Here is my take on the debate last night:  Warren was attacked like she was the front runner.  She did ok in response to the attacks but she did not do as well as she did in the other debates.  It is tough to be the target, just ask Biden.

Sanders was actually better than in the other debates.  I guess heart attack helps!  Actually I think he was having problem with his heart and so was affecting him previously.  Now that he is treated and has better blood flow, he is better!

It was the best debate for Biden but then he was not the main target this time.  He still needs to get better and will see if holds the top spot after this.

I think everybody who has been around has improved.  So despite the worry that the debates cause the Democrats to make each other look bad, I think the debates make everybody better.  The question is will it make the eventual nominee great at debates.

I thought Steyer did all right.  I expected a half crazy billionaire who just talks about impeachment.  But for a political neophyte, he was not bad.

I think Klobuchar and Pete did the best, meaning the moderates are making some inroads against the liberals.  But it is unlikely that they can hold the moderate torch should Biden falters.

So here are my ratings:  Top quarter Klobuchar, Pete, Gabbard.  Second quarter:  Booker, Yang, and Steyer.  Third quarter: Sanders, Warren, Biden.  Last quarter:  O'Rourke, Harris, Castro. 

So the good news is that just about everybody has improved.  The bad news is that the three who are most likely to be nominated are only in the third quarter.  But they are the ones who are being attacked the most, so maybe whoever wins will be able to withstand the attacks of Trump and the GOP.
