I can't wait to watch Gabbard get visibly upset and try to hold back her vomit when LGBT is mentioned.

Need to cut the riffraff. Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttiedge, Harris. No one else has a real shot.

I think it’s going to be Inslee that benefits the most from that one. The guy has a sound track record here in Seattle. I think he stands a chance to break through in that pack.
Inslee is my dark horse...
You must be from Seattle...

It’s not a B team, I kinda see what they did. The first group has a lot of big names, while the second has most of the biggest names.
Since people are predicting shit. I’m going with Bernie bros bitching that he was put up against real contenders, while Warren got a free pass. Without the persecution complex, it doesn’t look like Bernie is doing too great.

June 26 lines up for Warren to really shine. For Klobuchar, this is probably her only shot to really move forward much; if she doesn't get a noticeable bump, it's probably time to drop, given that it's a relatively favorable draw.
It's funny that June 27 get the majority of the heavy hitters, but also the majority of goofballs that really have no business chewing up time on stage. Swalwell should be the biggest joke running, but since he's on stage with a complete kook like Williamson, he won't even be the worst guy in the room. I enjoy Yang, but he's also an obviously ridiculous candidate.
What you’re not buying into #YangGang2020? I digress, I like Yang, he seems like a personable guy, and I think some form of UBI is all but certain in the coming decades, but I just always get the feeling a disproportionate chunk of his fans are non-serious teen/20something young men that want ‘yang bux’ to bring their dream of laying around playing video games all day one step closer.

I think that’s why it’s split like that. The second date has more front runners. But, if you apply a scoring system based on relevance in DNC and chances of winning. I think the two days will be close, because there is no Swalwells on the first day. Remember that Castro was a big name for a while, in DNC circles.
Edit: similarly for Deblasio (sp?)... he may be a shit show, but he carries NYC democrats.
Edit 2: I should add that I am biased against Deblasio (sp?), because when in NYC, all I hear is right wing rhetoric, due to my folks. While in Seattle, I never hear of him, so there is no balance. So... from my lone right wing information, he is a shit show.

I can't wait to see God Emperor Yang on stage.
He will stride on stage with the Mandate of Heaven singing an ethereal angelic choir song, Biden will be sweating bullets. Yang will smile, adjust his blue trucker hat that says "MATH" on it. He will then let the others speak, then turn to the camera, pull 1000 dollars from his secured bag. At this point Joe Biden will be nervously twitching, Gillibrand will be visibly scared and grimmacing, he will hold that thousand dollars to the camera.
He will say "This is what freedom feels like...." and then throw that fat stack to Joe Biden. Biden will slip and drop it as his hands are to busy caressing a 10-year-old girl. He will then piss and shit himself live on stage. Gilibrand will ofcourse offer herself sexually to Yang, but Yang will only work with BASED Brahmen Priestess Tulsi to end foreign wars and spread 1000 dollars and Aloha spirit to America. NEET bucks and Dharma will spread across the land and we will be thankful for our new lives.
Bernie Sanders will ascend into the heavens, knowing his work is safe here on Earth and began his journey across the astral planes, his cosmic quest not yet completed.
Trump will, of course, die of heart failure because of his atrocious diet and the plug on his life support being pulled, sometime after it is revealed Baron Trump had been poisoning him, at the last moment he will unplug the life support machine and whisper "Secure the bag".

True enough on Warren.
The biggest difference with Trump compared to a dork like Swalwell is that he was polling high pretty much immediately. Even smart people (like Nate Silver) came up with reasons to ignore the hard data because he's such a goofball, but the data turned out to actually be pretty good.

I am honestly looking forward to Warrens approach to things since she is fielded with more of the weaker group. Hopefully the response time is enough to get a quick on the fly response that is also somewhat detailed.
Since I didn't see anyone mention it, my understanding is their method for selection was to put the top ten names into one pile and the bottom ten names into another, then randomly draw such that each debate had five from each. That way both debates are a mix of frontrunners and underdogs.
