I for one don't bother watching the debates, I get the "highlights" after. They're not really offering anything in the debates I ddn't already know going into it.
I had already predicted Biden was going to walk off with an easy SC win, but I hadn't predicted it would be essentially a reversal of Nevada for him. He did it, he won his first state primary and he did it decisively. I also predict he's going to claim Florida for himself.
Meanwhile, the nicest of the centrists, Steyer, is stepping down. His support is likely going to end up with Biden. The most weasely of the centrists, Buttigieg, is also stepping down. I expect his support will end up going most towards Sanders if "second choice" polling data is anything to go by. It's strange, but that's how a lot of voters not paying too much attention seem to work, some other quality we can't quite pick up on seems to grab them.
Bernie meanwhile is taking a commanding lead in Texas polling data and already has that lead in California. Bloomberg is- going the distance. He's "smart trump", but that's a low bar. He also lacks the- ahem- charisma of Trump. He doesn't actually care about the results so far, he's going to spoil things for Biden since well, Bloomberg and Biden are "second choices" for each other.
Warren's the spoiler for Sanders. I don't get why she's still in the race. I feel so disappointed in her. In the summer, she was my favorite, but bit by bit she's eroded confidence, eroded her platform, and eroded her honesty.

"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)
