He got off some good lines, countered Bernie's Social Security lies, and dropped a bombshell when he committed to picking a female vice president. Here's the exchange on SS:

Sanders told those watching at home to visit YouTube -- where the first search result for "Joe Biden Social Security" is a video posted by Sanders' campaign in which Biden says to "put all of it on the table."

Biden said he was willing to put changes to Social Security on the table "in order to get the kinds of changes we need on other things related."

"But we did not cut it," Biden said.

Don't spoil it for me, if so! I'm saving it for my self isolation treat.

The debate didn't change anything. Biden did extremely well and Bernie did fine except for a double down on thumbing his nose at Florida Democrats via Castro and an epic stumble when Biden said he was choosing a woman as his VP. Bernie obviously had no plans for such and fumbled about tossing out the progressive fallback.

Biden is still the clear front runner and he definitely seemed presidential tonight.

I'm going to get a couple of episodes out before I indulge, but I appreciate the tiny teaser!

This is the equivalent of a big persons frozen as far as a diversion goes.
