The Funniest Tweets about the Democratic Debate

Okay, yes: this isn’t the most timely content you’ll read tonight. The most recent Democratic debate wrapped up over 24 hours ago, which, in this age of Trump, means there’s been like 15 major breaking news stories since then. (Seriously, the look on Trump’s face in that photo of Nancy Pelosi dressing him down in that meltdown meeting today is funnier than any of these tweets.) I was too busy getting absolutely hammered at the Star Wars bar at Disneyland to actually watch the debate, much less embed tweets about it (thanks again, cantina bartender who kept me pickled in Jet Juices all night). Still, I have a job to do, so sure, let’s do it. Last night’s debate seemed to highlight the gulf between Sanders and Warren and every other candidate, with the endless squabbling over how to fund Medicare for All the focus of most of the chatter. As a 10-year veteran of the insurance industry, let me tell you from experience that it basically needs to be razed and the earth it once stood on thoroughly salted. There are only two legitimate candidates at this point in the game, and I think I speak for most of America when I say that I wish they’d just go ahead and get married already. Even though they’re already married. I dunno, they can figure that out.
Hey, here are the tweets. If you like ‘em go follow the tweeters what tweeted ‘em.
Mayor Pete: Elizabeth Warren never says HOW she will pay for Medicare for all!
Elizabeth Warren: Taxing the rich.
Pete: You NEVER say how!
Bernie: I wrote it. We’ll pay it with taxes. Instead of out of pocket.
Klobochar: But HOW will we PAY for it?— “Ian” Abramson (@ianabramson) October 16, 2019
The heart attack has only made Bernie stronger. At the end of this debate he’s going to levitate off stage for a few seconds before blasting into space and reversing the earth’s orbit Superman-style

Bernie had a heart attack because he’s legitimately outraged at our broken system. Any other candidate that hasn’t at least had a stroke clearly doesn’t give a shit about you or me.

I will listen to Bernie about healthcare because he was the last candidate who was in the hospital. #DemDebate
