What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Klobuchar and Booker having a good evening — and I do think they’re having good ones so far — would be one of the more fun outcomes if you like CHAOS and BROKERED CONVENTION predictions.

Booker says “I happen to be the other Rhodes Scholar mayor on this stage.” He’s probably alluding to a HuffPost article published the other day that found that Buttigieg’s Rhodes scholarship is discussed in the media much more often than Booker’s.

Asking female candidates about sexism is common, but as Rebecca Traister has written, it puts women in the uncomfortable position of potentially coming across as whining about being victimized. I agree with Amelia and Nate that Klobuchar did a good job handling it, though.
