What Went Down At The December Democratic Primary Debate

Warren’s joke went over a lot better than Bernie’s did. You sort of see how it’s easier to debate when the pressure is a little lower instead of when you’ve been rising in the polls and everyone targets you as a front-runner.

According to a December Morning Consult/Politico poll, 38 percent of Democrats think it is neither easier nor harder for women to win elections in the U.S. than it was five years ago. Thirty-three percent of Democrats — including 45 percent of men and 25 percent of women — think it has gotten easier for women to win elections, and 22 percent of Democrats — including 27 percent of women and 13 percent of men — think it has gotten harder.

In Obama’s defense, I think we can assume his comments about white old men needing to get out of the way aren’t really about Biden or Sanders!
