What Went Down At The Nevada Democratic Debate

I’ve been watching Buttigieg, and he’s been aggressive tonight — but I don’t think that exactly sets him apart! He got in a jab at Bloomberg and Sanders together for not being Democrats, although I think Warren has been the most effective Bloomberg attacker tonight. He sought to cut Klobuchar off at the knees by introducing a wider audience to the fact that she forgot the name of the Mexican president, but Klobuchar had a pretty effective rebuttal about Buttigieg’s lack of experience. I think Buttigieg’s strongest moment was when he effortlessly inserted himself into a discussion about the overzealousness Sanders’s online supporters.

Well, here in the Boston media market, I just got a Bloomberg ad in the middle of this commercial break.

Klobuchar has kind of been at the center of the action tonight! Which I think is good for her, even if she hasn’t given her most polished answers and seemed a little flustered at times — the last thing she wants right now is to fade into the background. But she’s certainly getting a taste of what it’s like to be treated like a front-runner.
