What Went Down On Night One Of The Second Democratic Debate

Well, said Galen.

In the wake of the first Democratic debates, various party leaders and strategists made it clear they thought the party was going much too far to the left. Tonight we are beginning to see the revenge of the moderates.

Yeah, Nate, I think that’s an interesting observation of the way that Warren vs. Sanders talks. A lot of people in our profession can see it as trite for a politician to weave in “real people’s” stories (it was sort of a classic Obama rhetorical trick) but it can be a really powerful tool and I think you saw Harris deploy it really well in the last debate.
