Overall, Klobuchar had a good debate. She gave a number of lengthy, detail-filled answers on issues ranging from health care to the coronavirus to how to best approach North Korea in that last segment. She made some early attempts to broaden her appeal by trying to make the case for her candidacy to black voters, perhaps pandering by quoting MLK in her opening answer but also highlighting the need to protect voting rights and live up to the promises that the Democratic Party makes to black voters. Thing is, I’m not sure there’s any way she’s going to truly break through in South Carolina even with this debate. She’s at like 5 percent in our polling average there.
