What Went Down At The January Democratic Debate

So Biden is going back to the “mistake” language on voting for the Iraq War, saying three times that vote was a mistake. Smart move, I think — there’s no need to debate that for him.

With his answer on Iran, Sanders is also highlighting his broader foreign policy stance, which is deeply anti-interventionist: “I am able to bring people together to try to create a world where we solve conflicts over the negotiating table, not through military efforts.”

Aaaand we’re off! It’s so interesting to me that Sanders is now trumpeting his foreign policy record (i.e., his anti-Iraq War vote), in part because in 2016 it was seen as his weakness. Obviously he was running against a former secretary of state in Clinton, but it’s just indicative of how much four years changes things.
