What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Perry, I think it’s because they saw that the best path for Buttigieg to gain ground with moderates was to attack Warren and Sanders.

So it feels like the other more moderate candidates (Booker, Klobuchar) are still attacking Warren and Sanders. This is kind of odd, because Pete is surging in the early states and Biden leads nationally. Why not attack those two? But I wonder if the moderate candidates have decided that voters might see Pete as too young and Biden as too old and might be looking for the same moderate message but from a person between ages 40 and 70.

I didn’t realize that Booker is nowhere near qualifying for the December debate. So he really does need a boost out of tonight, both in the polls and financially.
