                                                            Ok that question had a long wind-up to it before the actual pitch; let Julian have his time to talk about it instead of eating into his time, moderator. #DemDebate

                                                      Couldn’t tell what Castro & Beto were saying as they’re talking over one another. #DemDebate

                                                    Oh so they’ll let DeBlasio interrupt, but not Delaney, huh... #DemDebate

                                                  Ok, so yes it’s bad that we have concentration camps worse than Gitmo, but Rep. Ryan should have clarified that Gitmo is still bad, too, and should be shut down as well. #DemDebate

                                                Wow they keep shutting down Delaney... also Gabbard hasn’t had a turn in a while. #DemDebate

                                        Yeah this mic kerfuffle is a symptom of their larger issue of being unable to cut people off who go over or interrupt. #DemDebate

                                    If Warren is going to make the gun research argument, she should mention that the CDC is currently barred from doing any such research. #DemDebate

                                  Sen. Booker is winning the personal anecdotes competition tonight, I’d say, even if I don’t always agree with his policies. #DemDebate

                                Beto, saying the “young people” must be leading here, well, I hope you realize that doesn’t include you, you have grey hair. #DemDebate

                              Delaney shut down AGAIN! If anyone deserves to complain about mod bias tonight, it’s him. #DemDebate

                            Hoping this McConnell question ends up being moot due to Kentucky voting him out. #DemDebate

                          Seriously half the candidates here should be running for McConnell’s Senate seat instead of for president; defeating him is so much more important than beating Trump. #DemDebate

                        Inslee’s smile got so big when he could tell that the debate was shifting to climate change, lol. #DemDebate

                      Ok I get why nationally Castro’s Puerto Rico visit shoutout is the right move, but as a New Hampshirite I have to take exception to him dissing NH in the process. #DemDebate

                    Kinda behind here, but how do you spell Ryan’s misspeaking of “elitist”? “Elital“? With a hyphen, as in, “elite-al”? #DemDebate

                  This question on whether or not to do interventionism really should’ve gone to Gabbard. #DemDebate

                Ah, now she’s getting in there... dodged the implications about Syria, though. #DemDebate

          So they get closing statements, but not opening ones? Ok... #DemDebate

      So Warren is going last? The gap is making me realize she didn’t really get as much time in this second half of the debate... #DemDebate

    Ok #DemDebate is over now; time to head back home... you can unmute the hashtag and/or me now, if you were doing that
