Key moments that mattered from Wednesday night’s first Democratic debate in Miami: DemDebate

Though confrontation was muted, there were moments of clarity on issues that voters have said are top priorities, like health care and the crisis at the border, as candidates fought through awkward audio issues and strict time limits to introduce themselves to the Democratic voters who will decide their future in 2020.

Overall, however, Trump wasn't often called out by the Democrats -- just 20 times over two hours. Klobuchar, who said the president's name the most, did so five times in her roughly nine minutes of speaking time. "I just think it's a mistake, Beto. I think it's a mistake," Castro said in one of the first moments of direct confrontation on stage.

Castro pushed back, contending that other parts of the law already protect asylum seekers, while O'Rourke called the issue"one small part."A clear distinction on one of the most-talked-about platforms: Medicare for All For Warren, it was a revealing moment. As recently as March, she said that there"could" be a role for private insurance companies under a Warren administration, but on the debate stage she was firm in her support for Sanders' plan, including the elimination of private health insurance.

"Who is this economy really working for? It's doing great for a thinner and thinner slice at the top," Warren said at the top of her first remarks.

I'd like to also add...excessive and unnecessary Democracy promoted by the media seeking more profit as you cover 20 Democratic presidential hopefuls. They wouldn't be doing it if you didn't give them a means. The internet isn't always a good thing.

Socilism Demass's Trump 2020

Bernie2020

Trump Wins!!

I don’t think anybody stood out last night, in my opinion. There’s to many damn people & until it’s the main candidates on one stage in one one night, it’s all noise.

Gab is good

Lol 😂 what a bunch of jokes

Haha -“key moments”? You mean blowhard moments

Why would anyone vote for these nut cases? Radical socialist democrats with a failed ideology Trump2020

The Democratic Debate as interesting as,

Did those assholes forget this is an ENGLISH speaking country? Up there speaking in Spanish! And about the picture of the parent and child drowning, what about the people killed here by illegals? Should we show pictures of their bodies?

Key moment: I didn’t watch and I’m smarter now than yesterday.

It was a real good comity show. No one answered DILLY shit.

Key moments?

None.

Key to what?

DEMOCRATS ROCK 2020!!

😆 I'm voting Trump. Never vote DemoKKKrat ever again.

😆 😆 😆 DemoKKKrats have absolutely no candidate that will beat Trump! Never Vote DemoKKKrat!

OMG! I am a democrat but this was the night of the living dead! And the gringo spanglish sad speeches .... shape up guys...

I can't believe 'Russia' was only mentioned once at the end ... it should have been everyone's answer 1 DemDebate DemocraticDebate

Whenever I think about our next President, I think of someone standing in front of and dealing with world leaders making our country proud again. I see Beto/ Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Beto. Intelligence, passion, policy, pride.

'Booker and O'Rourke got away with almost 11 minutes of speaking time, followed by Warren and Castro at around nine minutes, ahead of de Blasio and Inslee, who had only about five minutes.' Seems there was a disconnect with the moderators on giving them all the same time.

All I have to say is work hard and please remember politics isn't entertainment is service..Like Burger King but different.

We did learn a lot tonight. We may not have been thrilled, but I did learn who I won't consider really. Tomorrow night will be the better night.

Did anyone watch? Yeah, me either. Lol

I'm surprised there is a video... it was a circus- entertaining but nothing key that will matter going forward.
