Only eight of the 19 Democratic presidential candidates have qualified for the November debate.

"Respectfully congresswoman, I think that is dead wrong," Buttigieg said to Gabbard. "We can end this war without embracing Donald Trump's policies."

"The difference between a plan and a pipe dream is something you can actually get done. And we can get this public option done," Klobuchar said.

The total amount is not clear, but with reported investments and salaries, the former vice president's son could be worth millions.

"Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47," O'Rourke said during the Democratic presidential debate.

Thursday's boring, old-time politician tone was painful to sit through. Remember the exciting, unpredictable, entertaining Republican debates of 2015-2016?
