Chris Cillizza @CillizzaCNN: Whether you like him or not, Buttigieg is the best debater on stage. And it's not that close.
Ameshia Cross @AmeshiaCross: [email protected] gets it. He perfectly laid out the challenges teachers face and the high stakes expectations we have for them including in school gun violence situations. The burden of teachers is a daily focus for him. He's married to one #DemDebate
Jen Psaki @jrpsaki: So the youngest guy on the stage has the most thoughtful and comprehensive answer on the threats we face. Imagine that.
Leah Daughtry @LeahDaughtry: [email protected] Major with the clapbacks tonight. #DemDebate
Robert Shrum @BobShrum: Pete Buttigieg is winning this debate if that matters.
BET @BET: Mayor Pete reminds the candidates that it’s not just the Presidency that needs addressing, but also the House and Senate. #DemDebate #ReclaimYourVote
Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz: [email protected] is right – moderates are why the Democratic Party won back the House in 2018. @JusticeDems flipped exactly zero red seats to blue.
Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP: [email protected] addresses #votersuppression at the #DemDebate. This is one of the most serious issues facing our community, and I’d like to see other candidates take on this issue. Our vote is our power.
Robert Wolf @robertwolf: #DemDebate @PeteButtigieg is spot on by bringing up the huge concern for all Dems with the prospect of putting the House majority at risk & lowering the chances of taking the Senate. Top of the ticket is key for up & down the ballot
SC Representative JA Moore @jamooreforsc15: Gun violence is personal to me. My dear sister had her life cut short in the Emanuel AME church shooting. Like @PeteButtigieg said, we can’t have a third school shooting generation. Shame on us if we don’t act to prevent it. #DemDebate
David Axelrod @davidaxelrod: He has an uphill fight in S.C. and beyond but @PeteButtigieg is having a very good night.
Chris Jansing @ChrisJansing: @PeteButtigieg with a strong answer tying respect for the US abroad to keeping our troops safe
Maria Shriver @mariashriver: [email protected] is strong when he talks about wearing the uniform and what the flag on it represents #DemDebate2020
Christine Quinn @chriscquinn: Whatever the topic is - @PeteButtigieg always has the best response. Extremely good on his feet while also being very thoughtful. Impressive #demdebate #Election2020
Maria Shriver @mariashriver: Smart of @PeteButtigieg to address mental health challenges in schools. So many teachers say they are dealing with this. We need more school psychologists! #demdebate
Jorge Andres @IBThatRaspOnTV: He has not memorized talking points. HE IS JUST SMART ...... People need to get that and get to know @PeteButtigieg. A HUGE part of critical thinking is critical listening. LISTEN. #demdebate @PeteForAmerica
