Tonight as I watched the second Democrat debate from Detroit in 2019, I tried to capture specific quotes from the candidates that caught my ear, and organized them by candidate. I've tried to remove my personal opinions, and simply quote the candidates:
Bill DeBlasio
As Mayor of New York...
I consider that a victory
We believe in redemption in this party
What they see when they turn on the TV or go online is just talk of impeachment
The best impeachment is beating him in 2020
Donald Trump pit people against each .... blah blah blah... we are going to tax the hell out of the wealthy... it is socialism or the rich... that puts working people first
Michael Bennet
Don't try to distract from the truth, you can't hide the truth
universal healthcare in two years
We have made income inequality worse not better through the policies of the federal government
Donald Trump should be the last climate denier in office
Donald Trump, who doesn't believe in the rule of law, who doesn't believe in the judiciary, who doesn't believe climate change is real
We need to put the divisive politics of Donald Trump behind us, and the divisive politics of the last ten years behind us. We need to come together, united against a broken Washington, make Donald Trump a one term president, and begin to govern this country again for our kids and our grandkids who cannot do it for themselves, we have do it for them
Jay Inslee
We can't allow a white nationalist to be in the white house
We have to get rid of the filibuster
For decades we have kicked the can down the road on climate change and now under Donald Trump we face a looming catastrophe
Literally the survival of humanity on this planet, and civilization as we know it, is in the hands of the next president
Kirsten Gillibrand
Nothing is impossible
I am a woman of white privilege
Why not have a clean energy race with China
I am running for President to help people
Tulsi Gabbard
Donald Trump is not behaving like a patriot
Our President is supporting al qaeda
Incoming missile: seek immediate shelter
There is no shelter, it's all a lie
Julian Castro
Make America better than it has ever been, let's do that together
Open borders is a right wing talking point
One of us has learned the lessons of the past, and one of hasn't
You are likely to see a prosecution of Donald Trump
Moscow Mitch would let him off the hook (regarding a Trump impeachment)
Adios to Donald Trump
Andrew Yang
Do the opposite of much of what we are doing right now, and the opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math
Get healthcare out of entrepreneurs trying to start businesses and watch the economy bloom
The most common jobs in America might not exist in a decade
Corey Booker
We need to unite
I'm grateful that he endorsed my presidency
You are dipping into the Kool-aid and you don't even know the flavor
We should start impeachment proceedings immediately
Politics of this be damned
The dream of this country is under threat right now
We have a real crisee, crises, in this country, the crisis is Donald Trump, but not only Donald Trump.
That we put more into indivisible into this one nation under God
Kamala Harris
Who are we? Better than this.
Separate employers and healthcare
You can't keep with the Republican talking points
Let's be clear about this...
As AG I did...
We have a predator living in the White House
Joe Biden
To restore the soul of this country.
To be very blunt and straight-forward, you can't beat Donald Trump with this plan. -> Kamala
Illegal immigration is a crime
I have guts enough to say his plan doesn't make sense
It took resul... resilience...
The bills that the President, the Future President, uh the Senator...
The fact is...in fact... fact was... the matter of the fact is... the fact of the matter is... would in fact...
Barack Obama...
I would not rejoin the TTP...
I love your affection for me, you spent a lot of time with me (creepy grin at DeBlasio)
I don't know what's happened, but you (Kirsten) are not running for President (staring her down, crowd howling)
We are in a battle for the soul of America
Eight more years of Donald Trump...
We choose science over fiction, we choose hope over fear, we choose unity over division, and we choose, we choose the idea as Americans, that when we act together we can do anything, this is the United States of America
