Casually checking this was a pretty busy debate for this far in the primary. By this point it's usually two candidates, but 2004 it was 4, 2000 it was 3, and 1992 it was 6. Dunno about earlier.

Bernie: 15:03
Everyone Else Except Tom: 11:44 - 13:29
Tom Steyer: 7:00 (Steyer has spent the most time and money in South Carolina)

Amy and Pete will stick around until Bernie locks it up on the off chance they'll get enough delegates to be prize pigs in a contested convention.

I really think Warren's done after South Carolina if her good debate doesn't break through into a respectable showing.

I highly doubt she drops out prior to Super Tuesday unless she runs out of money first. She's already on the ballot and has poured time and resources into several of them, and sunk cost bias is a hell of a drug. If she fails to have any respectable showings on Super Tuesday though then yeah, I think she folds. I'd also like to think that Amy will fold as well once it becomes clear that somebody who she considers "qualified" in terms of experience is the front runner, and not an upstart line jumper like Pete. If Biden loses SC he has to drop out I think, otherwise he's going to stick around long term. We're stuck with Bloomberg until the convention no matter how pathetic his results end up being.

I think Biden and everyone else is in through Super Tuesday regardless of their performance in SC. It's literally three days later. Dropping out the Sunday before Super Tuesday doesn't actually get you anything except less delegates than you would have gotten otherwise.

I don't think you have been reading the past few months debate threads because Warren did spectacularly last debate and the thread agreed. Same with tonight.

Warren doesn't matter, though.

The only performances that are remotely meaningful (and that's a stretch given that debates don't matter much anyway) are Bernie's and Biden's, especially going into SC. Bloomberg would matter if he wasn't such a disaster. Everyone else is just a weird distraction at this point.

edit- This was the problem with people in this thread freaking out about Warren's debate performance before Nevada. It didn't matter at all, because she wasn't competitive in Nevada. She's not competitive in SC either, so her debate performance is a non-issue. You don't swing 12 points on a debate. You're lucky if a stellar debate performance gives you a 1-2% boost.

It’s mainly true but doesn’t mean Bernie can’t win, just that he’ll win along normal Dem lines with the normal dem coalition, and not at the head of a mass movement. Bear in mind we’ve had literally one normal loving election at this point too, so things could change.

Primary turnout and general election turnout aren't really related.

People have also said in this thread that turnout was low for 2016 and it was actually higher than 2012. If Bernie has the same turnout percentage but changes the demographics of that turnout it would be good.

Every turnout estimate also has to deal with the fact that 2008 was a colossal spike in turnout, Obama and all, that’s unlikely to be replicated. Turnout during primaries could also mean a bunch of things, including a large chunk of voters that are basically fine with all or most of the candidates.

If turnout remains relatively low on Super Tuesday, then maybe start worrying about the general.

Never, ever trust people in these threads to accurately gauge how a debate is going. I've been reading stupid D&D live posting debate threads for like a decade and a half and people always assume their candidate did horrible and always think it's going to be the end of them.

Watching it go down in real time it seemed like that one bad answer and the shady audience triggered a wave of panic that all was lost and Bernie was hosed tonight. It took a while before the thread came back to its senses (and for some real OGs in the audience to pick up on what was happening and start screaming back.)

It makes sense, I was nervous too, but it was all 'fine', fine as it could be given the circumstances. My personal feeling is it's really not gonna matter, the weapons they're bringing out against Bernie are the things that would convince someone not to vote for him who was always going to vote Trump anyway.

It's just my feeling, and based on growing up in an always blue union family, but even my grandparents can pick up on the bullshit. Honestly the more obvious the bullshit is might be for the better, subtle ratfucking gets picked up by Twitter and the terminally online, but this stuff, the whole primary season not just the debate, gets picked up by everyone who's even half paying attention. And we see it, Bernie's winning.

So this is nonsense, as it applies to the 2019/2020 debates. I mean, anyone following the primary threads knows that Warren for example received a significant bump in both donations and polling data after her good performance knifing Bloomberg. Bernie too. You're talking poo poo from 2015/2016 like it means something now.

Yeah. I think the only way this debate could have mattered in even a marginal way is if someone really hurt Biden. Apparently Biden's obvious signs of dementia aren't enough to turn off voters, so it's probably all a wash.

No one's dropping out before super tuesday, that would make absolutely no sense. I imagine in their speeches after the counts two of Warren/Buttigeig/Klobuchar will drop will out if Sanders does well. Steyer will likely also drop out if super tuesday shows a clear leader. Bloomberg is a poo poo who will stay. Biden will likely stay. Whichever of Buttigeig/Warren/Klobuchar outperforms will stay.
