What Went Down In The Third Democratic Debate

I doubt Sanders’s scratchy throat will affect his support tonight. However, I’m reminded of Pete Wilson’s presidential run in the 1996 cycle, when he got a late start after complications from throat surgery, sounded terrible on the stump, and withdrew long before the primaries.

Clare, maybe they read the polling that says that Barack Obama and his presidency are still wildly popular among Democrats.

Harris’s answer on health care focused mostly on Trump’s attempts to kill the Affordable Care Act. That’s not a bad strategy, since Democrats are more enthusiastic about building on the ACA than replacing it with something like a Medicare for All plan.
