My Democrat Rankings after the 1st Debate Part 2

After the first debate (part 2), these are my new ranking of the Democratic Candidates for president.

1. - Cory Booker (Sen, NJ)

2. - Elizabeth Warren (Sen, Mass)

3. - Bernie Sanders (Sen, Vt) - Sanders does hit the same note and is weak on foreign policy, but he makes a good case on health care.

4. - Julian Castro (Sec, HUD)

5. - Kamala Harris (Sen, Cal) - She had a strong debate and her passion came across. Her interaction with Biden was awkward. It hurt both of them.

6. ↑ Pete Buttigieg (Mayor, Ind) - His mea culpa seemed a little forced, but he has the life story. He would make a great governor of Indiana.

7. ↓ Kirsten Gillibrand (Sen, NY) - She interrupted a lot at first. She had a good answer about her priority, but she thought she had a better debate than she actually had.

8. - Amy Klobuchar (Sen, Min)

9. ↑ Andrew Yang - Made a good closing argument. He didn't get much time, but he showed he belonged.

10. ↓ John Delaney (Fmr Rep, MD)

11. ↓ Bill De Blasio (Mayor, NY)

12. ↓ Tim Ryan (Rep, Ohio)

13. ↑ Michael Bennet (Sen, Col) - He seemed unsure of himself and was inarticulate despite having a worthy life story.

14. ↓ Jay Inslee (Gov, Was)

15. ↓ Joe Biden (Fmr VP) - Biden was strong on education and health care early in the debate, but he stumbled down the stretch.

16. ↑ Eric Swalwell (Rep, Cal) - He didn't have any policies except "pass the torch." That line didn't go well for him.

17. ↓ Tulsi Gabbard (Rep, Hi)

18. ↑ John Hickenlooper (Fmr Gov, Col) - He ran as the anti-socialist. He might do well in  a Republican primary.

19. ↓ Beto O'Rourke (Sen, Tex)

20. ↓ Mike Gravel (Fmr Sen, Alaska)

21. ↓ Marianne Williamson - She did not come across as a serious candidate for president.

22. ↓ Steve Bullock (Gov, Montana)

23. - Sestak, Moulton, Messam
