What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Buttigieg weirdly hasn’t been very involved, which I’m frankly not sure is a positive or a negative for him. One risk is that Klobuchar seems to be having a strong evening, who is a rather direct threat to Buttigieg’s coalition.

Warren and Sanders basically never attack the other candidates directly. They just keep talking about their very liberal policy plans, respond to attacks from the more moderate candidates and then restate those liberal ideas. Is this a good strategy? I don’t know what attacking from the left would look like, but maybe they should try it?

Alright — first break of the evening. Candidate correspondents give me a status update. How are the candidates you’re watching doing?
