First of all, Amy is not my choice for the nomination.
I thought she did well last night by being rather aggressive in stating her case for moderation, and also delivered the strongest critique to Elizabeth Warren. Eventually Warren is going to have to spell out exactly how her policies can be enacted...better now than later. jmo
I think the ticket is going to require a mid westerner, and I think she made a case for herself.
I like Pete a lot...and if I had to say who had the best debate, I'd pick him.
I can certainly grant that she caught Warren a bit off balance, but Bernie swooped in and saved it by explaining what she would not; probably her strongest moment, but it's not saying all that much.
As to Pete, I just don't see it. It was the usual serving of eyeroll worthy platitudes with the added novelty this time of making attacks against progressive policies, largely on the basis of some nebulous assertion of their being divisive, most of which fell completely flat after Bernie and Warren responded. I suppose he had a couple of strong moments against Tulsi, but that's about it.
