What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

I wonder if many of Gabbard’s supporters are watching tonight. Compared to the supporters of most candidates, her supporters are more likely to identify as Republicans, independents or as conservatives.

I know we’ve complained about these debates focusing too much on health care but … since it’s one of the issues that actually does divide the field, I think you’ve got to give more of a chance for other candidates to weigh in instead of pivoting to a Tulsi Gabbard question.

So Warren and Sanders didn’t get attacked on Medicare for All for as long a time or as intensely as in past debates. I think that’s a bad sign for them — the other candidates don’t feel the need to bash them as much as before, since Warren has fallen in polls.
