Visions of fairytale promises and party rifts flare. Sanders and warren take friendly fire on far left agenda. Been in virginia, republican. Good morning caller good morning. Host what did you think of the debate . Caller i am a republican. Hase the democratic process been ongoing host can you turn down your tv or press mute . Process,he democratic ever since the clinton days i think has been a ridiculous freak show. They have nothing to do but whine and cause as much stalling and stage events as they can possibly come up with and it has been an ongoing charade that is getting worse by the day. They have no plans. They have nothing tangible to go on. They are just astronomers, fairytale, fractured fairy tales. Why i think i think the plan that trump has outlined is doable. There are some debatable issues. The southern border crisis, but is not our fight. Lets go home and resolve their own problems. Host can i jump in . Are you set on President Trump as your candidate . Caller i am. Host because of what he has done so far and has talked about doing . Caller exactly. I think he has been very easygoing. I expect him to stomp through this democratic commotion much more forcefully than he has. He has been polite in putting up with their rhetoric and harassment. He is not going to be deterred. Program is doable and i am all for it. Host im going to leave it there. Al in hudson, new york, independent. Caller good morning. It is actually castleton, not hudson. Host is that on the hudson . Caller yes. It sounds very high class but it is very middleclass. Watch much of the debate last night purely for the fact that there was something i have more ord less coalesced around a few candidates, biden being my main choice right now. He is middleoftheroad, he speaks to the middle class and that was the problem with the democrats under hillary clinton. The democrats forgot who the middleclass were. She was always endorsing all these fringe groups, which is fine, but i am middleclass. I am a veteran. I raised a family and work for a corporation for 35 years. I earned my retirement. I am 70 plus right now and i still work a parttime job. I view this whole thing right now as a stage full of people selling books or running for getting free advertising for the office they are running for or trying to get some notoriety. Host the name joe biden did come up in last nights debate. Mary in new york, democrat caller. The former Vice President will be in tonights debate. What did you think of last night . Caller i have to agree with the brother from virginia. I am a democrat but this is so disappointing. Wherebelieve that we are right now. The Democratic Party better get it together. Trumps number one for me. People walking through our borders and doing whatever they want. It just cant happen. Has immigration always been a single issue you vote on or is it is this something new for you . Arizona, nornot in am i in texas but hearing from those states and what they are having to go through, i feel bad for people who are coming here to seek an opportunity, but i agree with the president. You apply from your country and then you decide to get a paper and you come here. We will welcome you and help you as best as we can but you cant just walk around our country and do whatever you please whenever you please and then you want to tell us what we should be doing with our country . I speak spanish and i know what these people are saying. That cannot happen. Issue, thatthis one is how you will make your decision . Caller absolutely. These other candidates Start Talking reality, trump is my man. Have dro, what do you we will go to bill and then to pedro. Bill in republican. Caller you talk about this border crisis. We had clinton and bush, 16 years of open borders, look what it did to this country. I voted for mr. Obama. I respected him as a president. All the whites moved to the suburbs so all i am seeing for these new candidates is wanting to start another white blight. Where are white people going to move . That was very racist what president obama said. Chelsea in alabama, independent. Caller good morning. Commentlling to make a about the debate last night. The candidate that stood out to me the most was mayor pete. And ad a lot of his ideas lot of the things he was saying. I do think up do i think america is ready for him . I do not know. I like Elizabeth Warren and i like bernie. A couple callers were making comments about the border and everything. I wish that people nobody is saying that they just want to have the border open for people to walk over and just walk through. It wasnt a crisis until President Trump made it a crisis. They are telling me that obama deported more people under his presidency. That means things were getting handled and it wasnt a problem. People were still able to come over and seek asylum and i think they need to go over there and fix some of those places and maybe stop the people from fleeing. Address the root of the problem. Host what do you do for a living in alabama . Caller i am in management. Host what did you like about mayor petes ideas . Caller i liked mayor pete thatse i do think sometimes we need to do something new and we need fresh ideas and we need somebody he is the only candidate that is talking about doing something new. Reconstructing some things. As far as the government. He was talking about some things because maybe it is time we look at some things that dont work and reconstruct some things just like you have to overhaul anything. Mayor pete is great but i think i am looking for someone who will tell me how to make things better for everybody. Host mayor pete talking about his record as the mayor of south bend. [video clip] as an urban mayor serving a diverse community, the racial divide lives within me. I am not saying i became mayor and racism or crime or poverty ended in on my watch but in our city, we have come together repeatedly to tackle challenges like the fact that far too many people were getting the help they needed in housing. In the wake of a Police Involved shooting, our community is moving from hurting to healing by making sure the community can participate in things like revising the use of force policy and making sure there were Community Voices on the board of safety that handles police matters. I proposed a douglas planta cap to tackle this issue nationally because mayors have hit the limits of what you can do unless there is national action. Systemic racism has touched every part of american life, from housing to health to homeownership. A hospital ando you are black, your reports of pain will be taken less seriously. If you apply for a job and you are black you are less likely to be called. Frompose we do everything investing in historically redline neighborhoods to supporting entrepreneurship for black americans. Host more argrr calls coming up, your reaction to the democratic debate at first, pedro on more of the debate. Guest you hurt chelsea talk about who she liked. One thing that some did not like about the debate was the format itself. The New York Post picking it up in a story this morning, saying that the candidates were given 60 seconds to answer questions from moderators and 30 seconds for rebuttals but the rapidfire turnaround left some viewers peeved. The time limit is horrible tweeted one. I stopped watching when i realized no one could finish an answer to a question. Another user added, this format is a disaster. One person said they quote, hate this freaking time limit. And then the week magazine on its website, took a look at another aspect of the debate, the start saying after a minutes long video sitting up the stakes for the night, the candidates were invited one by one onto stage but there was an elaborate presentation of colors and the National Anthem and then a commercial break. After 15 minutes, the candidates were finally invited to deliver their opening marks. Only 10 minutes later did cnn finally dive into the suss the substance of the debate. Sue ine host florida, democrat. Caller i am calling because i watched the debate last night and was left terribly frustrated. I love mayor pete. I think he is the only one who made any sense. We have got to figure out as democrats, if we want to overthrow trump and 2020, how to coalesce and come together and stop making comments that are not going about that is not going to work, we will change the government, we have to appeal to those people i live in florida, ohio, minnesota, michigan, and figure out what it is they need to hear, and then we need to figure out how to make them happy so they want to vote trump out. Host john in virginia, independent. And thanksd morning for having me on. When i think of who would be the best candidate to debate trump on stage, i think it is bernie sanders. Long votinga record, he has been consistent in his messaging throughout the 2016 campaign and today. The idea of having health care for all or College Education paid for, i dont think it is radical. When i think of my kids or grandkids, being able to have a better life, a better job, maybe longer in health because they have Better Health care, i dont think those ideas all. We pay for high school at the Public Education level of the 12th grade, so paying for four more years does not seem extreme to me. Eric, lorton, virginia. Republican. The Democratic Party in general host can you start over . To commentould like on the Democratic Partys tactics of dealing with donald trump over the past several years and the upcoming election. Radical, andcan be their responses are even more ical, control faction of the Democratic Party which takes it more extreme but the bottom line is, what they are fighting for does not resonate with people. Whatever what party no matter what party or the Federal Reserve announcing today it is cutting Interest Rates by a quarter of percent, the first cut since 2008.
