What Went Down In The Third Democratic Debate

Yes, Julia, isn’t this the inevitable by-product of direct primaries to choose nominees? The end of smoke-filled rooms where the meta-conversations used to happen …

O’Rourke set the tone for the segment on racism by saying “we have a white supremacist president in the White House.” I wonder how many other candidates will follow suit.

Some of O’Rourke’s strongest moments have been on race. That line about the true founding of the country being on the date that the first slave came to America was very strong, IMO.
