What Went Down On Night One Of The First Democratic Debates

I’m actually not totally sure how that Castro exchange with Beto is going to play out for home viewers, though. It was pretty far into just interrupting/talking over someone territory instead of debating them. But … he has people talking about him, and that’s usually going to count as a win in this format.

Booker is doing fine. Not great, not bad, just fine. I think he’s definitely been in the mix, but I’m not sure he’s had a breakout moment like I think Castro has, exhibiting his immigration expertise. I think Booker definitely planned to make a splash speaking Spanish, but O’Rourke stole a little of his thunder.

I swear to god I haven’t seen this many people who basically agree with one another on everything yelling at each other this much since I saw a group of drunk frat boys arguing over who got to take home a kitten they found.
