As much as I wanted to watch last night, by the time we finished with chores, it was just ending. However, I tried to find an unbiased article, and some video clips for you. I hope to do better in December.
Just 10 weeks out from when the first votes are cast in the Democratic primary, four candidates have separated from the rest of the field – Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg. In the fifth Democratic debate last night, those four needed to shore up their strengths and address the weaknesses of their electoral coalitions. The remaining six needed to manufacture memorable moments that would help them make inroads against the leaders.
By this metric, Amy Klobuchar and Warren emerged from the pack. The first hour was Klobuchar’s best thus far, relying more on responses that showcased her witty, affable side that tends to resonate with voters more than detailed technocratic responses. This was in sharp contrast to the sharp-elbowed responses from Biden and Buttigieg – whose supporters Klobuchar needs – who were fending off attacks most of the night. Meanwhile, nearly all of Warren’s responses addressed racial disparities, a tack surely meant to appeal to black voters with whom she’s underperforming but desperately needs in order to have a shot at the nomination…
