What Went Down On Night Two Of The First Democratic Debates

Harris is doing well — one of the two best performers so far, I’d say. She has used emotion very effectively in her answers, and she had the line of the night (the “food fight” one).

OK, candidate correspondents, we’re about half-way through … how are your candidates faring on the stage tonight? Is their strategy working?

I continue to think that 10 people is just too many for a debate — it makes it so hard to engage, and even the major candidates disappear from view for long stretches. And since there are 45 possible pairings of 10 people, there are way too many possible exchanges.
