What Went Down At The December Democratic Primary Debate

Moderators are being tough on Warren tonight. This is the second proposal of hers they’ve described in terms that paint it as impractical. When talking about her wealth tax earlier, they said, “taxes of this magnitude would stifle growth and investment” and now on nuclear energy they said her goal of “net zero emissions by the year 2050 without utilizing nuclear energy” was “impossible.”

Juuuust about the most explicit Midwest = Electable appeal that you’re ever going to get from Klobuchar right there (which, of course, I’m a fan of as a Midwesterner and someone who thinks the candidates should be more explicit about electability).

“It’s not flyover country to me. I live there,” Klobuchar says, practically laser-focusing her voice through the cameras toward Iowans.
