Days before the New Hampshire primary, the Democrats’ top presidential contenders clashed over experience and electability in a debate that tested the strength of new front-runner Pete Buttigieg and struggling Joe Biden.

Democratic presidential candidates former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, left, shakes hands with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., right, as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., back left, and former Vice President Joe Biden, back right, stand on stage Friday, Feb. 7, 2020, before the start of a Democratic presidential primary debate hosted by ABC News, Apple News, and WMUR-TV at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H.

“I’m interested in the style of the politics we need to put forward to actually finally turn the page,” Buttigieg said. “The politics of the past I think were not all that bad,” Biden said. “I don’t know what about the past about Barack Obama and Joe Biden was so bad.” A somber Biden was appreciative when Buttigieg defended him and his son, Hunter Biden, against attacks from Trump in the impeachment inquiry.

The seven-person field highlighted the evolution of the Democrats’ 2020 nomination fight, which began with more than two dozen candidates and has been effectively whittled down to a handful of top-tier contenders.

He is in my book.

He’s not a front runner! Quit selling crap! Bernie is!

Barnes_Law Who won Iowa?

Warren + Sanders

An endless number of empty words with very little substance. More nothing said. The democratic party has lost touch with how to get elected. Buttigeg was the worst. He honestly has nothing genuine to say, and is grossly in over his head.

Pete the Frontrunner 😂🤣 The AP has been killing it lately with the new comedy account!

Lol none of these clowns can compete with Trump. Not worried one bit

Associated Press really? That’s how you use your platform? Pete’s the front runner? When you know damn well Sanders is!

They aint going 2 spend it kissing trumps ass like u do, ap

Can anyone remember a presidential candidate who made it to office on a gun control platform? Neither can I.

Tested their strength? They’re coasting and easing along with media soft-balling them and their neighborly debates. Soft like Charmin!

Was anyone else waiting for Pete to turn to Biden and say “okay boomer” It was written all over his face 🤣🤣

Experience...

Front runner

Bernie Sanders is definitely the front-runner, not Pete.

Front runner? LMFAO 🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🐁

Buttigieg will Peter out eventually but a Bernie support has a better core.

Please don’t give Twitler an idea for a new name for Biden.

First, AP got creative with climate activist photos, now y’all getting creative with the term “front runner.” Cute.

Barnes_Law DNC .... we Do.Not.Count

Barnes_Law The way Democrats count votes it's amazing they didn't announce next Tuesdays result tonight at the debate!

Experience and electability did it for Trump.... didn't it? (Sarcasm at its worse)

Pete isn’t in Front ... ask Iowa

Who cares? Iowa was a disaster. The rest will be rigged as well

Buttigieg and Klobuchar.

LMAO PETE FRONT RUNNER

Since when is Buttigieg the front runner?

Why can't a single Democrat appeal to middle America? Why does it all have to be far left wing

He’s not the front runner

pete is not a front runner

Buttigieg has 0% black support nationally

The shambolic Iowa caucuses did little to unite the DemocratsElderly voters have taken a shine to Pete Buttigieg. Young voters have generally preferred the party's radical camp Time for the elderly to step aside. We've grown up in their world, and the kids hate it. They keep fucking everything up. Why trust them with Buttigieg. He's a creep All the pundits naively believing that millions of 'Bernie supporters' are viciously attacking his opponents should pause for a moment and think... Russian and Trump trolls, bots, next-gen Cambridge Analyticas... or have we forgotten all that?

Biden launches new attacks on Sanders, Buttigieg, outlines risks to nominating them as primary race enters critical stretchFollowing what appears to be a disappointing finish in Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden took direct aim at two of his main rivals for the Democratic nomination during a speech in Somersworth, New Hampshire. So the wall street bailout was not socialism? Desperation never looks good - retire with dignity Instead of launching attacks. Maybe all the Dem candidates need to just compare policies , in a civil manner !!
