What Went Down On Night One Of The Second Democratic Debate

O’Rourke talks in a very soothing, lilting way. It seems like it would make for a good speech — but doesn’t work quite as well on a debate stage.

Not quite true that every poll has Sanders beating Trump — here’s one that didn’t for instance — although I guess he said every “credible” poll.

I sometimes wonder if Sanders’s tendency to mention that every other country has universal health care so we should too actually works against him because of American parochialism.
