What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

This has been a good sequence from Steyer on climate change, although if the issue were that much of a needle-mover, Jay Inslee would be on stage tonight.

Steyer is excited because he mentioned Biden to get into an exchange with Biden and it worked! Now he gets to engage with a candidate who might produce headlines.

This feels like a pretty vague answer from Gabbard on climate change. She seems to be blaming partisanship for a lack of action, but she’s not really talking about any concrete solutions. In fairness, though, it is hard to present your solution for climate change in a minute or less.
