What Went Down At The First Biden vs. Sanders Debate
This was by far the best debate because it involved just two candidates and they disagree on a lot. They represent the two dominant ways of thinking within in the Democratic Party. I wish this kind of debate had happened when the results of the primary weren’t basically already decided and many people will feel uncomfortable heading out to vote.
I don’t know that Sanders had much of a shot in the primary anyway, barring the coronavirus having extremely unpredictable effects. And tonight, which was maybe Sanders’s last/best opportunity for a miracle comeback, I think instead Biden had one of his stronger debates of the cycle. Some people will question his aggression toward Sanders, but it seems to keep Biden focused and Sanders a bit off-balance.
All right folks, it’s end of the debate and Sanders and Biden finished by talking about the coronavirus and the fears many Americans feel in this moment. What do you make the whole event? Did it shift things going into Tuesday? And if not, how do you make sense of tonight?
