What Went Down At The Nevada Democratic Debate

I hate the framing of questions about policing/prosecutors/criminal justice that starts with the premise “how will black people respond.” It assumes that nonblack people would not care about these issues and that black people are particularly concerned about them. I’m not sure either is totally true. I think the focus on stop and frisk will hurt Bloomberg with nonblack voters as much as black ones.

Right before her third-place finish in New Hampshire, Klobuchar started to get questions about her record as a prosecutor in Minnesota. And she’s having to answer for it now in response to a question from the moderators. It’s interesting that this didn’t really come up before now — Harris was constantly being asked about her record a prosecutor while she was in the race.

I would like to note that no one has spoken Spanish yet this evening.
