All the Funniest Tweets From the First 2020 Democratic Presidential Debate
Whew, we made it! Wednesday night was the very first 2020 Democratic presidential debate, and the country got to watch as 10 of the Democratic presidential candidates took to the stage to discuss reproductive rights, health care, climate change, gun control, immigration, and more. As a refresher, the lineup on Wednesday included Cory Booker, Bill de Blasio, Julián Castro, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke, Tim Ryan, and Elizabeth Warren. (It was also a historic night, with more women on the debate stage than ever before, according to Vox.)
But enough with the pleasantries. Of course, there were a lot of opinions about Wednesday's debate and most of those opinions ended up on Twitter. Ahead, some of the best and funniest tweets from the 2020 debate kickoff.

The smartest way to prepare for these debates would have been to watch about 15 hours of Real Housewives reunions. A masterclass is not losing an argument on TV while surrounded by 9 other fancily dressed people competing for your screentime.

It takes balls to say you're fighting the hardest for women's rights with three women on stage. Like it takes literal balls because only a man would do that. #DemocraticDebate

Elizabeth Warren is always the first one to raise her hand and every ounce of 11-year-old me feels that so, so deeply.
