What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Yeah Clare, I was gonna say that of all the candidates who might feel annoyed by Democratic donors searching for a savior who is not currently running, I’d bet Booker might be the most annoyed. He has relationships with the business community, he’s not that far left, he’s young …. Why aren’t donors just trying to rally more support behind him?

Micah, my expectation would be that impeachment would benefit a candidate like Buttigieg, who’s not really linked with the national political establishment and not in Congress. He has been doing better since it started, but I’m not sure that’s linked. And the kind of impeachment fatigue and backlash against the impeaching party that happened in 1998 doesn’t seem to be happening. So maybe my initial theory is wrong.

I’ve been waiting to see a good take on how impeachment will affect the Democratic primary (as in, who does well in that situation), and … I haven’t. Is that just evidence that impeachment won’t affect the primary, or am I missing something?
