Thompson/Baldwin Debate Live Blogging Pt. 2

9:30 PM: And Baldwin goes in for the kill on Medicare. Though that’s really just my language. My like go in for the soft bonk on the head. Interestingly, more than hit Thompson’s comments she tied him to the Ryan plan. Very revealing.

9:32 PM: Curious how people see Thompson in the state right now. He really seems like he has codgerism in my book.

9:33 PM: Thompson first says it’s ridiculous to say he supports Ryan plan; then he says he supports the Ryan Plan.

9:35 PM: Someone must have told Thompson they’d kill his pet rabbit if he correctly pronounced any word having to do with Iran — just go ask AhmadineJohn or travel through the Strait of Hormuth.

9:38 PM: Yep, I’m sure. He’s got codgerism.

9:38 PM: What does Thompson mean he built a women’s hospital in Kabul?

9:41 PM: Baldwin sounds sort of unstated and low key, clear but a little uninspired. Thompson meanwhile is boisterous, direct but also sort of like a character in The Simpsons. Quite a contrast.
