Watching.

Sometimes I just dislike someone for no apparent reason...

(Steyer)

2. Me too, do NOT care for him......

[beaglelover]

3. This Hilton guy doesn't sound like he was born in the USA.

[IcyPeas]

6. Trump endorsed too. I guess "some" immigrants are okay. 😉

[Silver Gaia]

8. Pretty sure he is South African.

[IcyPeas]

9. British- American. Fox news contributor too.

[Silver Gaia]

10. Thank you.

[oasis]

19. Hilton came here from U.K. 12years ago. He said.

[nbsmom]

26. LOL

He's an ex-Brexit advisor. Don't you love how he's so quick to suggest "drill baby drill" and "let's build single-family homes with California forests"?

[nbsmom]

29. Hilton is a former advisor to David Cameron and worked with Nigel Farage on Brexit.

The mind reels at the thought that he's been normalized by these random "polls."

[Silver Gaia]

44. Agree about mind reeling...

[Maru Kitteh]

4. This is unbearable. Just awful. EVERY CANDIDATE starts every topic with "ONLY I"

“I’m the ONLY candidate . . . blah blah blah ….. … .. . lather, rinse, repeat.

[a kennedy]

5. Annoying I know.....

[IcyPeas]

11. Good. Sheriff Bianco stole 650,000 ballots. Becerra suing him.

[DET]

12. Just Tuned In

Katie Porter seems kind of condescending towards Becerra. I can’t believe Hilton and the sheriff are even up there. Becerra seems to be holding his own; sounds reasonable and down to earth. I like him (not that it matters since I don’t live in California).

[Silver Gaia]

14. But I am a Californian, and I agree.

[IcyPeas]

21. And that other guy... Mahan? Mayor of San Jose?

Friend of Rick Caruso.

[nbsmom]

27. Even better -- he's propped up by money from Peter Thiel and Sergey Brin

Mahan might as well have an "R" after his name. He's also taking credit for stuff his predecessor did, since he's only been mayor for about 5 minutes.

[DET]

31. Never Heard of Him Before

Mahan seems to have a solid background, but his debating skills seem a little weak (IMHO).

[Silver Gaia]

13. Becerra is coming off as calm, cool, and collected.

Much more so than anyone else there.

[IcyPeas]

16. Yes. He has the best bio/background too.

[awesomerwb1]

17. And weak.

He let that idiot Hilton walk all over him.

[obamanut2012]

39. Nope

[awesomerwb1]

42. Yes

Hilton even stole Becerra's time when Becerra was the one who was asked the question (about Becerra's chief of staff pleading guilty). Becerra said nothing which kind of sucked. That said, I hope he does win. That Hilton guy is a charlatan.

[oasis]

20. Becerra is holding his own fending off attacks.

[LogDog75]

15. I can't stand Hilton

He's got what the British call a "posh" accent meaning upper crust. Also, he continues to smirk as and after he talks kind of like Tucker Carlson does.

[IcyPeas]

18. He worked for Fox news. They all must undergo training to be loud and obnoxious

[IcyPeas]

22. Villaraigosa and Porter dissing Becerra 🙄

[awesomerwb1]

23. And the m.agats having a love fest

[Silver Gaia]

24. They're ganging up on Becerra now!

He still seems calm.

I think we are behind everyone else, though.

[Cha]

33. About what, please?

Anyone attacking Porter?

TY.. interesting discussion.

[IcyPeas]

25. Chad Bianco said "It's about time we put a felon in the whitehouse"

[LeftInTX]

28. In Texas, sheriffs and constables are allowed to campaign and endorse while in uniform! And use their title!

It's wierd....But I've got a mailer right in front of me!

[Silver Gaia]

30. What I'm getting is that

this is coming down to Becerra and Porter.

[obamanut2012]

41. No, Steyer or Becerra vs Hilton

[Silver Gaia]

43. I thought Hilton sucked. I did not like him at all.

So, that's what I saw, what we wll saw at my house, regardless of polls. That is obviously different. And extremely scary.

[nbsmom]

32. Had to share this

34. As a mere observer in this race, I don't know who I'd vote for...

None stands out above the others.

Too bad Harris decided not to jump in. It would be hers to lose.

[Silver Gaia]

37. Agree. I am disappointed she didn't run.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

35. I thought Steyer seemed strongest.

And estimating that Hilton will make top two, a strong voiced counter will be essential, IMHO.

Plus he's an outsider. That might be the best counter considering the hole CA Dems appear to be in. Porter came off better than I expected. She was my rep. I campaigned for her. But then dropping out to run for Senate turned me off.

[JI7]

36. Even a weak Democrat will win in the general. The problem right now

is that Republicans might be the top 2 so we end up with an with both Republicans.

As long as one Democrat can make ut in the top 2 we will win.

But Steyer having a strong voice will help more after the election and the shit we have to deal with from Trump and other Republicans.

[Silver Gaia]

45. Agree.

[Silver Gaia]

38. Steyer? Really?

I liked him BEFORE this debate, but he turned off all 3 voters in this house tonight.

[Silver Gaia]

40. I dont want to see Hilton in the top two.

He was awful. I haven't seen him polling that high overall.
