Subject line on immediate post-debate email from Harris campaign: "America does not want to witness a food fight. They want to know how we're going to put food on the table." Planned? Of course. Effective? They obviously think so! — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

When all is said and done, no one will be happier with the way the debate stages lined up than Harris, who got to leave a lasting impression by speaking on Thursday, and who took advantage of the chance to face off directly against Biden and Sanders — PolitiTweet.org

@casoncrane more politically difficult to go after Obama in any way than pursuing a line directly against Biden — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

Most candidates have calculated that going directly after Biden doesn’t make sense, largely because of the risk of alienating his voters, or undecided Democrats who view him positively. But twice now Harris has shown she’s looking at very different math. — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

Buttigieg obviously knew this question was coming, the question has been whether anyone else would question is handling of the situation in South Bend. I didn't hear anyone predict it'd be Hickenlooper. — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

A few candidates have hit obvious internal goals so far: •Harris- present self as floating above Biden v Bernie •Gillibrand- become one of the main characters onstage •Buttigieg- talk about values, focus on being an outsider •Biden- say "Trump"+"Obama" as much as possible — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

Buttigieg is very clearly making a point to hit the "I'm not from DC" theme in every answer, whether he's talking about Chinese threats or GOP values. — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

Harris keeps making a point of bringing her answers to real people, which is clearly connecting with — at least — the in-auditorium audience — PolitiTweet.org

Stylistic thing, but Sanders and Bennet calling each other “Bernie” and “Mike” is a little 👀 given how everyone else is “Mayor X” or “Senator Y”... — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

She hasn’t been asked to follow up on it, but very notable that Harris raised her hand on the private insurance question. Here’s betting she gets asked about that in the spin room, after some back-and-forth on this exact topic when she first launched her campaign — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

That moment right there was Kamala Harris’ dream, obviously. — PolitiTweet.org

You can tell that candidates practiced their interrupting tactics before tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Hickenlooper won’t believe his luck that (A) he gets to intro himself on this socialism question, and (B) he gets to speak fourth, pre-Pete — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

Biden said “Donald Trump” three times in his opening answer. Big difference from Bernie, but also from last night’s crew. — PolitiTweet.org

Gabriel Debenedetti @gdebenedetti

Bernie’s starting with the stump speech, as expected. He won’t mind getting pushed on taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

two candidates now have gotten questions that basically gave them free rein to explain the core of their campaigns: Warren on how to structure the economy, Inslee on climate policy — PolitiTweet.org

These last two Qs/As with Booker are straight in his wheelhouse: he talks about guns, and about dealing with Republicans in the Senate, constantly on the trail — PolitiTweet.org

Booker's answer on guns is basically straight from his stump speech/answer on the trail. — PolitiTweet.org
