What Went Down In The Third Democratic Debate

Honestly, Americans send pretty mixed messages on what they want from healthcare. We like our insurance companies. We like single payer healthcare. Personally, I think people just want something that works but don’t really care what it is.

As your Castro correspondent, I wondered before the debate whether Castro would have another feisty moment like he had in the first two debates. And that was certainly it. I wonder, though, if it will actually decrease his favorable ratings, as Biden is very well liked among Democrats and that was a vicious attack.

The non-Biden candidates have a collective action problem in that it probably benefits them all collectively to go after Biden’s age … but maybe not the individual who starts the argument. So, Castro is taking one for the team in some sense.
