Analysis: The Republican commander in chief emerged from the scrap largely unscathed, while several of his would-be rivals took aim at each other instead.

MIAMI — At the first debate of the Democratic presidential primary, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the other nine candidates on stage Wednesday charged that the"rigged" economy under President Donald Trump is benefiting only the rich, while they disagreed over the border crisis, military power and how to improve the nation's health care system.

When O'Rourke explained why he would let Americans keep their private plants, de Blasio saw an opportunity to strike."Why are you defending the private insurance industry?" he said from across the sage. "There are three women up here who have fought pretty hard for a woman’s right to choose," she said to cheers.Immigration saw some fierce disagreement among the candidates, several of whom switched between English and Spanish as they debated one of Trump's signature issues.that criminalizes illegal border crossings and took aim at O'Rourke for what he suggested was empty rhetoric.

"If you need a license to drive a car, you should have a license to own a firearm," Booker said, noting not everyone on the stage supports a gun licensing scheme. Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran and frequent critic of U.S. foreign policy, shot back at Ryan after he said the United States needs to stay"engaged" in hotspots like Afghanistan.

So is the most game changing candidate in a generation, AndrewYang Yang2020 DemocraticDebate2020 YangGang

If those two are the front runners this country is headed for sure disaster. One of two things happen. One of the soft hands inn the democratic party wins. They are not respected and are simply weak. Two Trump is re-elected and we know what that means. We are in serious

Time to FeelTheBern

With No flags on stage and with Spanish speaking candidates, I'm very confused in which country did this debate take place, or are they just panding to their new vote base?

Maddow was so bad it mad it hard to watch the debate !

Trump train

KamalaHarris2020

This thing is Joe’s to lose.

Harris & Beto or Warren & Beto 2020

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they will try to out do each other on free stuff

After the freshness of last night debate I hope that the two old white men don't suck the air out of the room

I could actually see Bill DE Blasio standing up and taking down trump

It’s not a debate it’s a love fest between declared people running and non paid employees from the DNC!!! NBC try to do your job and start acting like real journalist!!!

The person who could beat Trump in the group last night will have to look at Hillary Clinton 's tapes of the debate with Trump.

They better be practicing those Spanish skills. Lambe culos, eso es lo que son. Meanwhile, NO IMMIGRATION REFORM JUST PANDERING😡😡😡

Can’t wait to hear Biden answer all of his questions in Chinese. 😂

A child molester & a socialist. God help us all.

There all liberal idiets! Go TRUMP!!!

Bummer, I’m busy poking my eyes out with a butter knife.

I wanna see chairs flying across the stage tonight like they do in east Asia! Last night was a yawn-fest

AMAZON BLIMP AIRSHIP FULFILLMENT CENTERS WITH FREE PRIME SHIPPING or BUY A DASH CAM TO BE USED AS A WITNESS FOR YOUR CAR! WHAT ABOUT YOU, DO YOU NEED ONE? SO TYPE DASH CAM IN AMAZON SEARCH and LISTEN

Hope NBC tries to act like they really want to press the candidates on issues instead of trying to apply for jobs in their administration, the people want to see fairness in how you handle your democratic buddy’s and your Republicans enemies!!!

I will Paypal a reward to any staff member who follows chucktodd around today, and then when he uses the restroom, bar the door until after the debates are over.

Bozo O’Rourke and Booker speaking Spanish in a debate tells me everything I need to know as to why Democrats are so hell bent on allowing illegal immigration across our southern borders.

I am happy to hear today from Biden and Harris, may be Mayor Pete and some other ppl. But will have to mute Sanders for the sake of sanity. DemocratDebate

Give them hell Bernie!

After last nights terrible showing by the candidates. If there is no promise by Biden tonight you will start hearing that Hillary or Michelle are considering entering the race. The DNC knows no one from last night can win & they will not allow Bernie to win the nomination.

No one in the Demo Debate last night offered any solutions to immigration, gun control, medical coverage for all, etc. just 'I gonna make this happen'. I want to hear HOW they are going to make it happen & pull the trigger on that action now. Help the current admin get it done!

Dumb and Dumber.

Dull and mostly boring

Very sad

🥉🥉🥉 Oppression Olympics 🥉🥉🥉

Sorry, Democrat's/There is no John F. Kennedy 'in this first group'

That was the best part of the debate IMHO

You are just stupid. The Dems have talked to the American people and the people want to hear about what the Dems can do for them in terms of policy changes, not just about how bad Trump is. That is what YOU want to hear. The final Dem nominee will debate Trump.

That's good...tear each other down...hand the Orange Menace another 4 years.

It was a Democratic Debate. This is about who is better prepared to execute the duties as Commander in Chief. End of story.

You kidding me? He was EVISCERATED over border policy, health care, industrial relations, education, climate change & foreign policy. You may not have noticed as they didn't say the word Trump every moment, but they aren't you. They can do this without invoking his name.

Interesting. NPR this morning directly contradicted that opinion, saying they largely attacked the POTUS while leaving each other alone.

We already KNOW about djt, we wanted to hear about the candidates. Stop trying to promote a cage match, not a again NBC!

And Chuck Todd continued to prove himself a horrible moderator and interviewer.
