What Went Down At The December Democratic Primary Debate

Oh, Warren is going there. She has been suggesting on the campaign trail that Buttigieg and Biden are spending too much time at fundraisers and potentially appointing donors as ambassadors. So she is now making that attack on the main stage.

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.
