SHORT

— BOOKER SEEMS TO HAVE MASTERED THE HANDBOOK ON AWKWARD, GRATUITOUS AND/OR FORCED SEGWEYS.

— GABBARD WAS INDEED GABBING TOO MUCH AT THE END AND WAS MERCIFULLY GIVEN THE HOOK.
