What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Warren was seemingly hurt in the last debate by candidates trying to attack her from the right, so it’s interesting that we have another dose of that early on in this debate.

After two frankly softball questions earlier, I wouldn’t be thrilled with the framing of that health care question if I were Warren’s campaign.

Ninety-one percent of Democrats said that they favor a “national, government-administered health insurance plan that would be available to all individuals,” according to a CBS News poll released in October. Among Democrats who favor the plan, 57 percent said it would work better if it “competed with private insurance,” while 32 percent said it should replace all private insurance.
