What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Quite the question from Mitchell. “Mr. Vice President, President Trump inherited the North Korea problem from past presidents over decades. What would a President Biden do that President Obama didn’t do in eight years?” Guess there’s some risk in claiming so much of Obama’s legacy as your own.

Harris plays to Democrats by going after Trump’s “fragile ego” regarding his approach to foreign policy, but she also shows commander-in-chief chops by arguing the president “traded a photo op for nothing” in his dealings with North Korea.

Sometimes it feels like Steyer, Sanders and Warren are running for “policy president,” while Booker, Buttigieg, Biden and Klobuchar are running for “unity/coalition-building/civility president.” And those approaches and strategies result in them almost talking past one another.
