The 2nd Democratic Debate begins tonight at 9:00pm EDT/6:00pm PDT and PlanetPOV is hosting a simultaneous live chat so you can share your thoughts and discuss the debate in real time with fellow members.
You can watch tonight’s debate on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo.

That’s it, the chat window will pop up and you’re in the live chat! For those who haven’t signed up for an account (it’s quick, easy and free so please do!), you can still read along with the chat.
With Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders among those participating in tonight’s debate, there may be more fireworks and confrontations than we saw last night so it should be very interesting…and live chatting through it here at PlanetPOV makes it even more engaging.
Hope to see you then!
What will be the questions the moderators from MSNBC select for tonight’s slate of candidates. I wish the the questions came from the people. Last night’s questions weren’t “bad”, I just felt they were too soft. Sell me tonight – if I had the chance to ask EACH CANDIDATE this question – how can you beat Trump? It can’t just be that you aren’t Trump – and that’s it. Sell yourself to the GOP tonight – not just to each of us – because we must nominate a candidate who can get us all the way back to the White House. As a liberal Democrat I want to know from MSNBC’s perspective – what will it take to get a majority of GOP voters as well as a majority of Dem voters to agree on a singular candidate. I felt as though – sincerity factor – Tulsi Gabbard went the furthest toward connecting with me and she was speaking to Americans across the divide too. And Gabbard wasn’t even on my radar – before yesterday. You gotta be genuine and sincere. Tulsi Gabbard on the stage after these two debates have been wrapped up – with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Governor Inslee. I like parring candidates down like that. I can let go of a whole host of others – if I think like that. What will it take… to be trusted and believed – and unite both parties.
Hi nehalem, welcome to PlanetPOV!
I’m not a fan of Chuck Todd, I felt his questions, including a conspiracy theory about Dems taking away everyone’s guns, were all pretty bad.
I also wasn’t crazy about Guthrie’s starting the debate off by trying to goad candidates into attacking Warren. The issues at hand are far more important than trying to stoke fights over smaller differences between Dems.
I do think a paring down is important and after these debates, I think some will be on their way out.
I’m not a Gabbard fan myself for multiple reasons, including her affinity for Syria’s Assad, her anti-LGBTQ past and her stampede to embrace Trump once he was elected. That said, I have to admit she came off well last night though she didn’t answer the questions she was asked and instead focused on her military background in each response.
My general feeling last night was that all of the candidates were sensible and legit, a far cry from the circus sideshow that was the Repub primary in 2016.
Hope you can make our live chat tonight that accompanies this 2nd debate, it’s a great way to enjoy the debate.
Just to give you a little more background on Tulsi, she has the RW outlets promoting her including Drudge Report, Brietbart, Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller and the racist/Nazi Trumpist playground of 4chan. She is the candidate RW Repubs back to sabotage the Dems.
