What Went Down In The Fourth Democratic Debate
I thought Biden’s answer was pretty decent too, but more like a B+ than an A, because I thought he could have been a little bit more indignant about how the president is doing impeachable stuff to sully his family’s name, etc.
It’s certainly true that there’s no evidence that Biden’s son did anything criminal, but it’s less clear whether he did anything wrong. I think there is real debate about whether Biden’s son being basically paid big bucks because he theoretically had access to his father, the vice-president, is particularly good or ideal. And maybe it was wrong, but not criminal.
In the FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll conducted this week, 19.2 percent of people said health care was the most important issue to them in the Democratic primary. Here’s who those respondents thought would be best at handling the issue. (See other results from the poll here.)
