What Went Down At The Nevada Democratic Debate

Bloomberg giving a Trump-esque answer on taxes! Basically saying that because he makes so much money and it’s so complicated, it takes a suuuuper long time to get it together. Hm!

An aside, but Sanders’s mention of visiting a Nevada hospital reminds me of this great, and also dire, lede from a 2011 Las Vegas Sun piece that was a Pulitzer finalist. “There’s a running joke about hospitals here: ‘Where do you go for great health care in Las Vegas?’ ‘The airport.’”

Buttigieg seems to have made the decision that his best bet is to attack Sanders tonight (although he also got in his shot at Bloomberg). This makes sense, I guess, given that the second Buttigieg bump came when he attacked Warren for being too far left in one of the fall debates. He can win over Klobuchar and Bloomberg voters by standing out in other ways, not necessarily tearing them down.
