If you read one summary of the Democratic Debate, don’t read this one. But if you read a few and want to hear some observations and thoughts, insights and questions, straight from the gut, via the twitter, of Katie Halper you won’t be disappointed.

• Having GOP debates before #DemDebate is terrible event planning. You put the funnier act last, not first. Dems have no chance. #ComedyGold
• Waiting for the narrator to say, “in a world!”
• I’m fluent in New York accents and am available for simultaneous translation of
• Lincoln Chafee is so awkward it’s endearing. He could be a sleeper. Dunno whether to cry or vote for him or both.
• It’s hard to get excited about a debate when everyone on stage believes in things like vaccines & evolution. #snoozeFest
• “Is anyone else on the stage not a capitalist?” – Music to my ears!
• “You supported Sandinistas, you said you’re not a capitalist.” Anderson Cooper questioning a candidate? Or me vetting boyfriends?
• The block of granite known as Lincoln Chafee & the robot inside of Jim Webb’s skin are doing surprisingly well.
• You know Jim Webb can’t keep the terms “people of color” & “colored people” straight. #TheStruggleIsReal #WhitePeopleProblems
• hearing Bernie Sanders say, “I come from a rural state” in his thick Brooklynese accent is amazeballs.
• Say “R” where there is no “R”: (idear) Don’t say “R” where there is one: (motha). #ProTip #NewYorkAccents #HowToTawkLikeBernie
• And that, little children, was how Bernie Sanders won Hillary Clinton’s vote!
• Did Hillary just humblebrag that she’s made an enemy of a country consisting of over 70 million people?
• I’m still waiting for @joeBiden to peel off Jim Webb’s skin suit and declare that he’s throwing his hat into the ring.
