What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Julia, just to play devil’s advocate, conflict attracts attention, right? That may be behind Harris’s attacks on Gabbard.

Also, I wonder how much it actually helps Harris to get into a fight like that one with Gabbard in particular. It makes her stand out, sure, but wouldn’t she want to engage with one of the front-runners, rather than someone who’s in a more marginal position?

But Julia, I would argue that Sanders’s challenge was ultimately unsuccessful largely because he attacked the party.
