Well, Biden managed to have a decent performance in a debate without going into some senile meandering nonsense. I have to give him credit, he stayed on track this time. Do I think both Sanders and Warren did better? Well, yes, and Warren came onto the stage backed by that recent report basically praising her as a selfless fighter for worker's rights, which certainly helped.
Buttigieg had the absolute worst night, and it's well deserved. Once again he made the pointless claim that he's "the only person on that stage that's not a millionaire", which is only technically true. First there's assets to consider, and secondly rich or not he's getting his campaign funded by rich people thanks to that wine cave business he was up to. He's catering to the rich, he's influenced by them, and his campaign's essentially entirely paid for by them. In other words, he's not a millionaire perhaps, but he's working for them. He's corrupt.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
