I am going to have to record it and watch tomorrow, after work but before the next debate. (I have to get up for work at 4:30am, but I may not be able to avoid sneaking a peek.)
I’m really excited for tonight’s debate although I’m worried that I’ve set my expectations too high for Warren.
For tonight I’m interested in Warren, Beto, Booker and Castro.
Meh, it’s the JV one. You can catch Warren’s collection of 60-second soundbites on youtube tomorrow, I’m sure. Saves time.
If I can’t have my dream ticket of Warren/Harris, I’ll take Warren/Castro.
I’d even take Warren/Booker. Or anyone-not-Biden/anyone-not-Biden
